Your neighbor is trying to SET FIRE to your house??? That's crazy.

Sorta, he keeps setting fire to his own house and we have to decide if it's worth calling the fire brigade or not. Two months ago when I called them, the operator sighed and went 'Oh it's [this house], I assume?'

Everyone is going to play - a statistical analysis of FIFA World Cup formats and participation.

Throughout the history of the FIFA World Cup, the number of teams participating has gradually increased. In the first edition of the tournament, held in 1930, only 13 teams participated with no qualifiers held before the tounrament. Each country that played has been invited by FIFA. This number increased to 16 in the 1934 tournament, and then to 24 teams in the 1982 edition. Noticable outlier in the chart below is the 1950 tournament in Switzerland - 15 countries met the requirements to play with Japan unable to participate due to failing to fulfill their payment duty.

If you have watched the World Cup lately, there is a good chance that it has been played by 32 teams in eight groups of four teams each. This format has been in place since 1998, and the tournament has been held in different countries every four years. In total, 64 matches are played during the tournament, with the top two teams of each group advancing to the knockout stage.

In 2026, the Football World Cup is set to be expanded to 48 teams, with the tournament being hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This will be the first time in the tournament's history that three countries will co-host the event. The tournament is said to be played in three team groups, with a total of 80 matches being played. This format however is not formally approved as of now and FIFA are considering alternative approaches, one of them is dividing the teams into 12 groups of 4, and having the 8 best third-placed teams andvance alongside the top two teams from each group.

The "best third places advancing" wouldn't be a new approach in a World Cup. The 1982-1994 editions were played similarly to how UEFA Euros are played today - 24 teams in 6 groups with 12 teams advancing by being in the top 2 of their group and 4 best third placed team advancing alongside them.

Earlier competitions did not have a set-in-stone approach to deciding how group when two or more teams were tied on points. In the 1958 tournament hosted by Sweden two teams could play against one another in the group stage more than once (!). Three play-offs were played between teams that were tied on points.

Overall, the argument for expansion of the Football World Cup to 48 teams is that it will provide more opportunities for countries to participate in the tournament which may result in a larger and more exciting competition for fans around the world. One of the main criticisms of the expansioln is that it will result in a less competitive and less exciting tournament. With an additional 16 teams participating, there will be more matches and more teams advancing to the knockout stage. This could potentially lead to having to sit through 16 groups of 3 with weaker squads before finally getting to watch the latter stages of the tournament. Sceptics also mention that 3-team would group stage would require one team in each group to watch the other two teams play, instead of participating in a game themselves. In a 4-team group stage, all teams would have the opportunity to play and compete in every matchday, with the last two games being played simultaneously.

Daily Comic Journal: April 26, 2022: "I Will Avenge You, Father!"

I think I enjoyed this movie more than I’d thought I would. I didn’t expect it to be so “raw”. I especially liked how though it starred known actors, Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, Anya Taylor-Joy and Willem Dafoe they didn’t stand out as actors playing ancient people. They seemed natural. BTW, the joke of this comic, the narrator of  a Viking documentary, is taken from a Monty Python sketch which…

Les Pythons de la Fournaise - Mo chérie l'Amour

[crystaiskiess]

this was definitely merlin’s idea

this is my third year of drawing these idiots in halloween costumes it’s becoming something of a tradition now - 2022 // 2023

(ID UNDER THE CUT)

ID: Merlin and Arthur from BBC’s Merlin dressed in Halloween costumes. Merlin is dressed as Merlin from ‘the sword in the stone’ and Arthur is dressed as King Arthur from ‘monty python and the holy grail’. Arthur’s arm is slung over Merlin’s shoulder and he is pointing grumpily at someone with a speech bubble saying ‘not a word’ while Merlin is grinning goofily.
