Sickos Committee (Sickos F.C.) is doing a world up preview of all the teams by group.

It includes important facts like coach, basecamp location, oldest/youngest player, Team nicknames, and of course closest chain restaurant to basecamp.


Czechia is absolutely wild. They are staying in a Hilton near the Arlington Highlands that shares a parking lot with a Golden Corral.

https://sickos-newsletter.beehiiv.com/p/the-sickos-f-c-world-cup-preview-part-1

The writers at Sickos don't appreciate that West TX is a mere 60 miles south of their Mansfield training grounds. I'd love to see them tour the Czech Stop and Slovacek's

Eta: i wonder if the players and staff have an opinion on the most heated of food debates in TX- kolache versus klobasnek

We've all always known FIFA sucked, but it's like they've just started going out of their way to be generally awful.

If FIFA could charge for air being breathed while watching the match, FIFA would do it.
There is only one constant, one universal, it is the only real truth: causality. Action. Reaction. Cause and effect.

I looked at the regulations, and just about any receptacle you could potentially drink out of is banned, even paper or plastic cups with one exception.

You could bring an empty gallon size Ziploc bag, fill it up at a water fountain, and drink from that.




Oh and you can also bring/play just about any standard size harmonica (diatonic or chromatic) provided it doesn't interfere with experience of those around you. I'm actually surprised a team supporters have thought of this before. They certainly wouldn't be as loud as a vuvuzela but can you imagine the sound of 10K harmonicas just humming out random notes?


(Maybe this is one of those ideas that just doesn't need to be on the internet)

I have a friend in who is in BCS for the match on Saturday and wants to know where he could go watch the USA game earlier in the day. Is there a soccer watching spot in town?

Sweden
  • Base Camp: The Westin Dallas Stonebriar Golf Resort & Spa, Frisco, Texas and FC Dallas Stadium, Frisco, Texas
  • Closest chain restaurant to base camp: III Forks - Prime Steakhouse - I know it's not food but it is hilarious a Volvo dealership is within walking distance of the hotel.
  • National dish: They don't have a national dish but the most renowned Swedish culinary tradition is the smörgsbord. Also Swedish meatballs are good too.

There's an IKEA like 2 miles away too. What type of research are they doing??!!

Looks like FIFA is walking back the water bottle ban already. They'll spin this as some big caring move for the fans while people still cant afford to go to games

I like trying out the Adams, Mckennie, pulisic, tillman, balogun attack.
Not certain it will work, but would be good reps today

Is this a Chicago Fire player retirement plan?

I'm in several volunteer chats and soooo many people are getting their visas denied. They have done all their training l, booked accommodations and flights, and are just now finding their visas are not approved. FIFA is calling up people from the waitlist who can no longer volunteer or are facing a similar problem. Tons of volunteer shifts are still not covered. It's a real mess.
