2026 World Cup (Official Thread)

Western hemisphere world cups tend to go that way.
This made me remember some kind of study they did in Germany about ten years ago relating to success factors in penalty shootouts, because they somehow realized (because they’re Germans :wink2:) that a vast majority of World Cup and UEFA championship league matches were decided on penalty kicks… and they wanted to understand what can be done to prepare better.

So I went back and looked… fwiw here’s the research: https://fis.dshs-koeln.de/en/public...eterminant-of-sport-performance-how-to-succe/

Interesting take… but I guess at some point everyone can learn how to out-German the Germans lol

Philadelphia ‘Poopgate’ scandal intensifies as Noah Kahan makes fans ‘solemnly swear’ not to soil themselves at his concerts​

"One of the most unreal concert experiences I’ve ever witnessed.”

Singer/songwriter Noah Kahan has had to issue an impassioned plea to his fans that if they feel the call of nature during one of his shows, they absolutely must head to the bathroom and do it there.

The unusual request comes in the wake of what’s been dubbed “Poopgate”. This refers to a disgusting situation at Kahan’s Philadelphia show, where The Independent reports that a fan near the front of the crowd allegedly defecated on the floor, then attempted to brush the evidence under a chair.

As reported by News.com.au, a horrified witness said:
“I guess they didn’t want to miss a couple of songs to use the bathroom so they just straight up s..t themselves. She started trying to waffle stomp the turds and acted like nothing happened but we flagged down security. One of the most unreal concert experiences I’ve ever witnessed.”

“You guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000-yard stare”​

Now Kahan has stepped in to urge his fans to maintain basic standards of decorum at his shows. On X he said:

“If you have to poop at a show, please dear god just go to the bathroom lmao I’ve pooped my pants as much as the next 29-year-old but you guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000-yard stare after dealing with that.”

Now, in front of hundreds of fans, he’s taken to the stage to make his fans take an oath that they will follow societal expectations of bathroom use. He made the crowd repeat after him:

“I solemnly swear I will not s–t my pants and if I do, I won’t take it from my pants and put it on the floor”
This appears to be a growing problem in concerts. After all, if you’ve paid a large amount of money for a ticket, why would you want to waste a single second queuing for a bathroom. The consequences were recently outlined by Olivia Rodrigo, who told KISS Radio (via Consequence): “I have been to certain concerts and certain festivals where people wear diapers so that they can be front row of the show, and that’s been an experience as a performer that I have… smelled.”

The fan that kicked off this stinky controversy has remained anonymous and has not commented.
