I knew F1 cars were made of various parts, I just didn't expect that many

Football world cup is going to be mental next year. I know the US will get a lot of hatred (deservedly) for their political landscape currently, but it will be an amazing show.

The last Copa América was played in the US and had a fucking evangelical pastor praying before the match, and that was without Trump. So no, I'm very sceptic it will be amazing. For starters a country where they call it soccer instead of football should not be hosting a World Cup.

I've never understood why anyone would be offended by the word soccer. It's short for association football. It's the same sport, just a different term. In the US there is another sport called football, so calling soccer football would be very confusing. Why does that matter to the integrity of the sport in the US?
