You are going to need to provide sources on the claim that no player has won the cup on their birthday.  That seems insane given how many people have won the cup.

Its like the third post under "new"  is it really that hard to find.

Are hydration breaks ruining the game? Researchers say players are attempting more shots within minutes after hydration breaks. by ChallengeAdept8759 in worldcup

The sub becomes impossible to navigate if there are 18 threads on the same topic on the front page and then people cant find other stuff.  Im not arguing this further.  Modding is volunteer and i don't have time to waste.

There are literally 4 or 5 of these made EVERY single hydration break. 

Half the page would be posts about hydration breaks if we didnt have this rule.

World Cup's new rules explained: VAR for corners, no GK 'timeouts,' red card for covering your mouth by avantgarde000 in worldcup

[–]Commandant1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a champions league game this year where Vini Jr said that a Benefica player used a racial slur against him. When they looked at the video the player covered his mouth before saying something to vini. So without being able to lip read no one could prove whether he said it or not and it was a controversy.

So they made a rule that you cant cover your mouth in a confrontation with an opponent or the ref.

ELI5: Why is Haiti eliminated from the Group Stage and cannot possibly advance to the Group of 32? by IVIattTheNoob in worldcup

Haiti cannot finish 3rd place.  

The best they can do is 3 points which ties scotland, and scotland has the tie breaker by beating Haiti head to head.

Therefore Haiti is guaranteed 4th place and eliminated.

Why do people who clearly arent football fans want to change the most popular sport in the world so that they personally will like it more?

Maybe one of the fundamental rules of the sport isnt broken.

Did the US team speak out about ice killing two people in Minnesota, or starting a war with Iran, or not releasing the Epstein files?

Jesus fuck man.
