I’m unsure of peaceful cooperation for a thread to be completed in time. The most important thread, however, will be the world champions thread that boids has already done.

is there even a difference between the euros and the world cup at this point? we should do like the americans would have done and just call the winner of the euros "world champion"

UEFA is obviously the best confederation eu (even ingerlol is taking shots at conmebol, caf, concacaf) but we can't rule out those Brazilians rolling into the final and away with the big cup

UEFA has 14 bullets while Conmebol only has 5. The cup is coming to Conmebol anyway though.

If England somehow ship over France or Belgium it's going to be a travesty.

Somehow in every WC that I've watched (all since '86) it seems like that was more impressive going in won every single time. If it comes home, that streak is definitely going to end.

Sorry to everyone who my UEFA boys sent packing. Lasting the longest out of RoW is a fine achievement so congrats to the Brazilians.

To everyone else: UEFAs normal is your never
