It will be interesting when the USA and Venezuela football teams play each other in a "friendly" at Chase Stadium, Fort Lauderdale, on Sunday 18th January.
Venezuela? What’s up with that?
- Thread starter Ron in Regina
- Start date
Or when Iran and Egypt play each other in the World Cup Pride Match.
SeattleFWC26, the non-profit group organizing the World Cup events in the city, designated a June 26 match between Egypt and Iran as the “Pride Match.” The game roughly coincides with the start of Seattle’s annual Pride Parade. And so, the group has taken it upon itself to unofficially brand the sporting event with messages, and artwork, of LGBT inclusion.
Which match?
Dude. The LGBT thing you believe is just Hasbara.
Like this.... But different

Yep, but it’s still pretty funny. Anywho…President Trump bombed Venezuela and detained its president without informing Congress or the Senate, keeping a deadly secret with only high-ranking members of his Cabinet…so standard Trump operational whatever.

I reckon FIFA will cancel the match. It'll be too dangerous. There'll be riots. And not just inside the stadium. You know what football fans are like.
I actually thought the two countries are to play each other in this year's World Cup. I realised a couple of hours ago that they're not. Venezuela is the only South American country that has never played in a World Cup and it won't be participating on this year's one. The USA is playing Paraguay at the 2026 World Cup. Late at night and after a few years and seeing the 2026 World Cup draw for the first time I obviously got confused between Paraguay and Venezuela.
Somehow, I don't think the event will get the government of either country to start taking more interest in gay rights. Iran's female footballers play their matches wearing hijabs.
And Jamaicans have braids. What's your point?
The only difference between there are here? No loud mouthed flamers.
Oh, here we go!
