Reply to TIL that FIFA is a French abbreviation, it would be IFAF in English, and England weren't an original member despite creating the game. FIFA also now has more members than the UN by BXCellent

Reply to comment by No-Bar-6917 in TIL of the Canadian commander Charles De Salaberry who defeated the American invasion of Montreal. Salaberry deployed marching buglers to play in all different directions, meaning his American opponents didn’t know how many men he had or what direction they were coming from. by NotThenNotNowNever
