FIFA: The World’s Biggest Competition Returns

The FIFA World Cup is officially underway

By Franchesca D.

Some of the best players in this year’s World Cup

Photo via FIFA

The 2022 FIFA World Cup began on November 20, 2022 in Qatar, and already holds the world’s rapt attention.

For those unfamiliar with the FIFA World Cup, it is the biggest tournament for international soccer held every four years. It is one of the most watched sports competitions around the world, with more than 3.5 billion viewers during the 2018 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup expected to reach an audience of 5 billion.

The FIFA World Cup Qualifiers is a lengthy process that occurs years before the final tournament. Each of FIFA’s six regional soccer confederations holds preliminary tournaments and qualifier matches. The six FIFA confederations are UEFA (Europe), CONMEBOL (South America), CONCACAF (North, Central America and the Caribbean), AFC (Asia plus Australia), CAF (Africa), and OFC (Oceania). Teams in each league play each other for points; a win is worth three points, a draw is worth one point and a loss is worth no points. The teams with the most points at the end of the qualifying period advance to the World Cup to represent their confederation. However, this means that not all confederations may be represented.

Now the World Cup. The teams are split into eight groups of four teams, with groups lettered A to H. Each group was created through a random draw out of four points in April, with teams placed in pots based on their FIFA world ranking. The top two teams of each group advance to the round of 16. The winner of each group plays the runner-up of the succeeding letter group until there are only 8 teams left. For example, the first seed of Group A would play the second seed of Group B. In the case where two teams are tied in points, the first-place team is the team with the highest point differential. The knockout rounds continue to the quarterfinals, where eight teams battle for a place as one of the four teams in the semi-finals. The top two teams from the semi-finals play against each other in the finals for the FIFA World Cup trophy and the title of FIFA World Champions.

There are many strong contenders in this year’s tournament, with Argentina, Brazil, Portugal, and the reigning champion France all having strong chances of winning. The top soccer players are also scheduled to make appearances with their respective teams, including stars like Kylian Mbappe (France), Lionel Messi (Argentina), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), and Neymar (Brazil) showcasing their skills. With this World Cup being the final tournament of beloved players like Ronaldo and Messi (and possibly Neymar), fans and players alike are tuning in to watch them play one last time.

The tournament so far has seen some shocking results, specifically Argentina’s 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia. Argentina was higher ranked and a team favoured to win the Cup; viewers expected an easy win against Saudi Arabia on November 22. However, when Saudi Arabia, a team expected to lose, won against Argentina and fan-favourite Messi, it became one of the biggest upsets in the tournament.

Canada has also created history. This is the first Canadian team to play in the World Cup since 1986 in Mexico and the second time Canada qualified for the World Cup in history. They played against Belgium and Croatia, with a 1-0 and 4-1 loss respectively. In their Croatia game, Canada made history as they scored their first goal in their World Cup history. Canada recently played against Morocco, hoping for a win, but lost 2-1. Unfortunately, Canada will not advance to the knockout round of 16.

The countries advancing to the round of 16 are Argentina, the USA, France, Poland, the Netherlands, Croatia, England, Senegal, Morocco, Japan, Spain, Portugal, Australia, Switzerland, South Korea, and Brazil. As of December 5th, Argentina, France, the Netherlands, Croatia and England are moving on to the quarter finals, eliminating Australia, the USA, Poland, Senegal, and Japan in the process.

Despite all that has already occurred, the FIFA World Cup is far from over, and fans from around the world are anticipatedly waiting and watching to see who comes out on top.

Sneed heads to the Music City

by: BenJarmin Munguia

It looks like Sneed is on the move after all.

On Friday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed has been traded to the Tennessee Titans for a 2025 third-round pick. Sneed was previously placed on a franchise tag.

Both teams will swap this year's 7th-round picks.

Both Kansas City and Tennssee could not work out a long-term deal, so pending physical, Sneed will sign a new contract.

With this trade, the Chiefs save $19 million in salary cap.

The two-time Super Bowl champion was a 2020 fourth-round draft pick for the Chiefs. During his four years with Kansas City, Sneed recorded ten interceptions, 6.5 sacks, and 40 pass defenses. He also didn't allow a touchdown pass all season until the divisional playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.

This is a perfect pick-up for the Titans, who made a splash in free agency by signing running back Tony Pollard, cornerback Chidobie Awuzie, center Lloyd Cushenberry, and wide receiver Calvin Ridley.

The Titans will have Sneed, Awuzie, and Joseph-Day on the same side of football for the defense. The Titans could be cooking something special after their moves in the offseason with new head coach Brian Callahan.

With this, the Titans look to improve this season after finishing 6-11, 4th place in the AFC South in the 2023 NFL season, and losing star running back Derrick Henry to the Baltimore Ravens during free agency.

Now Sneed gets to share his talents with Music City.

Ulsan Hyundai vs Ventforet Kofu in the AFC Champions League

In the electrifying realm of the AFC Champions League, where every match pulses with the heartbeat of fervent competition, Ulsan Hyundai and Ventforet Kofu stand poised to ignite the pitch with their prowess and determination.

Amidst the fervor of this continental clash, the rivalry between Korean and Japanese teams adds an extra layer of intensity, fueled by the historical and political tensions that simmer beneath the surface.

Ulsan Hyundai

Ulsan Hyundai emerges as a towering force, having dominated the K1 scene with an imperious display in the 2023 season. Their supremacy was unrivaled, leaving opponents trailing in their wake, a testament to their sheer class and relentless drive. Spearheading their attack is the prolific Joo Min-kyu, whose clinical finishing prowess propelled Ulsan to glory, netting an astounding 17 goals in their triumphant campaign.

Meanwhile, Ataru Esaka, the enigmatic Japanese striker, brings his talents to the fold, having made the transition from Urawa Red Diamonds to the vibrant shores of Ulsan. His presence adds a tantalizing dynamic to the encounter, as he squares off against familiar foes from his days in the J2 league.

On the touchline, the sage guidance of Ulsan's manager, Hong Myung-bo, casts a shadow of intrigue, his intimate knowledge of Japanese football gleaned from his storied playing days. Will his tactical acumen and wealth of experience be the key to unlocking victory for Ulsan?

Ventforet Kofu

Ventforet Kofu, meanwhile, finds themselves in a rare and exhilarating position, competing on the continental stage while navigating the tumultuous waters of their domestic second tier. Their journey to this stage, propelled by a triumph in the Emperors Cup, mirrors the remarkable exploits of teams like Wigan, who defied odds to grace the European stage despite domestic challenges.

Within their ranks, the seasoned veteran Peter Utaka stands tall, his age-defying prowess a testament to his enduring passion for the game. Yet, his quest for glory is met with fierce competition from the formidable Fabián González, adding a tantalizing subplot to Ventforet's attacking arsenal.

At the heart of their defense stands Masahiro Sekiguchi, a stalwart leader whose unwavering commitment embodies the spirit of Ventforet. His journey mirrors the club's aspirations, balancing the rigors of continental ambition with the relentless pursuit of promotion to J1.

As the stage is set for a clash of titans, Ulsan Hyundai and Ventforet Kofu embark on a journey fueled by ambition, legacy, and the unyielding pursuit of glory. In this symphony of skill and determination, only one will emerge victorious, etching their name into the annals of AFC Champions League history.

The pulsating drama of the first leg between Ulsan Hyundai and Ventforet Kofu unfolds amidst the electric atmosphere of Munsu Stadium in Ulsan, South Korea. Here, amidst a sea of passionate supporters, the stage is set for a spectacle of skill, strategy, and sheer determination. As the two sides engage in a battle for supremacy on the hallowed turf, every pass, tackle, and shot reverberates with the weight of anticipation. Yet, this is only the beginning of a gripping saga, as the teams will reconvene in Yamanashi next week for the concluding leg, where the stakes will be raised even higher, and the quest for victory will reach its climax.

Exes Gone Wild: Which Jilted Parties will have their Revenge on Wild Card Weekend?

Ah revenge games. The age old “I’ll show them they were wrong” narrative that makes football almost as good as a parlay with a full paycheck. This narrative becomes even juicier when it occurs in the playoffs. Not only can you deal an L to the team that dumped you, but you can ruin their season, their Super Bowl hopes, and a year’s worth of hard work in the process.

This year’s Wild Card Weekend contains not one, not two, not three, but you guessed it FOUR postseason revenge narratives. Today we’ll dive into each one of those, explore what makes them so damn compelling, and give our thoughts on who will prove they were the one that got away and who will prove to be complete losers that don’t deserve love at all.

Texans vs Browns

Despite the Houston Texans’ leadership shamelessly covering up Deshaun Watson’s rampant predatorial tendencies and rewarding him with a life changing contract while he sexually violated every masseuse he could find on Instagram, Watson just wasn’t all that appreciative and tried to force his way out of the organization via trade demand at the conclusion of the 2020 season.

The Texans dug their heels in determined to get what they viewed as commensurate value for a Quarterback of Watson’s caliber despite mounting civil lawsuits. Eventually, the Texans struck a deal that resulted in 3 First Round Picks for Houston and an unprecedented fully guaranteed $230 million for Watson. That deal largely shaped the current Texans which find themselves in the postseason after somehow striking gold on another Quarterback in the draft and enlisting hometown hero Demeco Ryans as their Head Coach.

This matchup would have been so much more tantalizing were Watson starting, but alas, he is done for the year once again as that trade continues to age horribly for Cleveland. Still, since enlisting the services of Joe Flacco, the Browns look like bonafide Super Bowl contenders and nobody (well besides every woman in America) wants to see Watson get a ring less than the Team he so publicly embarrassed. Having found something stable with a nice guy who has everything in front of him, Houston would love to give the middle finger to the scumbag who took them for all they were worth.

Who wins:

While we love CJ Stroud and think the future is extremely bright for the surprise AFC South Champion, the Browns have been winning IN SPITE of Deshaun Watson who is a shell of his former self. This team has never looked better since bringing Flacco out of Daddy Day Care, going 4-1 and scoring 28.6 PPG with him as the starter while boasting the league’s top Defense. The Texans will absolutely make noise in the years to come, but it’s hard to imagine they’re ready to take a team this complete down just yet.

Tyreek Hill vs the Chiefs

In his two years away from the Chiefs, Tyreek Hill has proven both why you trade your super star receiver and subsequently why you don’t trade your superstar receiver. Chiefs’ kingdom basically reached Civil War level division on this subject as they debated whether Mahomes could carry this team without a clear cut top wide receiver.

Despite the initial results of that experiment being mixed, the defending Super Bowl Champions undoubtedly feel they made the right decision and will find receivers who can catch eventually. On the other side Hill, who was just named First Team All Pro, has had an MVP caliber season netting 1,814 all purpose yards and 13 receiving touchdowns. The first time he saw his former Kansas City flame, he nervously fumbled and basically threw up all over himself whilst representing the greatest Country on Earth on foreign soil.

He’ll no doubt be looking to redeem himself in their next encounter with the type of performance that can fast-track him to the second ring of his career and the first in a teal and orange uniform.

Who wins:

With -21° wind chill temperature expected, it’s hard to imagine a team from Florida seriously competing in this game. Couple that in with the loss of two of their premier pass rushers and a Kansas City team that can run the piss out of the ball, play mean defense, and oh I don’t know, has Patrick Fucking Mahomes, and it becomes very hard to envision the Dolphins winning this game. The most likely outcome is Tyreek confirming the Chiefs we’re right to move on from him until they lose in the AFC Championship because they can’t pass the fucking ball.

Mike McCarthy vs the Green Bay Packers

As hilarious as it is to poke fun at Mike McCarthy’s complete lack of situational awareness in tight games, he did what the Packers’ new flame has yet to show he can do and brought Green Bay their last Lombardi. And while it’s easy to give Aaron Rodgers all the credit for that, Matt LaFleur had the 4 Time MVP/sworn enemy of Jimmy Kimmel PLUS Davante Adams and back-to-back 1 Seeds and still has yet to even make the big dance. Still, there’s a reason LaFleur was brought in and it had a lot to do with Rodgers’ constant questioning of McCarthy and the franchise being middle of the…..Pack towards the end of Big Mike’s tenure.

The most damning aspect of this transition was the Packers’ immediate ascension to the top of the NFC with three consecutive 13 win seasons. So how has McCarthy responded in his second go round as HC? With three consecutive 12 win seasons! That’s right both these coaches have reasons to puff their chests out and Sunday’s Wild Card matchup will undoubtedly be a nationally televised dick measuring contest.

The key difference here is Green Bay’s new beau is playing with house money. Rodgers and Davante are gone, half the Packers’ roster still carries fake IDs, and McCarthy is under more pressure than ever to deliver the goods at home with the best Cowboys’ team he’s had and coaches like Belichick and (most likely) Jim Harbaugh back on the dating scene. Green Bay has also had Dallas’ number as of late ESPECIALLY in the playoffs (just ask Dez). If he lets Green Bay’s new man come into his house and give his ex a night she’ll never forget right in front of him and all his fans, he’s as good as gone.

Who wins:

While it would undoubtedly be hilarious to watch another early Dallas collapse in the postseason in a game they should absolutely win, this feels like too tall of an order. The Packers have played well and will be a lot of fun to watch in the years to come, but this years’ Cowboys play too well at home (16 straight wins in Jerry World) and are too well rounded with All-Pros in all three phases, while the Packers’ are woefully inexperienced on this type of stage. It would take a cataclysmic meltdown for this upset to occur and while we won’t totally rule that out, our money is on the home team winning a game that is probably closer than it should be.

Jared Goff vs The Rams

Of all the exciting revenge narratives of Wild Card Weekend, Goff’s Detroit Lions vs Matthew Stafford’s Rams IN DETROIT is the Super Bowl of axes to grind. It’s not every day that number one overall picks are swapped, let alone face each other on their respective new teams in a do or die game. Matthew Stafford was basically the Tom Brady of disappointing his fanbase during his tenure as a Lion, going 0-3 in the playoffs with Detroit. He’ll look to keep that streak alive and ensure another playoff loss for Detroit this Sunday. He finally popped his cherry with the Rams who did things with him his former flame never would. To make things juicier, the Rams left Jared Goff, a Quarterback who had taken them to a Super Bowl, to be with Stafford.

When Goff was dumped, everyone assumed him falling into Detroit’s arms was a meaningless rebound that would flame out in no time. But lo and behold, this dynamic just works with Goff doing things for this Lions franchise that Stafford never could such as winning the NFC North for the first time in three decades. Still, as much as Goff has satisfied Detroit, Stafford gave the Rams the night of their life bringing them the Super Bowl Trophy that Goff never could.

Ignore the sportsmanship diatribe in the press conferences leading up to this one. Both these guys have something to prove and both will be looking to put on a show in this awkward AF reunion. Stafford will be looking to display the caliber of play that made him the home team’s top pick in 2009 and further demonstrate what could have been with a better supporting cast. Goff will be looking to show McVay he was wrong to give up on him and that they still could have won it all together if they’d just stayed the course. Campbell will be looking to show Stafford how different things could have been under his leadership and that he never had to leave to be successful. In the end, both these squads have flourished despite the stir this move created. But only one is going to move onto the divisional round while the other takes a very personal loss and an agonizing blow to their ego.

Who wins:

As feel good as the Lions’ story has been this year, this one just feels like the jocks are going to come in and rain on Detroit’s parade all over again. Sam LaPorta, who’s been a revelation, fucked up his knee and the Rams finished the year as one of the hottest teams in Football. Couple that with LA’s postseason success (7-3 with two Super Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl Championship under McVay) and Detroit making their first foray in the playoffs behind Goff and Dan Campbell, and it seems more likely that the Rams bite off the Lions’ kneecaps while Stafford rips Detroit’s heart out one more time.

Lol one Ronaldo hater on Twitter was like “Bet you can’t name five Saudi teams without Google “ and I was like, Boy I can name ten of them plus the teams of his AFC group. Do you want to know the actual standings too? cause I know more about it than the actual French league.

MBS knew what he was doing when he gave that money to CR7. If someone had told me a year ago I would develop an irrational hatred of Al-Hilal, a Wikipedia-level understanding of the AFC champions league, and know the name of some of the Saudi NT, I would be like : “ The Maroc is getting boosted up like South Korea in 2002 and they are meeting Portugal! We are so screwed. What is an Al Hilal anyway ?”
