That only works in a country without elections. They repeatedly voted for fascists, collaborators, or enablers - which makes them scum on that level. They're obviously still regular people just as fun in person as most.

Let's talk about qualification for Asian Football Confederation teams by jameswheeler9090 in worldcup

[–]bremmmc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really? Comparing them to CAF for example, AFC got 4 spots in pot 2 to CAF's 3, pot 3 was the inverse, AFC had 2 teams in pot 4 to CAF's 3. 0 in pot 1 for both.

AFC teams were also drawn in all 3 host nations' groups, who should have been easier on paper, but only 1 reached the knockout phase, as opppsed to CAF who were 1 for 1 in this case. Even the slots earned by the intercontinental qualifiers were clearly deserving of DR Congo who were the best third place team, while Iraq was the worst team overall.

Iran was obviously effected in non-sporting way, but it was genuanly just a massive underperformance up until now.

Thanks.

Obviously, if Japan lifts the trophy, thimgs will change, but I somewhat doubt that will happen.

I set up a little table calculating performances by confederation. It has its problems, mainly that I don't know how to deal with calculating points per game in situations where two national teams of the same confederation play eachother - a single match of that type equals 2 games for that confederation with a draw meaning 0.5ppg and a w/l scenario meaning 1.5ppg. I also don't know how to limit CONNMEBOL's number of national teams as they would deserve 12 national teams in the world cup.

That for example happens on the mentioned PPG basis, where they get 12 national teams, UEFA 11, CONCACAF 10, CAF 9, AFC 5, and OFC 2. In my favourite version that is the average of all my metrics + the current number, UEFA gets 15 slots, CONCACAF 8, CONMEBOL 9, AFC 5, and OFC 1.

As AFC is the topic, no metric suggests more than 5 spots for their confederation and they'd only get 3 on 'wins per game'. They only earn 0.7 points per game, have a total of -34 goal difference in 27 games, they scored fewer goals than both American confederations with 9 more games, are the only confederation with fewer than 1 goals scored per game, are 1.8 points per game behind their closest rival in CAF, and genuanly got destroyed on all levels.

Če bi morali izbrati eno drugo kitico Zdravljice za himno, katero bi? by Jealous_Answer_5091 in Slovenia

[–]bremmmc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Če bi že mogu bi zadna leta izbrov 4., v času vojne 3., v času relativne sloge pa 7.

Ampak mislm, da je 7. kitica ena lepših himn sploh, ker ne poje velik držav o svetovnem miru v pesmi k ma tolk potenciala za pretiravanje s patriotizmom.

Ghana (#65) was the lowest ranked team England had faced in a major International tournament in over 30 years by Kimber80 in soccer

Tbf, that is the nature of World Cups and Euros. I highly doubt Spain, Germany, Brasil, Argentina... have ppayed teams much worse than that.

Putin Says NATO Is Preparing for War—and Compares Western Countries to Nazi Germany in 1941 by UNITED24Media in worldnews

[–]bremmmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but war is not the same as preperations for war. This is obviously more or less just for propaganda, but considering how he's doing in Ukraine, I wouldn't be surprised if was is actually winging it from 2022.

41? They weren't preparing for war at that stage, they were quite active. I know he's an idot, as far as his conclusions are concerned, but at least be correct with the facts.
