To be honest I’m a little sad to see it go because this has been the most I’ve seen other Americans take an interest in soccer, expanding their horizons beyond their own border a bit, and the banter between countries was fun in a way the Olympic medal farming doesn’t quite capture.
Yep. For all the corruption, it’s just awesome to see people celebrating together over and over. So fun.
Didn’t even notice it. Heard that Spain won though. Congrats to them.
Spain? That can’t be right. I heard England was doing well. Who does Pele play for? Can anyone recap it for us?
World Cup in what sport?
Not liking something like this isn’t a brag… it’s just one less thing you can enjoy in life. One less thing you can watch. One less thing you can talk about. Etc…
The entire world partied for a month and you’re over here thinking you’re better because you were too cool to join in on the fun
Nobody likes that guy that tells himself he was, “too cool” to go to the party
That was pretty invasive I must say. Even at the grocery store, everywhere I looked it was FIFA on deodorant, cookies, cans of soup, flags, towels, napkins, shorts, hot dogs…etc., etc., ad infinitum. Sheesh!
Seriously, thank fuck.
Next week baseketball or superb owl or some other shit will start. It never ends. Never.
baseketball
I should really get around to watching that movie. I saw it in the TV guide like 20+ years ago as a kid, but never watched it even though it sounded funny. Thanks for reminding me
superb owl
Wouldn’t some superb owls tbh.
I’m just glad the late games are over.
I dont watch it but I did appreciate seeing so many people happy and enjoying something. I think the world needed that little break. Anyway back to regular programming, millions dying in Ukraine and war in the middle east pushing us closer to economic depression.
Oh fucking yes, finally i will not have it shoved on my face costantly
World Cup 2030 will be here before we know it. Where are you guys watching? Is Spain the favorite? Will Cabo Verde make another deep run? Let’s hear those theories!!!
It’s overdone. I really don’t need drinks and food branded by FIFA.
wait till you see the disgrace that it is in brazil during world cup
Same. I’m grateful our national team got knocked out pretty quickly. I was not looking forward to all the partying and noise in the streets if they’d won. Now I can just get on with my day without all the hassle :)
I enjoyed dabbling, but in the future, if they roll around and hold their foot/ankle in pain, they shouldn’t get to use that foot/ankle for the rest of the game.
You’re clearly very injured and we insist you care for yourself.
Depends tbh, there are injuries you can get which hurt a lot for a few seconds but you are quickly fine enough to carry on after. Fallen off a bike before and it really fucking hurts. Then a few minutes later cycling along again and it only hurts a little bit.
I fucking hate football, a bunch of morons running on a field with a ball and get millions for that while i work my ass for a few thousand, fuck off and the the constant questions “did you see the game yesterday”, no i don’t WATCH FUCKING FOOTBALL!!!
You sound a bit stressed, maybe you should go outside and kick a football around to relax.
Not even the highlights? 😇
Both of them!
I always hated football too!
Then I played a football video game (PES). I like it a lot more now!
Have you looked into SP Football Life? It’s a free singleplayer version of the sadly F2P PES. It’s amazing and can be life-consuming.
the world cup being in the front page news far longer than it shouldve been, usually it just squirrels back to sports centric media/and forums.
I have a burning hatred for football and football hooliganism.
Ugh, especially the hooliganism. People are way too mild on the hateful competitivism it breeds in fans and the millions it costs for demolishing our cities.
I have a “I don’t give a shit” about football but a love for hoolaganism
well, pay to fix all the destruction then.
and made me arrive on time each time football hooligans take the street and my bus has to be diverted.
