Ich rechne übrigens noch damit, dass im Vorfeld der WM 2026 der WM-Pokal von 36,8 cm Höhe auf über 40 cm angepasst wird, weil „the biggest sport event in history“ braucht natürlich einen Trump-like großen goldenen Pokal.

Zum Glück findet dort nächstes Jahr die WM 2026 statt, die alle soziale Missstände auflöst. Wie schon 1970 oder 1986 …

The fact that Infantino is praising Donald Trump as a great leader, sitting on a stage in Miami (of course) of an economic forum sponsored by PIF (of course) while being mute on the sexual harassment another host country’s President, Sheinbaum (🇲🇽), experienced this week, is quite telling.

Why is there another friendly between WC2030-host Morocco 🇲🇦 and Haiti 🇭🇹 today?
They both have played against each other just once before. Ever. In Morocco. In February. 1:1.

Only appropriate to visit Aarhus again for this.
And also to meet up with PtG-colleague @vitalykaz.bsky.social 👍🏼

If you look closely, there is a striking resemblance between Clutch, the bald eagle, and a certain bald individual in football…
FIFA has confirmed Clutch, Zayu, and Maple as the mascots for the 2026 men’s World Cup, with a bald eagle, a jaguar, and a moose representing the three co-hosting nations: The United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Viel interessanter als die Diskussion um #Linnemann ist, wovon sich gewählte Abgeordnete in aktuellen Diskussionen leiten lassen. Ob sie dabei wirklich die Interessen ihrer Bürger bspw. durch Briefe, E-Mails, Anrufe miteinbeziehen oder nicht mittlerweile nur Social Media (Fake) hinterherrennen.

Heute startete die erste Vorverkaufsphase zur FIFA-WM im nächsten Jahr. Bei diesem ganzen Wirrwarr um Dynamic (oder im FIFA-Sprech: „Variable“) Pricing und Co. kann man schnell durcheinander kommen. Deswegen haben Nina Golombek und ich ein kleines FAQ auf @spiegel.de gebastelt:
Ticketverkauf zur Fußball-WM 2026 startet: Was müssen Fans beachten und was ist Dynamic Pricing?
Wer zur Fußball-WM 2026 reisen möchte, kann sich ab Mittwoch für Tickets registrieren, benötigt aber vorerst eine spezielle Kreditkarte. Und feste Preise gibt es nicht. Die wichtigsten Antworten.
