48 teams will compete for the 2026 @FIFAWorldCup
How many of them have issued world cup stamps in the past?
Reply and send an image please.
I'll start: Brazil
- cover displays an image of the Brazilian football team 1962
- stamp issued in 2014
- they play in Group C

1934 Italy – the first @FIFAWorldCup commemorative #stamp set.
Mussolini treated the World Cup as a state prestige project. Stadiums were renovated, new ones were built, and every host city became a showcase city. The stadium in Turin was even named after the dictator himself.

Has anyone compiled a list of stamps commemorating the @FIFAWorldCup yet?
Is there a special collectors' album to place them in?

I'm not pro-Iran but is the #trump administration
going to wreck the the @FIFAWorldCup as a global sporting event?
Is this mistreatment of opposition players?
Thoughts?

Very poor from @RTE
- no 'live coverage' for @leinsterrugby v @THESTORMERS
- scant coverage via 'live text'
* zero texts in the last 10 minutes
* neglected to even mention the winning try
* this is simply not good enough
* get someone who cares @RTEsport

One of the best Irish #rugby players ever!
#FergusSlattery could play anywhere.
Here he is covering as scrumhalf in a ruck on the left wing; quick ball to the flyhalf and then has enough speed to finish off the move on the right wing!
#RIP #Slatts

Dear @bankofireland @AIBIreland and @PTSBIreland,
could I please have a debit card that replicates the charges of online scammers and transfers the same amount from THEIR account into mine?
- no refunds
- no appeals
- let's beat the scammers at their own game

Can't beat that epic flying experience over to the Aran Islands... It's like having your own private plane (for a few minutes)! 🛩️ 😎

AND
an opportunity to 'stick one up'
to the snooty English elite clubs in European competitions

Iceland, in 2010, proposed the idea of electrical columns in the form of walking iron giants.

An interesting snippet on historical carrot farming
May 7
Carrots were originally purple, white, yellow, and red.
The orange carrots we know today became popular after Dutch farmers selectively bred them in the 16th–17th centuries.

Smart move?
A year on a cruise ship is probably cheaper than renting in Dublin or London, plus he gets his cooking, cleaning, electricity, heating, wifi and gym included in the price.
- no commute
- international traveler / no income tax
- his employer / HR was likely jealous
