The Football/Soccer Thread

I was wondering why Ronaldo was rumoured to be at the White House for the past few days on Twitter. Just him. Now I know. MBS had a dinner there. He is the face of the Saudi diplomatic outreach.

Curacao qualifies for the World Cup. This is what happens when you have 3 countries automatically qualify as World Cup hosts and you admit 48 countries into group play. An island with 150,000 people will need to send 1/3 of their population to pack a stadium.

I thought Arne Slot got the sack according to a tweet...but no, just fake news. He'll have to live with the reality of going from Premier League champions to being beaten by Nottingham 0-3 at home.
 
Is it customary to have a draw before the teams are even known?
But anyway - so many minnows...the group stage is like a warm up for the stronger sides.
