So can Canada counter sue with all the CO2, NOx etc drifting north from the 2nd worst country for pollution on the planet?

Wait is the USA ranked 2nd worst polluter on the planet?

Apologies I don't know if this is behind a pay wall https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/21/us/politics/trump-saudi-nuclear-deal.html

BBC link if pay wall is an issue.

Just what the Middle East needs right now. More nuclear tension. Hard to tell Iran they can't have a nuclear program, but Saudi can.

Did you read the thread?

Tell me about it. Look what happened when we left the USA to it's own devices.

Ya'll on Fentanyl with guns.

Fentanyl and guns is like strawberries and cream. Throw in a bit of Christian fundamentalism and you’ve got yourself one hell of a party.

Is Chi-ran going to host any games?

 

[ChicagoKid]

Is Chi-ran going to host any games?

Yes, almost guaranteed. The Chicago Bears are building a new indoor stadium that should be completed by 2030. It will likely reset the bar for stadiums globally, considering the approximately $4-5 billion price tag.

If Chiran and Shitsburgh host games I’ll probably go as long as I’m shielded from the riff raff

Here is my prediction for host cities. RWC already confirmed they are looking at 12-14 total cities.

LA
Seattle
San Fran
Chicago
Denver
Nashville
Boston
New York
DC
Atlanta
Miami
Houston

I would like to explore Washington State, less so Seattle but would obviously like a to have look. The rest of those cities/states are less appealing to me

Very curious to see what ticket prices & packages go for. I could individual knockout tickets going for something outrageous.

It’s a big commitment not just financially but also time wise. In all likelihood, I doubt I’ll get the required amount of time off work

Name the last world cup that had the reaction of the current one.

 

[dirty harry]

Name the last world cup that had the reaction of the current one.

What do you mean reaction?

I think its fair to say every world cup has been corrupt, had negative reactions pre and post tournament...

At least there werent the dead enslaved bodies built into US stadiums... i hope.

I'm sure you can work out what I mean by a reaction. You've followed the news?

Oh so are we discussing corruption or outcry?

Werent the last 2 wirld cups marred woth corruption though?

The outcry was because of the corruption. Again, have you followed the news on this or not?

You're either going to discuss this in good faith or you aren't.

Your the one not answering questions, you understand with Tru.p putcry doesnt equal guilt, its been proved to you over and over.

If your going to cry bad faith at least answer 1 of the last 4 questions!

What do you mean specifically by 'reaction'?

Has there been a world cup that didnt include some sort of FIFA corruption?

Werent the last 2 world cups officially corrupt?
