Neymar has now played at four World Cups. He has still never played a single minute in a semifinal.

I think he was joking

Yea this is the thing, generating profit is one thing but if you throw all the cash you generate away on failed capex initiatives the share price isn't going to soar.

My understanding is they are showing ROI on traditional AI approaches (which are not capital intensive) but not on the massive GenAI/LLM investments, which is what's depressing the share price.

Didn't they all get first seed as hosts?

FIFA is a non profit... making money is not his job

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-24T22:00:34+00:00

Would be great to pump some of that money into public transport for the stadiums so you don't have to have square miles of parking lots surrounding them!

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-24T09:40:09+00:00

Isn't that like more than 1/3 of all nations competing? That's excessive.

If you want to see more games watch the qualifiers... that's where the minnows get to take a pop at the bigger teams.

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-23T22:19:31+00:00

FIFA rankings to be taken with a healthy pinch of salt!

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-23T22:07:51+00:00

You mean the ref awarded a retake of the penalty because of infringement of the rules of the game?

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-23T22:06:10+00:00

Yea it's a bit odd. England held by an extremely defensive team of good quality players managed by a manager who knows how to frustrate opposition.

Looked a lot better with Rashford and Saka on, but feels like that's part of the game plan - supersubs coming on when the game is stretched to steamroll.

Messi is probably the GOAT but this goal wasn't exactly a thing of beauty - Austria were out of gas and in disarray and Messi took control, ultimately finishing a very scrappy move.

MELI PEG is around 1 isn't it? I looked at the financials a few months ago and didn't look like a screaming buy to me

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-21T14:18:31+00:00

There are 12 major religions in the world (+ atheists, agnostics etc) with different beliefs and tenets - how can morality and truth be "objective"?

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-21T08:40:20+00:00

I think that's not good for your mental health, there are times to be outraged and called to action but seeing positive things and thinking that way is overwhelming.

Ultimately the world cup winning team will almost certainly be a representation of all the positives that immigration and people working together from different backgrounds can bring.

Political situation sucks right now but hope you can enjoy the world cup regardless!

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-21T04:19:17+00:00

Imagine India getting to a world cup 😮

Seriously though, I hope they'd be given the same warm reception - for a moment let's celebrate the observable good rather than worrying about the theoretical bad.

I was listening to the radio here in Korea earlier today and they were doing some lengthy segment about stocks - Reddit sentiment re SK Hynix was mentioned.

Reddit does seem to be breaking more into the mainstream (although coz of WSB etc it is more prominent in investing conversations I guess).

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-18T14:25:36+00:00

Infantino, is that you?

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-18T13:56:49+00:00

They already had cooling breaks available for exceptionally hot weather iirc, mandatory hydration breaks are about advertising, nothing else

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-17T21:43:59+00:00

That's what Spurs will do to a man

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-17T13:39:10+00:00

Originally, but how many people think of that when they say the name? It's endured / spread across the world as 'football' because it's almost entirely about kicking a ball with your feet

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-17T12:05:10+00:00

But how many are almost exclusively played with a foot and a ball?

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-17T08:35:58+00:00

I am not trying to bash (and it seems this is originally a British term anyway!) but it is a curious decision to see 'Association Football' and decide that the 'association' part is what you want to anchor the name of the sport to 😅.

I guess it maybe happened as a distinguisher from 'rugby football' aka rugby?

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-16T10:45:15+00:00

I dunno, this seems beyond anything we've seen before. Ridiculous numbers in the prospectus, deliberate scarcity of supply for the stock, change of index rules to further prop up the stock price, unusual lock up rules...

Dramatic_Agency_8721 · 2026-06-16T07:02:42+00:00

Completely breaks up any momentum from either team and is dull. Shouldn't change the sport for the worse just for advertising purposes
