What do you like about US politics?
Wut?
why do you prefer it over football?
You think FIFA and the selection of the US as host isn't political?
Italy!
Oh, wait...
lol
I'm not sure I'll watch it. It will be far away from where I live and I've been losing interest for football for years now. It's just too corporate this day, imo
Corporate and fascist, not to mention the SA
What is sa?
Sexual assault, I think.
Sexual abuse/assault
South Africa
Is this related to Epstein or something else entirely?
FIFA/WC
My country did qualify (Scotland) so I'll be up for a few VERY late sessions in the pub (our first game kicks off at 2am our time!) ππ»π΄
Anyone playing against the USI.
what is that
I'll be encouraging any country playing against the USI.
Granted I donβt know much about professional soccer, but probably rooting for France?
I like the chicken on the Les Bleus jersey.
Good matches and the health and safety of all players and spectators.
Not a fan of football.
Scotland
Yeah exciting they're in it. First time since... uhh... France '98 I think
Yep. And we've managed to draw 2 of the 3 teams we played in that tournament (Brazil and Morocco) - what are the chances?! π
im pretty down on professional sports in general. It feels so banal or trivial given the state of the world today. I guess anything celebratorial like that. It feels like every ticket sold is folks being. Yeah everythings fine. Now like local or school low enough to not be televised or bar bands. those are where I am at.
Im boycotting it. Not that id follow it either way, but at least previous years Id go to a bar with friends to watch the semi-finals and final, and have a couple beers, simply to watch good football. Not this time though.
No one. Professional Football is boring. As a sport it is stupidly over sized. 5 aside is scaled better which makes it way more fun to play and watch.
Football also has too much association with unnecessary violence and hate.
