A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 kind of want to see the US win the world cup thanks to interferences like this from pedohitler. I've been saying that the FIFA is a corrupt organisation for a while and everyone has dismissed it by saying that it's not true. Well, here you have proof, now what?
Let's hope we see more of this in the next games; this world cup was a farce from the beginning, so cheating is just something that was bound to happen.
Everyone being so mad that the US wins that they just end fifa entirely? That would be hilarious. Let's make this happen.
He will call Infantino about those four unfair goals against the American team, too.
Bad calls are part of every sport. It happens. Rules are rules, and if the there is no official instant replay or challenge procedure then the call stands. Rules are fucking rules.
This is no longer about a bad call. It's about integrity.
Cheating at solitaire. Sad shit
I'm conflicted. Did he try to get it overturned? Or is he trying to get credit for it? I can see him doing both. Either way the refs have been shit in almost every game.

As if the peace prize wasn't bad enough, they now need to bring their corruption to the game itself.
If this doesn't alienate all member organisations, I don't know what will. They should pull the plug and start a new international federation with better accountability.
The man’s a crook. FIFA knows that ignoring him would potentially cause a nasty reaction and has disgustingly been compliant.
Birds of a feather, and all that. I know Sepp Blatter has been taken out, but I haven't had any indication that FIFA has been cleaned up.
It's unbelievable how much stupider the US seems now VS ten years ago, and it already seemed kinda stupid, but it also seemed very capable. The only country that's fallen harder is Putin's dry gas station.
and, as expected, trumps meddling cost them
Well fuck. I was pulling for USA but with this special treatment I’m not sure I can anymore.
