Pre-match: 2026 FIFA World Cup Draw - December 5, 2025 - 12 PM EDT

Muting Robbie Williams because it is my patriotic duty not to know who this person is.

 

this is the worst thing i've ever seen

 

Doesn't seem like they had much of a rehearsal for this.

 

From looking at Infantino's profile at least, I think they start in studying sports administration and from there it's probably like most slimy manager/CEOs types, all about playing the extroverts game and kissing ass all the way to the top, which means getting more and more corrupt each step up the ladder.

 

The stage lighting is terrible.

 

Someone should let the Kennedy Center board know.

 

BARF, all of this.

 

Keep the politics out of the thread, please.

 

It's rumored that kevin hart is on the stage somewhere, i can't see him.

 

Why? This is a nakedly political event.

 

That prize looks ugly af

 

Thankfully not heard <I give my obeisance before "mute">.

 

I just want the draw and hope they get on with it soon.

 

This is hilariously bad from FIFA

 

It's not politics, it's bribery. It's kinda genius, but it is gross to watch.

 

did trump design that trophy himself?

 

Until the next one

 

MODERATORS, do your job and keep the politics out of this thread please.

 

We have a forum for that. We try to keep politics segregated there.

You should @ them

 

Welcome to FIFA.

 

Fifa made this a political event.

 

I was muted and did not hear who the other nominees for the peace prize were. Who were they? Were they at the venue?

 

Finally someone actually associated with the sport on stage

 

that was literally the best case, beyond my imagination. meaning really short.
