11/ To wrap up this thread, we recommend reading this article on the Geopolitics of the World Cup. Many of the themes raised are equally relevant today, and theyโ€™re absolutely fascinating.

@opencage Sadly neither Ireland nor Northern Ireland have qualified for this tournament - you could do a whole thread on the geopolitics of Irish football! joe.ie/movies-tv/rtes-document

12/ That brings our โšฝ football #geoweirdness thread to a close.

Good luck to all the teams, and enjoy the tournament. What interesting footballing #geoweirdness have we overlooked?

Thanks for reading and sharing. We have links to many more geothreads about geospatial technologies, #geoweirdness of individual countries, geocoding, border disputes, etc listed on our blog:
