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.

If I were the president of FIFA, after hearing these words, I would award Trump the Nobel Peace Prize uwu
Well if this is not the "deny reality" level, I do not know what it is
FIFA fucked itself hard by getting inline to lick boot. This World Cup was already looking like a disaster, wait until the first knife attacks start happening in line to those matches
knife attacks
That's not how we do things in the US. :-(
I just said that because it's the minimum common denominator of an attack... literally no way to stop it and, with large gatherings for the soccer matches, plenty of opportunity for atrocities before getting anywhere near the security lines
But you are correct, in the USA, anyone could have some assault rifle and simply mow people down
Welcome to play, might possibly get torpedoed by Hegseth on their way home. Who knows?
Felt cute, might war crime later.
The fact that Infantino believes Trump shows yet again just how stupid he (Infantino) is. I never thought FIFA could do worse than Sepp Blatter. Man was I wrong!
Stupid? No. Evil and sadistic? Yes, big time.
He doesn't care if trump is lying and throws the Iranian players into a concentration camp. He just wants to be able to tell them trump said it's ok.
Why should Trump's opinion matter the fact it does shows something.
Because they'll be in the US and subject to the little king's ICE secret police?
I thought we stopped doing world cups in 2018?
I boycotted the last two WCs. Sadly, I'm going to boycott this one as well.
