    It’s a conspiracy theory I’ve heard a couple times that they pair up all the strong teams and the winners typically get a favorable start. I literally couldn’t care less about the world Cup except to meme on it and FIFA though so what do I know. Maybe the corruption company that acts like the soccer Mafia is slightly less corrupt somehow.

      I didn’t get the theory. The world cup groups are defined in a televised draw. Are you saying that the draw is fixed?

        Yeah the organization that gave trump a FIFA peace prize to bribe him after he was snubbed by the Nobel Prize debacle would play fair… I don’t care whether they really do it or not (they probably do though) I just think memeing on them is funny
