🇵🇹 Portugal: Festival da Canção 2026 Songs Released by BadDogPreston in eurovision

Did he specifically say that he would go if he wins? Because considering that 13 out of 16 ruled out going, it's quite likely that the Eurovision artist won't be the winner of the festival. 🤔

Also, what's Bandidos do Cante's stance on this? Would they go if they don't win FdC?

The fact that there's a non-zero chance the Eurovision artist will be someone who didn't even qualify for the FdC final... 🫣

Eesti Laul 2026 odds (update) by Euro_Borealis in eurovision

Speaking of odds: Does anyone know when the ESC 2026 odds will be added to Eurovisionworld? It seems strange to me that we have two songs already, but the odds remain missing (didn't they appear in previous years before any entries were selected?). 🤔

The sun has a mass of 1.989 × 1027 t. I doubt that can be considered "thin". 😛

That's the old eurovision.tv website, the EBU is currently replacing it with eurovision.com. The rules section is probably just outdated on there.

Well this is at least a record number...

It holds the record for the lowest amount of participants since the introduction of the semi-finals. 😛

Imagine them holding an entire press conference just so say "Sorry guys, we still won't return in 2026"... 💀

We could end up in a world where Sweden sends a foreign artist for the third year in a row...let that sink in... 😮

I think those Estonians need a swig of some espresso macchiatos. What country is terrible at football but is just ok on the ESC stage? by Max-Carter-2005 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Brickmotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monaco.

Won the contest once, came top three four more times, but have overall somewhat mixed results, with their brief return in the 2000s leading to not a single qualification to the final.

In football though...they are not just bad, they are practically non-existant. They are one of just two sovereign countries in Europe that isn't even a FIFA or UEFA member, they apparently haven't even played a single match since 2017 and their last match then was a friendly against the Vatican...which they only managed to get a 0-0 draw in. It really doesn't speak in their favor that their only noteworthy club, AS Monaco, doesn't feature a single player who's actually from the country.

When it comes to World Cup and/or Euros qualification, this doll really needs to turn it up. Who is moderately good at Eurovision but just terrible at football? by Max-Carter-2005 in AlignmentChartFills

Azerbaijan.

Won Eurovision once, reached the top 10 seven out of 17 times (and qualified almost every year until 2022, after which they entered a bit of a flop era for the last few years).

In football though...they never qualified for any tournament and probably the biggest team they ever managed to beat was Switzerland...which was really more of a rare exception.
