#worldcup

Is #Trump putting the #WorldCup at risk? Thousands of not hundreds of thousands of fans will want to come watch their teams play, but if the #US is an unsafe country, they may not come. Or stay in #Canada or #Mexico. I guess empty US stadiums will be our #FAFO

You know what I just thought of, that's kind of hilarious? The #USA, #Mexico and #Canada are supposed to all co-host the #WorldCup together next year. Is that still sounding like a good idea?

[09:44] De doldwaze uren van Marijke Groenewoud op weg naar de geschiedenisboeken

Ja, Marijke Groenewoud deed afgelopen weekeinde mee aan World Cup 6 in Heerenveen, maar stiekem was dat bijzaak. ’Groningen’, dáár draaide het voor haar om. Zaterdagavond haastte ze zich vanuit Thialf daarnaartoe. In Groningen reed ze zichzelf de geschiedenisboeken in. Haar zestiende marathonoverwinning van het seizoen was een feit.

Will FIFA regret awarding the World Cup to the USA? If they don’t get this sorted, a lot of fans may not get there. Even worse, some teams may not be allowed into the country.

2026 World Cup: Visa backlog could keep teams and fans locked out of US https://www.cityam.com/2026-world-cup-visa-backlog-could-keep-teams-and-fans-locked-out-of-us/

Another completely unnecessary, 100% synthetic crisis... while we're dealing with actual, real natural disasters. Thanks #Trump... you moron.

Kids are alright. #FreePalestine #India #WorldCup

It’s been about a year since I showed up here and so it’s time for an updated #introduction.

Professionally, I’m a Director of #Engineering at a #startup called Project Admission building cool things in the ticketing/live event space.

I'm a #gamer, although I find myself playing less of them these days as I try to balance work, exploration, #travel, #digitalnomad, #diving, #reading, and many other things.

I'm currently living in #Mexico thriving on tacos and Modelo!

I'm a recent #football convert and tend to cheer on a few different national teams like #USA, #England, and #Mexico.

Things I will be talking about on this account.

#music, specifically #deathmetal and #blackmetal although I'm also a big fan of #trance and #edm.

#sports, specifically the #worldcup as well as the #nfl. I'm a lifelong #ChicagoBears fan so I'm used to a lot of weekly despair. I'm also a #hockey fan, but I don't watch much of it these days.

#tech, especially anything around #infosec, #php, #web #applications, #security, etc...

#videogames, currently playing #FinalFantasy15 but a huge fan of #jrpgs in general and really anything nostalgic.

#tv, specifically #realitytv as I'm a huge fan of shows like #survivor, #thechallenge, #amazingrace, etc... If someone can get voted out and go home, I probably watch it. Big fan of competition and artistic creation reality tv.

#diving. I'm a #PADI #divemaster who loves spending as much time underwater as possible!

I think that's pretty much me in a nutshell. I look forward to expanding who I'm following here!

Everybody is attacking the coach Eddie Jones but I think the blame lies higher up.

There have been systematic failures in the management of #Rugby Australia for years.

Love the drone chases through the woods at #UCI #DHI #worldcup.

The fallout from the Spanish football head kissing one of the World Cup players continues to roll 81 female footballers, including the entire winning team, refuse to play until he resigns and a sexual assault investigation is officially launched. What an ass. Just resign dude. You're creepy.
