I love threads like this, they really remind you of the demographics of Lemmy. I'll be watching it. Come on England!

Hahaha, it's true.

Perhaps there'd be a bigger response to "Is anyone else self-hosting their own Open Source Football Tournament with their cats?"

No, no, no! Not cats, qwacks!

Edit: Hopefully it goes without saying, don't adopt pets to show off on social media (Nemo effect). I don't think Lemmy users would do that, but you never know. Above duck was given to a family (single mom and her kid I believe) a few years ago and would be with them on their street stand. They put on a football jersey during the tournament to help sell more items, they did not expect the duck to become more famous than the official mascots and get a wikipedia page (and meet the president of Mexico in some controversial twist of fame [due to other more pressing issues]): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merl%C3%ADn_the_Duck

Threads like this confirm to me that I've found "my people". Enjoy your football match.
