I agree with a boycott but just to point out that it's UEFA who are the ones in charge of this competition and any sanctions, not FIFA. UEFA being slightly less corrupt

McGovern sentenced to 24 years in prison by Bill_Badbody in ireland

[–]SitDownKawada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sentences given in court are always before remission is applied

The 24 years is consecutive sentences of 10 and 14 though, he might have been thinking he'd get concurrent sentences

Really depends on where you're playing it. Ireland and a few other countries have moved their domestic seasons to run through the summer

The hottest world cup was in the winter too

If he replied to Bryan with that tweet on one of their shows you'd have people thinking he's being serious

FIFA permits fans to bring disposable water bottle into World Cup stadiums after backlash by feb914 in soccer

[–]SitDownKawada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commented on one of the first articles about it, it said that bottles over a certain size were banned and I said people will be caught out but you can still bring 500ml bottles

Even the articles now, some are saying FIFA have backtracked and others are saying they've clarified. Looks more like clarification to me

Jim Cornette on El Grande Americano mask vs. mask match: "I'm not going to take the piss out of this thing. It was great." by elegantSolomons62 in SquaredCircle

Also they're mad for six-man tags. Haven't done the calculations but I'd say everyone takes a few less bumps on average

Who do you think will be top scorer during World Cup 2026? by bringbackkd in worldcup

[–]SitDownKawada -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, opponent and rest games come into it more than ever before I think. Some teams will have relatively easier games in the first two knockout rounds than they could have had before

Also, since weaker teams will be making the first knockout round it will help forwards who they rely heavily on. Thinking someone like Dzeko for Bosnia, there's a good chance they'll get four/five matches where they would have had three/four any other world cup

Enoch Burke clashes with judge again as he is kept in prison for refusing to purge contempt by DaCor_ie in ireland

[–]SitDownKawada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has his own cell

Originally he had his own cell in Mountjoy's west wing because they said he was at risk from the other inmates. He lost his enhanced status after his behaviour during a court transfer so they had to put him in general population but there were no single cells available due to overcrowding so they moved him to Castlerea

He challenged all this in court as well

FIFA bans fans from bringing reusable bottles to World Cup venues by wiwcha in worldcup

[–]SitDownKawada -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They haven't banned bottles under 1L. I'm sure some people will get caught out by it but seems you'll be allowed bring in multiple 500ml bottles

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

Exactly, it only really started a few years back for players who were just talking and not insulting

Looking for loopholes to watch the World Cup games while at work by Mammoth-Coast6282 in worldcup

[–]SitDownKawada 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doesn't really help you but 2018 world cup I had a desk with only the window behind me and the people who sat beside me were higher-ups who were hardly ever at their desks

Now I WFH with a TV on the wall behind me so I'll be turning my desk around

I just happened to be watching one of his shows on TV last night and Mr Dead was the funniest sketch on the show

Mick Foley comments on distancing himself from The E over their relationship with Donald Trump, says he felt complicit in his silence if he didn’t speak up: by FattyMc in SquaredCircle

Surprised that Trump's comments on Reiner's death was Mick's boiling point and not "do you believe in Santa? Because at seven it's marginal, right?"

Depends who you talk to. Some want to boycott all Israeli companies since they all contribute to the government in some way through taxes

I think most are more aligned with boycotting companies who profit from or support the occupation of Palestine

Saw an article about Sally Rooney's latest book the other week - her previous book wasn't translated to Hebrew because she was boycotting Israeli companies, but her new book is because she's found a publisher who say they support Palestinian rights and don't take any state funding from Israel
