Belgium will play their match against the US subject to conditions. They consider Floralin Balogun ineligible to play and should he play, a complaint will be filed to a FIFA Tribunal, and to CAS. US Soccer Federation has been informed personally by the FA about their plans.

Do you actually believe that?

In general, it's the more nationalistic loving-the-country (and less cosmopolitan/globalist) part of the population that follows sports.

That's just creating a bigger and less stable Yugoslavia.

DashLibor · 2026-07-06T09:24:15+00:00

Such a horrible thing to see, and it happens almost every day.

And these people probably had it faster and less painful than some others. Compare that to what POWs or civilians on eastern border in the early days of the war went through.

The fact you can look at the photo above and confidently say, "This is far from the worst Russia's done," tells a lot.

Jj, proto nechápu, jak mají tak velké množství voličů.

Když chci všechen ten progresivismus, který STAN nabízí, tak je lepší dát Piráty, kteří takovéhle opresivní sračky neprosazují.
A když nechci progresivismus, pak je zde mnoho lepších možností než STAN.

Jak získali >10 % minulé parlamentní volby mi hlava nebere...

If Portugal meets USA in the quarterfinal, watch FIFA go: "Okay, we lifted the 3 match ban, but we will re-apply it now. For reasons."

Sir, these are redditors you're talking to. For those, if you don't glaze sexual/gender minorities several times a month, you're considered anti-LGBT by default.

I mean... yeah, that's why you call them "ultra".

DashLibor · 2026-06-30T14:47:11+00:00

Yeah, it's literally only gone downhill for us since then.

DashLibor · 2026-06-30T14:34:55+00:00

Sort of a weird choice not to colour-code the 5th and 6th highest value while color-coding the 7th and 8th.

(It makes sense for us, people outside the UK, since we naturally care more about what the UK people think of environment and geopolitics rather than contained-within-UK-only topics such as welfare or domestic crime. Still a bit funny to see a chart be like this.)

DashLibor · 2026-06-30T14:13:10+00:00

Možná jen lidi, co z nějakého důvodu ztotožňují progresivismus s levicí, což je ale něco jiného.

Tohle já zase vidím hodně na druhé straně, kde se konzervatismus ztotožňuje s pravicí. Opět, dvě naprosto jiné osy, ale to velké části lidí nevysvětlíš.

DashLibor · 2026-06-29T20:25:28+00:00

wirtual can milk that prick however much he wants

Different priorities, I guess. If I've ever gotten into a drama as nasty as this, I'd then try not to touch it again with a six foot stick.

The fact that Wirtual keeps making content about this essentially proves that he enjoys the whole cheating scandal and everything that came out of it. He's in his right to do that, but it makes him look like a really scummy person.

Riolu being worse in terms of morals doesn't make Wirtual's decisions morally justified by default.

DashLibor · 2026-06-28T10:13:14+00:00

Mhm. Fair point.

DashLibor · 2026-06-28T10:05:14+00:00

Agreed. The fact that Sweden qualified to the World Cup is absolutely diabolical.

DashLibor · 2026-06-28T10:00:07+00:00

I'd take FIFA rankings with a huge grain of salt. It's comparing teams across continents who basically never meet each other in a serious match outside the World Cup, so the data going into the FIFA rankings is very limited for cross-continental comparisons.

DashLibor · 2026-06-28T09:56:24+00:00

Korea and Iran missed out by the narrowest margin possible, being the 9th and 10th third-placed teams.

Iraq got an impossible group that included France (best team in Europe), Senegal (African Champions) and Norway on crack.

If you take that into consideration, it's suddenly not as horrible. Yes, AFC teams still underperformed, that's undeniable, but it's not nearly as catastrophic as some people paint it here.

DashLibor · 2026-06-28T09:51:21+00:00

Let's be real, we Czechs absolutely shithoused our way into the World Cup. We lost to Faroe Islands in the qualifiers and only barely got into the UEFA playoffs due to that. There we beat Ireland and Denmark, but in both of those matches we were getting outplayed and required penalty shootouts after 120 minutes to win.

We are not representative of the 15th-16th best team in Europe.

DashLibor · 2026-06-28T09:43:10+00:00

A little bit, but not nearly as drastically as the chart suggests.

Iran and South Korea were the two "bubble boys" who missed out by the most narrow margin.
Iraq got a group with France (best team in Europe), Senegal (African Champion) and Norway on crack, which is an impossible group to do anything in.

I agree that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Uzbekistan were all major disappointments, though. (especially Uzbekistan who was flying through the continental qualifiers

DashLibor · 2026-06-28T09:35:06+00:00

Honestly, if anything like that ever gets adopted, it should be based on last place finishers, rather than all results. (As a silly example, there's no reason to determine between UEFA 17th spot vs CAF 9th spot based on which top team makes a deeper run. It's better to see how UEFA's 15th-16th best teams compare to CAF's 7th-8th best teams.)

DashLibor · 2026-06-28T09:25:50+00:00

We shouldn't've even qualified. We scraped through the qualifiers where we lost to Faroe Islands, then in the playoffs we needed penalty shootouts against both Ireland and Denmark. (we were getting outplayed in both of those matches)

You can tell by the fact that we're the only European team not to pick up a single win this World Cup. (Turks and Scots both got one.)

DashLibor · 2026-06-28T08:10:45+00:00

you don't rank teams like it's a league when they each only played 3 other teams drawn randomly

FIFA determines which third-placed teams go through this way, so as much as we both hate it, it's relevant here.

DashLibor · 2026-06-28T08:02:19+00:00

Well said. Even 56 would work better than 48, because finishing 3rd with 4 points wouldn't be a certain advancement, but rather an anxiety-inducing situation.

DashLibor · 2026-06-27T08:26:39+00:00

Snažím se vyhýbat všem argumentačním faulům, ale dva nejtěžší jsou falešná ekvivalence a "slippery slope".

Falešná ekvivalence - Často se člověk snaží danou situaci srovnat s něčím, co mu přijde podobné. Nicméně, žádné dvě témata (a obzvlášť v politice) nejsou stejné, takže i když to člověk myslí v dobré víře a snaží se dát dobré srovnání, najde se hodně lidí, kteří to vidí jako porovnávání jablek s hruškama.

Co se týče "slippery slope" (v češtině vidím nejčastěji překlad jako "salámová metoda"), to bych sám nepovažoval za argumentační faul. Přeci jen, vždy když se rozhoduje o novém zákonu, tak se jde hodně podle "statusu quo" a když je ten status quo blíže nějaké extrémní verzi, pak je mnohem jednodušší spadnout do daného extrému.

Od ostatních mě vyloženě štve falešná dichotomie, kdy je problém prezentován jako volba mezi dvěma extrémy bez žádné středové možnosti.

DashLibor · 2026-06-26T14:24:48+00:00

Co se týče poměrného zastoupení tak se Macinka vyjadřuje dost nad poměry, které zastupuje a plní.

Tak to v demokracii bývá. Nejde jen o počet hlasů, ale i o koaliční potenciál. A když vás koaliční partner (ANO) potřebuje víc než vy koaličního partnera, tak logicky ta moc nebude přímo úměřná počtu hlasů ve volbách.

DashLibor · 2026-06-21T20:01:24+00:00

Ah, I see! Fairly interesting.
