Now, avoid bringing international events (and money by extension) to the United States until it stops with this Republican bullshit. It needs to be cutoff and isolated. Don’t reward it for this behavior. Reminds me of this, and we all know how it all turned out:
I’m so happy its over.
Look if you like organized sports fine. You have my vote.
But God… I just don’t care.
The organization is so thoroughly corrupt that I have no interest in it. Especially because I don’t like football/soccer that much to begin with
The only reason I knew it was happening this year was because of all the shit the orange diddler was doing to meddle with it by denying/deporting refs and players, make it about himself, and outright cheating.
Every other year of the world cup I didn’t even know until is see a post about the winner
My mistake was only watching the final game live. Turned out to be a real snoozefest, with very, very few even mildly exciting moments.
How bad was it? Spain had 12 shots on net. Argentina had 0. Zero.
I think that any other game in the tournament would have been better to watch.
I prefer female volleyball.
Explain yourself
It’s the shorts. I err I mean he likes the shorts.
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.
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!
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.
Are you sure about that?
Think about it: only the people of a single one of all participant countries will end up happy (because their team won it) whilst everybody else will end up unhappy (because their team lost).
Granted, there are a few cases of a bit of happiness, like for the people of Cape Verde, without actually winning it but following unexpected very good positions, but those are a minority and tend towards smaller countries (which usually don’t have enough population to have enough World-class players even if they’re football-crazy, hence why any good result is a surprise).
I would say that logically, all in all at the end of it big single sport world cups like this generally end up with far more people unhappy because of it than the people which are happy.
Yes. I might be disappointed The Netherlands didn’t at least beat Morocco, before succumbing to France, but that doesn’t mean the World Cup made me sad. It was incredibly entertaining, many unforgettable moments, beautiful goals. I’ll never forget some of these moments.
A competition only makes you sad if you are a sore loser.
While the games are playing out there is happiness and excitement and celebration and sure when your team loses it can be sad but its just a game and there are worse things to be sad about. Its nice to feel sad about a game and not im sad because the world is falling apart.
For most people the world cup is not that serious and even for the ultras its more excitement than unhappiness. Think about the world cup as the total journey and not just the end result.
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?
Alright, so Japan played Brazil with Hatsune Miku on the line and lost. Then Brazilian Hatsune played Norway and lost. Then Norwegian Hatsune played England and lost. Then English Hatsune played Argentina and lost. Then Argentinian Hatsune played Spain and lost. Now Spanish Hatsune Miku is the ultimate winner.
Oh fucking yes, finally i will not have it shoved on my face costantly
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
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!!!
Seriously, thank fuck.
Next week baseketball or superb owl or some other shit will start. It never ends. Never.
superb owl
Wouldn’t some superb owls tbh.
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
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.
The hoolaganism I enjoy does not involve destruction of public property or traffic disruption to be clear
then you just don’t know what hooliganism is.
They say it’s a cup, yet it is clearly participated on a field. And that field is plainly not big enough to house the whole world.
Lies through and through.
At least Trump won the game! Spain on the other hand… Terrible people. Terrible. Rapists and murderers. But they are winners when they get to stand in the man’s presence. /s
Does that mean we all… lost the game?
(le 2008 meme fedora tip)
The game has concluded since the Queen is dead.
Check, mate. Understood.
The cup is the world
Hold on flat earthers, the inverted earth theory just dropped
🌏🏆
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.
If it were so easy, why don’t you do it?
At the end of the day, it’s entertainment, just like your comedy show, horror book or favorite song. Might not be your taste, but complaining about what they earn is really dishonest. Are you complaining about the actors in your favorite movie because they earn substantially more than you?
So you think catering is easy? Carpentry? Firefighting? Yes i’m going to complain about what they earn, it’s overrated bullshit and causes nothing but problems, traffic jams, huge amounts of garbage, damage to property from psychopathic fans, assaults, murder.
Nice that you ignored about 90% of my comment.
I never said the jobs you mentioned are easy, that’s why you dont see me complaining about them earning too much.
You seem to think sport at such a high level is easy.
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.
