Competition World Cup 2026

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I think Trump is trying to head that way...the tariffs show that he wants global control imo..
However it is only my opinion and I don't expect other people to necessarily agree with it because it's subjective to me..
sadly you might be right and hope you are wrong
he could be
i also feel there could be bad times coming but more world wide for many different reason
i just don't want to see spurs fans fighting amongst each other :coys::angehug:

To borrow a phrase from the Ukrainians, we are very lucky that he's so fucking stupid. If he were this depraved and evil and were actually smart enough to get what he wants - if he were not so self-defeating with his lack of self control and general incompetence - the world would be in much more serious trouble then.

As it stands he's simply a lout and the sooner natural causes direct him shuffle it off, the better off the world will be.
someone said to me at work that its not him but the ppl behind him funding him (cant remember the names) are the real problem
but like i said in post before its fucking almost impossible for me to keep up with politics in switzerland
which is so fucking small compare to politics world wide
i think i gonna go back to talk about spurs and post silly/dumb stuff
i only came here in the first place to post that ↙️ but i got sucked in

so bye to this thread
and always remember
:coys:we are the best fuck the rest
 
I'm really surprised...I thought anyone would be scared by the us gun stuff...I certainly am...especially with this administration in power...
Nope - Gun culture doesn't bother me - I have a firearms license go caly pidgeon shooting in Brighton sometimes...

Whenever I'm in the states or a place that has a gun range I'm always there for a few hours - I'm huge fan of the SMLE my grandfather RIP taught me how use one to hunt rabbits...

Brighton's a bit too close to me...how about doing it in Northumberland?
 
Somalia is on the U.S. list of banned countries for immigration already, so I dont know why its technically a massive deal, it was known point, its not out of the blue... Plus all the rampant fraud in Minnesota its no surprise.
 
America has had 170 mass shootings ( 4 or more people shot ) so far this year . They don’t really keep records for individual shootings but it’s around 100 per day 😱

I’ve been over there plenty of times & love it but those stats are fucking insane

We have a lot of very violent and hateful people here. Years ago I had to leave the city as I thought the threat of random violence was too high. Guns were banned but it was still dangerous AF. I've heard the UK has similar problems these days...
 
Most of the homicides reported in Kansas City happen in an area representing about 10% of the city’s area.

None of the England team will get close to this area and a supporter would have to go out of their way to find themselves there.

The same is true of just about all US cities — violent crimes occur in very small areas. MOST of us urban-dwellers / suburbanites are completely unaffected by gun violence but I would encourage tourists like Spaniel Spaniel who obviously live in fear to wear bullet-proof vests.

Maybe its funny until you start talking to people who have had loved ones die to mass shootings, or to random violent crime. For me, I don't think it's very funny at all, and I think it's sad you seem to belittle the threat of it.

There was no attempt at humor in my post — just a dig at an asshole who thinks he should wear a bullet-proof vest ‘cos he’s in America — a place he thinks is Nazi Germany yet he visits.

Violent crime doesn’t affect all communities equally.
Stating that plain fact isn’t belittling anyone.

I’m not going to listen to idiots that think Danville is equivalent to the worst neighborhoods in Baton Rouge as they use the blanket term ‘America’.
There’s a greater likelihood of being murdered in Haringey than where I live.

There is some of that to a degree -

But I have gotten older the spectacle has become so sanitised and lost its special flavour too -

World Cups in Russia, Qatar and US are simply events to sportswash and all the vibes and carnival atmosphere has been completely stripped of the whole event for me -

Now with the actual football likely to be much more boring in the group stages due to the format change - I truly believe this event is no longer for the fans - or at least any attempt to try and make us believe it is, has gone out
Definetely.. plus the corruption with Blatter and Platini. And the absurd way Infantino behaves like some kind of pope figure in world politics. World cup in Qatar was a terrible case of sportswashing. The game was along with human rights put in the background for money and expanding the global world cup brand.
 
8% of the allocations for every match go to the participating member association to disburse so that’s 16% of the match tickets. Obviously, that doesn’t cap England fans at 8%. Presumably most individuals got their tickets directly from THIEFA.

Edited to add: each FA is treated equally. That might not seem a lot of tickets for England, a large population where the game is very popular and people can afford the cost of coming to the World Cup but it’s a fuck of a lot for some other countries.

It’s utter fucking bollocks for every country . Fifa with a little help from capitalism has royally fucked the whole tournament . It’s simply sped up the killing of the working people game

Fifa , a non profit making organisation bragging about making $6b profit at the Qatar games , predicting $13b for this one
