@jlpiraux@wallonie-bruxelles.socialWe call on FIFA and UEFA to immediately suspend Israel from all international football competitions until it ends its war crimes and mass atrocities in Palestine and fully complies with international law.
Football is about respect, solidarity, and fairness. Not sports-washing genocide.

@yaya@jorts.horseon the minus side I have to be awake at 10am to let some guy in to install smoke detectors
on the plus side this means I will be awake to root for Israel's demise against Norway in world cup qualis

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialHmmm, this would seem to run afoul of the Constitution's ArtI.S10.C1.6.1 Contract Clause - except that that part of our Constitution applies only to States.
Personally, I do not understand why any international body would schedule events - like the World Cup or the Olympics - in the US.

@mlawton@mstdn.socialFinished my time-shifted watch of the #USMNT vs Japan from last night. Some thoughts:
I liked the formation change to try a 3-4-3 / 3-5-1 in and ou of possession. The idea of wingbacks is compelling for the talent available. Arfsten & Freeman did well, particularly Arfsten. He should make the World Cup roster, backing up Jedi. Having Ream & Richards paired is winning. Blackmon was good …
@paulbusch@mstdn.caOn December 5th of this year, another farce will be played out at the #WorldCup2026 draw in Washington DC.
Background:
- #FIFA has been facing criticism over holding the World Cup in the USA because Trump's Gestapo/ICE troops are terrorizing any non-white individuals. How many fans will be comfortable traveling to that environment?
- Trump has been threatening to move World Cup matches from any city that doesn't bend the knee to him. FIFA is politely telling the White House that matches can't be moved at this point, and please stop the rhetoric because it only makes teams and fans nervous.
- Yesterday, FIFA announced a new "Peace Prize" that will be awarded on December 5th.
The FIFA Peace Prize is, IMO, a bribe or suck-up strategy to influence Trump, who is obviously still hurt over his missed Nobel Peace Prize. Once it's awarded to Trump - very, very likely - it further cements FIFA's reputation as a trash organization.

Celebrating labour (today was the workers' holiday in North America).
Swimming (or rather dunking myself ever so briefly) in a very cold (oh so cold) Lake Ontario along with Kid2 on the last day of summer vacation.
Watching the Women's Rugby World Cup with the family (Go Canada Go! Allez les Bleues!).
@jerome@jasette.facil.services @mlawton@mstdn.socialNot sure that anything was learned today. Any optimism left from the last World Cup has long since evaporated. I’m not too worried about losing friendlies, but the continued personnel questions and lack of cohesion is disappointing.
