World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I saw an article that said NY-based fans were warning visiting Europeans not to attempt to walk to the stadium because of how pedestrian hostile it is.
It’s in the middle of wetlands across two rivers and over some cliffs from manhattan. Something like a 6-7 hour walk from midtown despite being like 6 miles away in a straight line
Edit:actually longer. My walking directions took the ferry across the Hudson. To actually walk you’d need to go up to the GWB.
That's absolutely insane!
That's like Evil Lair island shit!
We have some world Cup games in my city. The stadium they are using is definitely walkable but it might take about 45 minutes to walk there. The easiest way to get there is the regional rail connection so hopefully the transit authority runs more trains. You can fit 3 or 4k people in a commuter train at crush load so it shouldn't be terrible.
Considering that new York city has one of the better transit systems in North America I couldn't imagine how bad it's going to be in Dallas.
NYC is far from pedestrian hostile.
MetLife stadium is not in NYC, and no reasonable person is going to walk there.
It's on the city to invest some money to make it walkable in the 6 years since they won the bid. When else are they gonna get a chance to do so?
Or maybe the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority which owns it and rakes in an estimated yearly income of $166.5 million on years where there ISN'T a major international event should use some of their vast riches to make it accessible.
It’s neither in the city OR THE STATE. Plus, from the article I read it sounds like MetLife/NJ made the bid. https://foxsportsradionewjersey.com/2025/01/10/metlife-stadium-wins-2026-world-cup-final-bid-new-jersey-puts-up-67-5m-for-setup/
There’s transit, but walking seems like a crazy idea.
Tell that to Met Life Stadium
I dont care about met life. Im speaking of NYC.
I'm sorry, I meant Citi Field. It always messes me up that the Mets don't play at Met Life, and that it's not called Meadowlands anymore. Walking from the subway to Shea was no big deal, interesting neighborhood for a kid for the suburbs but walkable. Last time I went to Citi I remember not seeing any real pedestrian access although we did drive in ourselves.
