I'm not sure how you were convinced by them, their most recent friendlies weren't convincing at all. Which were proven right by then being eliminated at the group stage by not winning against a very unconvincing S. Korea
Given how lemmy.world is a bit of a mess right now, is it worth considering moving all the football communities, including this one, over to fanaticus.social? or even setting up our own lemmy.football instance before the season officially kicks off?
One problem with the fediverse is that people hear of a single website like lemmy.world and think that is where everything should be placed. It being .world also makes it sound like a top-level instance, which is the best place to put things.
