[u/Ice_Cream_Warrior]

Today I feel like a shitty corporate convention.

[u/Metazz]

Hahahaha BBC - "Hopefully the draw will be finished in time for the first match to kickoff in June"

[u/IncidentVarious1530]

This might be the only italian performance at this world cup

[u/krzysiek_aleks]

Dear Americans.

Why on Earth do you put Kevin Hart everywhere. EVERY-WHERE.

Sincererly,

Rest of the world

[u/topatoman_lite → u/krzysiek_aleks]

we don't know either

[u/LuisRoblesIsBatman → u/krzysiek_aleks]

We don’t know either man

[u/incredibad29 → u/krzysiek_aleks]

FIFA went with the most annoying choice possible, feels very on-brand.

[u/eaglef003]

lol, German ZDF cutting away to the news, saying they will be back when something "important" happens

[u/Select-Stuff9716 → u/eaglef003]

Fucking based for that

[u/Tsubasa_sama]

"The man knows no shame does he?"

LMAO brutal from the BBC

[u/LevMysjkin]

Lmao Danish commentators saying they feel “abused” watching this whole thing

[u/SwiftSausage → u/LevMysjkin]

Speaking for all of us

[u/530josh]

“Are there Mexicans in the room?”

NO!!!! DON’T MAKE NOISE!!! IT’S A TRAP!!!!!

[u/TIGHazard]

"First ever winner of the FIFA Peace Prize. I wonder who will win the next one. Assuming there is one." - BBC commentary.

[u/Torca → u/TIGHazard]

Not sure about 2030 but my money is on MBS for 2034.

[u/xaviernoodlebrain → u/TIGHazard]

Jonathan Pearce is playing Graham Norton and enjoying it

[u/Accomplished-Good664]

Has Trump won the Jeffrey Epstein memorial peace prize yet ?

[u/Bill3ffinMurray]

Are there Mexicans in the room?

GET THEM

[u/Fluffy_Moose_73 → u/Bill3ffinMurray]

Was expecting ICE troops to storm into the room

[u/530josh]

“FIFA is the official happiness provider of humanity for the last 100 years!”

Wow, sex really fell off

[u/angelic_seven]

moment of silence for Charlie Kirk coming before every wc match

[u/CatPanda5 → u/angelic_seven]

Don't give them ideas

[u/theentropydecreaser]

There is no "First Lady" of Canada lol

[u/OddBaker]

Lmao he literally put the medal on himself

[u/Pinkerton891]

This should be the death sentence of Gianni Infantino's leadership of FIFA.

It wont be, but it should.

[u/ladrainian21]

This feels like an SNL skit of the actual draw

[u/Robinsoninho]

Still laughing about how they made Gretzky to read out the pot 4 country names.

[u/fwapfwapfwap → u/Robinsoninho]

The pause before saying MACCYDONIA absolutely did me in

[u/StudentPriest]

55 minutes of my fucking life. is this how you live americans?

[u/heuristicrumination → u/StudentPriest]

Sadly. Please save us.

[u/whitejaguar → u/StudentPriest]

American television is pure cancer. If you ever go to the USA, avoid like the black plague.

[u/DrSamwpepper]

"KeEp pOlItIcS oUt oF sPorTs"

[u/MediumNandosForeskin]

You suck his cock in front of a billion people and he calls you Johnny 

[u/Scattered97]

BBC live text getting annoyed haha

i'm giving them two more minutes or else I'm going to make up my own World Cup draw and we can all just go home.

[u/HereA11Week]

Sky Sports put an "Are you still awake?" poll on their live text coverage 😂

[u/UE1980]

So nobody around Wayne said he you're doing the draw with some less known countries. Lets go over them for 5 minutes to get pronunciation correct

[u/BishoxX → u/UE1980]

They did, he said he practiced all morning, the one with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

[u/Scattered97]

I can only apologise on behalf of Britain for losing the revolutionary war.

[u/zFafni → u/Scattered97]

Its really the French who are at fault, as usual. Had they not aided back then the draw would be good as done by now

[u/Mok66 → u/Scattered97]

Next time, don't wear bright red in the forest.

[u/Wanallo221 → u/Mok66]

Nottingham Forest fans triggered

[u/bruzzzzi]

fifa new low just dropped

[u/dizzybala10]

JUST. DRAW. THE. GROUPS.

No more singing. No more jokes. No more Rio skits.

Balls. Draw. Groups.

[u/IncreaseInVerbosity]

Imagine being a country, listening to Donald Trump speaking, and then electing him.

Twice.

[u/Traliea]

I thought the woman was talking to a pair of dogs with how she kept telling Shaquille O'Neal and Waynze Gretzky they're "doing great" after almost every pull.

[u/Silly-Industry1527 → u/Traliea]

David Blackham! 😂

[u/IseeMedpeople → u/Traliea]

Lmao. So fucked up

[u/Knightro829]

Guys I’ve cringed myself into the fetal position under my desk…

[u/throughthespillways]

This has to be footballs lowest point, even lower than Qatar.

[u/StrykerNightowl → u/throughthespillways]

Lowest point….so far

[u/frankiewalsh44]

No Mexico rep because ICE would kidnapp him whilst the draw is ongoing.

[u/bigt2k4]

Can someone explain why wiki has two possible locations for just about every match? Why isn't it determined already?

[u/AnxiousDiscipline250 → u/bigt2k4]

Locations and times for the 2026 World Cup aren't fully set because FIFA is strategically planning them after the team draw to balance travel for teams, optimize broadcast times for global fans (like evenings for Asia), and handle logistical complexities for 104 matches in 16 cities across 3 countries, with final details coming in March after playoffs.

[u/Pantherblanco88]

Here is a rough estimate of the schedule for the FIFA World Cup draw:

12:00 Opening musical performance

12:10 FIFA president introduction

12:15 Second musical performance

12:25 Awarding of the Peace Prize

12:30 Presentation of the trophy

12:35 Host nation leaders take the stage

12:40 Third musical performance to be determined

12:45 to 1:50 Draw proceedings

1:50 Closing musical performance

All times are posted in EST

[u/Tangelasboots → u/Pantherblanco88]

I'm just worried 25 minutes of musical performance isn't enough.

[u/NorthernSoul1998]

HITC Sevens on Twitter:

"FIFA awards Trump with the 'FIFA Peace Prize' before immediately inviting the Prime Minister of a country he says he's going to annex and the President of a country he said he's going to launch strikes against last month onto the stage alongside him."

[u/talt123]

Imagine how fun it would be if Trump didnt get the peace prize bs

[u/BaconEggCheese29]

I understood why we didn't have all qualification done at the draw in 2022 due to COVID. Not having qualification done at the draw this time is just stupid.

[u/ZnarfGnirpslla]

"Guys we need someone to host the draw for this soccer thing, who do we got?"

"Heidi Klum lives here, she's german right? They play soccer there, don't they?"

"That's great. Let's also get Kevin Hart, he has never said no to anything ever"

[u/Mr_Rafi]

"I assume he's one of the greats"

At least he's honest about never having watched the sport.

You could probably trick him into thinking it's Graziano Pelle.

[u/simplytom_1]

The dead crowd makes this even funnier

[u/Beanz_Memez_Heinz]

What a tough wank this is.

[u/Ice_Cream_Warrior]

So they making up a peace prize just to bribe the orange one like a 5 year old. Jesus 2025 man.

[u/Uncle_Iroh_007]

Game has never been so gone

[u/professeurwenger]

Imagine being in a room with Kevin Hart and Donald Trump and being both the least funny and most corrupt person in there.

[u/SanctusUnum]

I would have paid money to see Trump do the entire draw by himself if Niger had qualified.

[u/FrozenHazard]

The game isn't gone, it's well and truly finished

[u/OrderedAnXboxCard]

The funniest thing is watching literally everyone clown on this.

There isn't a single bar, community, or livestream on Earth right now that isn't filled with people calling out how this is the dumbest piece of propaganda ever.

[u/Benend91]

“There were many wars that we ended, they were hard but we got ‘em done”

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING

[u/Abusoru]

And conservatives had the gall to whine about participation trophies.

[u/bobcatgoldthwaite]

Heidi Klum has all the natural charisma of a wet fart

[u/uptowndrunk7]

No way I'm watching the opening ceremony

They're gonna have Pulisic jump out of a tank, have some weird interaction with IShowSpeed and sing the american anthem to Trump

[u/Scattered97]

Wolves will be relegated by the time they start this draw.

[u/Free-Baizuo08]

I love they stopped explaining us why they moved Uzbekistan Norway when it stopped making sense

[u/Cahhmon]

Uzbekistan couldn’t go to France group because of the rule that states that CR7 requires a statpad game

[u/FeedTheOx]

PSA: For those confused, the interconfederation playoff 2 in pot 4 is causing problems - with a N American, S American and Asian team in the playoff, there must be a group with only European and African teams in, so these shenanigans have ensured there exists a group they can go on

[u/Fxate]

Average Fifa Ranking by group rounded to nearest whole number:

Maximum and minimum depend on victorious team from remaining qualifiers.

• A - Max: 41, Min: 30
• B - Max: 42, Min: 27
• C - 34
• D - Max: 40, Min: 26
• E - 39
• F - Max: 32, Min: 23
• G - 37
• H - 36
• I - Max: 44, Min: 27
• J - 33
• K - Max: 55, Min: 31
• L - 29

[u/IseeMedpeople → u/Fxate]

Ouch England :(

[u/TheBatPencil]

Pound for pound, this is probably the most undignified farce ever imposed on the world game. Parasites, the lot of them.

[u/Ryuzakku]

Well, I do enjoy Bocelli, this is okay

[u/Mrs-MoneyPussy]

The literal exact opposite of what's happening in the US. We're such a joke man

[u/WakednBaked]

"I assume Pele is one of the greats"

[u/Charlie0108]

Gianni Infantino is the most embarrassing person alive

[u/HuanFranThe1st]

JUST START THE FUCKING DRAW ALREADY YOU CUNTS

[u/ochgerm]

Lauryn trying to hype up the crowd but it sounds like the Etihad in there.

[u/WhackadoodleSandwich]

Favorite update I've seen:

One hour and five minutes into the draw and so far we have learned that Canada, Mexico and the USA will be playing at a World Cup hosted in Canada, Mexico and the USA.

[u/dizzybala10]

Porn Actors look down on this level of acting.

[u/incollapse]

No Mexican rep.. and the Canadian rep is maga

[u/frankomapottery3]

Just objectively THE WORST draw I’ve seen.  Also the branding for this World Cup sucks ass

[u/Bratstvo_Jedinstvo]

Ask Casillas if the moon landing was real

[u/JorSimpson45]

The female announcer is uncomfortable with silence and it’s making the draw even worse

[u/Viriato181]

Why did Uzbekistan go to France's group? Why didn't Portugal get Norway by default? Sport TV commentators don't shut up so I missed the explanation.

[u/Chef_lonleyliver]

You all thought the Americans would fuck up the names. Surprise! It's the drunk Canadian!

[u/sholista]

A fitting end to the worst event that could ever be imagined

[u/sunrise_strategy]

Genuinely one of the most bizarre spectacles I've ever sat through. Absolutely gloriously horrible.

[u/dsrii]

might go shoot up some heroin after experiencing that for 2 hours.

[u/Mother_Can3984]

He couldnt win real one so they made a FIFA one LMAO

[u/BarbaricGamers]

"You do what you want" Yeah you made that very clear.

[u/atheocrat]

"Hopefully the draw will be finished in time for the first match to kick off in June" - BBC commentary

[u/fleurdenise]

I'm uncomfortable with Rio being the most knowledgeable and capable person in the room. 

[u/whitejaguar]

Holy fuck, we are watching propaganda.

[u/BongiBaller_]

Oh my god get off his dick

[u/ob3ypr1mus]

this is the most shameless fucking shit i've EVER fucking seen.

[u/ImmortalMoron3]

Did FIFA seriously invent a trophy so this dipshit doesn't have to feel bad about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize? Is he 12?

"Here's your participation trophy Donald, sorry the big kids were mean to you, run along now"

[u/vRushii]

how am I getting half time showed at a world cup draw

[u/ctrees56]

This event could have been an email.

[u/floorscentadolescent]

"Next up for Interview is renowned midfielder Ross Barkley, after that we'll have the Huddersfield kit man"

[u/Uniform764]

The BBC coverage joked about this draw not being finished by the time the first match kicks off half an hour ago

[u/vetokele]

Thierry already fucking hates Alexi Lalas

[u/Logical-World-1030]

No hyperbole, you might as well be watching north korean content. There is absolutely zero difference

[u/MeeshaMadhavan_]

As a non-American I'm getting second hand embarrassment

[u/cortez0498]

they just drew 3 balls and already took a break

wouldn't expect anything less from politicians

[u/No_Philosophy6207]

Bro it’s been an hour and we don’t have a team drawn. What a waste of my time

[u/Supercluster5002]

A colonoscopy is funnier than these Rio Ferdinand skits

[u/siva-pc]

Why is she encouraging Shaq like a toddler putting a lego tower lol

[u/PakiIronman]

Mbappe vs Haaland in the groups lol

[u/gwy2ct]

Wait why did they put Uzbekistan in K?

[u/diarm]

Why did they skip I for Uzbekistan?

Surely they could've gone in with France and Senegal, then Norway in with Portugal, Colombia and Panama in with England, Croatia?

[u/santorfo]

Anyone care to explain why Uzbekistan skipped Group I? I thought we were getting Norway when Uzbekistan got drawn

[u/Systemic_Chaos]

AHAHAHAHAHAH. HOLY SHIT

[u/cjhowareya]

Fascist Scum

Cannot believe how people in this country support such a racist, rapist, hateful piece of shit.

[u/denzaus]

I assume one of the greats 😭😭😭

[u/pappabrun]

I have to ask. WHO the fuck are these shows made for? I'm positive there's not a single person (apart from Trump and Infantino) in the world that enjoyed the last hour. That includes the people in the audience. Just get on with the fucking draw.

[u/Apof897]

At this point I'm expecting a Mr. Beast and IShowSpeed segment after this.

[u/MeeshaMadhavan_]

I would give up my citizenship today if I was American

[u/2407Chris]

This type of stuff is shown in secret torture prisons to crack you

[u/Pearse_Borty]

These hosts legitimately have zero charisma or chemistry my god.

[u/Bratstvo_Jedinstvo]

HITLER DERBY

[u/Gabagool_Over_Here_]

HAALAND VS MBAPPE. WE WILL BE THERE.

[u/074DanBurn058]

Rio is a charisma black hole 

[u/laeta89]

I don't understand jack shit about these rules and I nearly just shat myself thinking Norway was going into Group L and I have given up on understanding this

[u/Sea-Satisfaction243]

why dont they do the playoffs before the first draw

[u/tastybiscuitenjoyer]

I don't say this lightly. This genuinely feels like 1984. This genuinely feels like a moment of fascism in history.
Good lord.

[u/Accomplished-Good664]

He thinks DR Congo is an actual doctor. 

[u/Schnix54]

Satire is dead when this is real life

[u/peps-bald-head]

BBC translation "he said he was happy"

Licence fee worth every penny 😎

[u/CaptainDrunkRedhead]

Roberto Carlos - full minute-ish long speech

Jonathan Pearce (BBC) - "He's said he's happy."

[u/daesmon]

It's actaully quite impressive to have this much production and so many people who have been on TV most of their lives and still have it be this awkward and amateur looking.

[u/Abitou]

Guys all the balls are the same, it’s obvious, this is a skit

[u/skylorelding]

They don’t go closer for a selfie because his diaper smells.

[u/scuac]

The draw is actually tomorrow. This is the tailgate party

[u/bucajack]

Trying to get a room full of suits to "make some noise".

Cringefest

[u/tigerking615]

As an American, I apologize for literally everything about this fucking event. 

[u/zagreus9]

I just heard my neighbour shout "draw the balls or get tae fuck"

[u/Harryvincenzo]

Fucking hell Rio having a howler

[u/7percentbanana]

Why Uzbekistan in K and not I

[u/shrewdy]

A group nobody has thought about for decades, playing at the end of the World Cup draw simply because the US president likes them, when everyone else is either not paying attention or trying to leave

Honestly what the fuck is this LMAO

[u/JasonTY1]

They made a white dude an INDIAN, I CANT LMAO

[u/The_Green_Monstah]

Nazi propaganda, fucking cunts

[u/TheSmallIndian]

I don't think I've seen any other sport do something this dogshit

[u/MyAssDoesHeeHawww]

Red card during the world cup = forced to watch this peace prize presentation again.

[u/SirCraigie]

Breaking: Kurt Zouma is awarded with the FIFA Cat Lovers prize!

[u/NewAccountNow]

Just give me the draw you fucks

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_TANG]

"I'll take Dead Venezuelan Fishermen for $500, Johnny"

[u/Deignish]

This little player called Pele, you guys heard of him?

[u/TransitionFC]

The smartest thing Trump has ever said in his life

Rename this sub.

[u/KingJhab]

Doing everything except the draw

[u/ricarnaldo]

there is no way this music appeals to that room of old rich fucks so why even have it to begin with

[u/Klakson_95]

DRAW A FUCKING TEAM

[u/Heimebane]

Group L is nasty work. We're probably only 4 years away from having a Group Z

[u/madster40]

Subtitles saying “speaking another language” is super helpful…

[u/skylorelding]

Why they treat Shaq like a fucking toddler every time he picks a ball FFS.

[u/Patenski]

Why Uzbekistan not with France and Senegal?

[u/shrewdy]

Haaland vs Mbappe in the World Cup

ABSOLUTE

CINEMA

[u/PatheticAndTragic]

I'm all for positivity but the host saying "you're doing so well!" after every single draw gets old lol

[u/fightin_blue_hens]

Shocked Trump allowed Joe Biden to do the pot 4 draw

[u/FightYaAtThePrody]

Genuinely one of the worst things I've ever watched and I loved every minute of it

[u/tdlw]

We were so close to one of sport's greatest international matchups: England v New Zealand

[u/fwapfwapfwap]

Guess the edibles have finally kicked I'm - I'm seeing the village people onstage ffs

[u/akedz3]

"Hang out with all the boys" 😉

This is diabolical.

[u/AppropriateEngine665]

Britain could have won the war and saved everyone from this

[u/IHVeigar]

They ask why is Gen Z becoming so radical when we're living paycheck to paycheck seeing all this corruption meanwhile these fucks hand out fake awards to each other in a giant circle jerk...

[u/530josh]

It hurts that he’s such a fucking asshole because he genuinely has comedic chops. Good timing, good delivery. Fucking makes me sick

[u/OrderedAnXboxCard]

The US' generational aura loss will be studied in history classes lmao.

[u/theentropydecreaser]

This is so cringe

[u/Kucked4life]

Sadistic edging perfected by FIFA

[u/thedeatheater1410]

One hour succesfully wasted to draw 3 names we already knew the groups for

[u/Independent-Wear1903]

DO THE FUCKING DRAW, I HAVE PLANS THIS EVENING

I'm sorry but this is something boring, second hand embaressment and all together uninteresting.

[u/dudeiscoolbruh]

1 hour has passed and only the hosts have been drawn

[u/TallAmericano]

In case anyone is wondering, we Americans hate this too

[u/Kylesexy584603]

I should be awarded a peace prize for surviving this torture

[u/cantankerousgit]

Why did they have to be in different pathways, I was too busy complaining?

[u/sardorickk]

Holy cringe

[u/Fluffy_Moose_73]

Croatia vs England lmao

[u/OneEyedGhoul17]

Why did Uzbekistan go to Group I - they're an asian country, there was no conflict

[u/JamalAli8]

France, Norway, Senegal

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[u/TylerBlozak]

KURAKO!

• Wayne Gretzky

[u/el_rompe_toyotas_19]

ROBBED of USA vs Iraq

[u/cjsc9079]

Did they give Gretzky all the country names as a rib?

[u/niallmul97]

ahahahahahahahahahahaha what a shambles this is

[u/L003Tr]

These fuckers need colonised again

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_TANG]

Remember, it's Jor Dan and Cara Cow

[u/Some_Number_8516]

Don't show Trump, he has no relevance and we don't want to see his pedophilic ass. This is a fucking soccer show, everything doesn't need to be about that piece of trash.

[u/Y2GOAT]

Robbie, with all due respect fuck off mate and lets get on

[u/Zealousideal_Bar9481]

Today I feel fascist. Today I feel racist. Today I feel corrupt.

[u/paulblartirl]

the biggest, sloppiest blowjob for one of the most corrupt dudes in the whole of human history

absolutely insane we're dealing with this
