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.

It's like the US intent is to be as unandearing as possible for this worldcup. They shot over the finishline after electing trump for a second time but you gotta hand it to them - they do a really good job in that area.
From being the shining star of liberty and democracy to a second tier wannabe dictatorship that seems to get a hard on by blocking certain people from entering to compete and work at the worldcup.... Bunch of clowns, seriously...
We didn't want it in Canada to begin with but why isn't he able to go to Canada or Mexico?
The landlords in Canada absolutely wanted it
One of the requirements to be Canadian is to hate Americans.
If only. Every Canadian politician treats sucking up to Americans like it's half their job. Canadian businessmen, like it's the entire job.
Only if they want to lose elections. Carney won off a platform of fuck the US.
Carney dodged a bullet when a much more popular Conservative party took a tumble in the face of US tariffs.
Now he's trying to placate a bunch of Trumpy Albertans on the on hand and tech sector landleeches on the other, which is roughly the place Biden found himself two years into his term.
Canadian politics is fully in the grip of the oligarchs - many of whom straddle the border.
Socialist groups need to organize to protect people.
I wonder how much of this is to skew betting on the World Cup?
CBP: "We saw Blackhawk Down, we can't let you into our country."
Boycott FIFA.
Should've been doing that after Qatar murdered a gay journalist.
I dont trust the autopsy one bit.
Read they turned away a lot of Irans team staff a few days ago as well. This World cups going to be awful imo extra breaks, half time shows etc.
I'll probably watch the England games and not much else.
Probably don't watch it at all.
It appears that the U.S. isn't just killing the American dream for Americans.
This is how the usa team wins the world cup. By banning players and referees from the usa. Just like the baseball world series, where nobody but usa teams play.
Just like the baseball world series, where nobody but usa teams play.
Technically the US Baseball Series includes Canada.
We wanted the host the World Cup so we could show the world there's only one true football. Murica!
