Why is there no hype for the upcoming wolrd cup?How would you create hype for it?
stop hosting in shitholes
>USA, a crumbling fascist state where nobody is safe unless they bend the knee to the mafia boss>Canada, a hyper corrupt nation of cheats who are unfathomably evil (as revealed by the Curling scandal)People are just waiting to see if FIFA gives Mexico sole hosting rights or moves it to another nation, no use getting hyped for something that might not happen
every world cup is more and more soulless and now with more nations qualifying it will be of lesser quality too2014 was the last good world cup, maybe 2018 at a push. every cup from now on will be 15 different countries "co-hosting" or some arab shithole hosting. 100 nations qualify so we will be blessed with fascinating matchups like england versus burkina faso in the group stages
>>153490087globo homo bullshit
>>153490087>72 games to cut the field from 48 to 32>y no hyp doe
Sport in general is dying and soccer is most affected because it used to be the normie sport of choice.
>>153490200zoomers wouldn't even watch sports if not for sports betting. I know very few zoomers who actually follow sports, and the ones who do are all gamblers
Its baseball season.
The big matches will be fine. It's just the Nepal vs Equatorial Guinea games will be dead.
>>153490126Is Mexico finally a first world country?
>>153490087Nobody cares about soccer in the states.Why is it even here? Find some turd worldwide who care about this poorsport.
>>153490087>Many seats remain unsoldThat's all they care about...nobody wants to see Argentina vs Tuvalu fGs
>>153490106fpbp
cry about americans all you trannies want but fifa is corrupt trash and no one cares anymore
It’s just nations showcasing who can import the best africans
>>153490087>tournament with 48 countries participating There's your answer, right there
one thing is that there is absolutely nothing coming from USAQatar kept spamming world news with their futuristic stadiums and paid Beckham to advertise for them, people discussed the heat and alcohol rules and dead paki workers and all that, there was a certain buzz and it kept making headlines (in both good or bad way), now you don't hear anything
>>153490087More ICE raids to make the cities safer and inspire confidence in potential foreign tourists.
>>153490087I won't check but I assume prices are too high for these 3 countries that are being mismanaged into poverty so they're waiting for saudis to come buy everything
I’m hyped, but I’m not planning on buying tickets or anything. I’d rather watch from home than spend $2,000 on two seats. My girlfriend hates sports and I don’t really know anyone else that likes soccer/footy. Gonna shitpost on /sp/
Too many games. The group stage is just another round of qualifying before the main event.
>>153490087To create hype, you need a scandal.
72 group stage games where there's zero jeopardy because 66% of teams will qualify probably has something to do with it
>>153490870to be precise there are some news but it is always the same fucking thing - every few weeks trump says that if some city won't suck ice cock he will move the world cup to another cityit is utterly retarded and annoying and no one outside of usa even knows which cities are meant to host it anwyay
>>153490870This is a good point
>>153490087It can never be as boring and forgettable as the last Euro in Germany.That one was total trash.
>>153490890they tried to hype it up so much here>WOOOOO, AUSTRIA CAN GO TO THE WORLD CUP, WOOOOand it was so fake and gaySo even in countries that can now compete, that previously couldn't, the hype just isn't there.
>>153490972You forgot "Price of WC ticket now surpasses $400'000 for seat behind a pillar"
>>153490892Did German and South Africa have any major controversies? Honest question, I can't think of any.
They're milking this sport to death
>>153491129It was a different time.I watched 06 on a illegal Vietnamese satellite channel my cable operator hooked me up with. Now I have 5 different streaming subscriptions.
>>153491129Germany was uneventful on terms of the actual hosting, South Africa had the vuvuzelas but surprisingly no real incidents in terms of tourists getting mugged or murdered. Russia had the organised hooligan fights, which was quite a fun concept to control the violence and Qatar had all the dead slaves that people quickly got over.
>481631$ for a ticket to watch Moldova vs. Burkina Faso>Why no one buy ????
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6971550/2026/01/14/world-cup-tickets-demand/So they sold 2mil tickets in October/November and have 4-5mil tickets left as of a month ago and 500mil pending requests (requests can be for 1-4 tickets). The issue is no one wants to pay $140 to watch Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde
>hundreds of dollars for literally who matches nobody cares about>this is just for nosebleeds, getting within 10 ft of the field is at least $1000>massive logistical nightmare, half the games are in another state>not even counting airfare and hotels>blumpf is demanding every foreigner submit 5 years of social media history to see if they poo-poo'd ICE or israelI hope USSF and FIFA burn to the ground for this
>>153491256>massive logistical nightmare, half the games are in another statethis makes it weird even for people who don't plan to visit, it is spread across the whole continent, so it feels like it is hosted by everyone and no one
>>153491129Germany 2006 had like five different theme songs written for it that you heard on the radio all the time.It was memorable for this alone already, half a year of build up.The mascot and the songs were an important part of world cups.Think about Shakira Waka Waka.
>>153491343>Waka Waka.pure aids song
>>153491343they should ask world popular superstars like Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter to write songs for it
>>153491400waka waka ay ay
>>153491416yeah fucking trash, her voice is already fucking garbage but that song is pure aids
>>153491400doesn't really matter though, you still remember it, it was just a very effective ad
A major factor to the lack of hype on the internet is the mascots aren't considered fuckable enough.
>>153491429I remember it being pure aids and not understanding why anyone liked it
>>153491343Imagine this world cup song>Drake, Justin Biber + Jay-Z, Beyonce + Santana, Bad BunnyYou got two acts from each host country (yeah bad bunny counts as mexican) + santana for the boomers
nobody wants to go to america, that's why
>>153490087more countries makes me care less
>>153491460>bad bunny counts as mexican
>>153491400Dont worry, they also had more songs for South Africa 2010. You really couldn't avoid hearing about the upcoming world cup constantlyy months in advance.https://youtu.be/WTJSt4wP2MEWhen I get olderI will be strongerThey'll call me freedomjust like a waving flagAnd then it goes back,and then it goes backAnd then it goes back,and then it goes
>>153491481We are literally throwing them out by the thousands, limey faggot.
>>153490087The final should be in a latinx country... oh wait, it is
>>153491531Nobody with money.
>>153491460holy shit I unironically love Santana
>>153491531If Americans were actually serious about their illegal problem they would target employers directly for hiring them. The most egregious violators get huge prison sentences and everyone else immediately stops it. Then all the illegals self-deport due to no grey market work and the remaining ones (drug dealers) get hunted down by ICE with no opposition.
>>153491460How about Selena Gomez, for simultaniously representing Mexico (origin) and the USA (home) and the Jews who rule Mexico (jewish female president), the USA and Canada, because she married a jew, AND who got trafficked by Epstein?
Create a segment with random unimportamt news about the teams, but put a black guy saying "DAMN!" after each news piece
>>153491595Do NOT suggest something that actually works!
>>153491633lmao, but really americans dominate the entertainment industry and suddenly they cannot even advertise their own world cup?
>>153491555>Nobody with money.The only place that gets more millionaires every year than the US these days is the UAE. China and the UK are the ones hemorrhaging people with money.
>>153491638Americans seem to love their jewish circuses rather than actually solving their problems. The most important being auditing the FED.
>>153490106World Cup should be hosted exclusively in Europe, South America, Mexico and some East Asian countries. Enough with hosting in retarded countries with 0 football culture.
>>153491558Nah unc got excited just reading the name santana fr fr
>>153490654Basically this, they upped it to 48 teams which means there more slop to start the tournament. Once group stages are over it should pick up and all the high profile games will 100% sell out. Right now they worried about all the overbloating shit not selling like they thought it would
>>153491663millionaire tourists do not typically generate local capital as much as normal tourists, which the U.S no longer has an influx of.
>>153491531yes, third worlders. i dont know anyone from second world (like Croatia), let alone first world, who want to emigrate to USA. America is great when you have like 15k$ a month (like 0.001% of people), but sucks for everyone else
>>153491696The United States has won four World Cup titles
>>153491689Youre literally a Jewish circus.
>>1534911292006 didn't need any scandals or controversies, it was the last time germany functioned as the world imagined germany to function. A gigantic public viewing party across the country, no cultural enrichment at every corner, great atmosphere, comfy host cities and functioning public transport. The last hooray of that comfy time was the 2008 EC with the same vibes across Austria and Switzerland.South Africa was Vuvuzelas, a pointless stadium and else a great experience (it was probably the best south africa I ever visited)
>>153491798
>>153492002They never recovered from this, that and getting reut by the Dutch in the boreball WC
>>153491840Take me back.
>>153490087>Host it in 3rd world shitholes, again.>Trump threathens to fuck up foreigner fans.How is it surprising?
>>153491184w-what about us
>>153491696>and some East Asian countries
>>153491416sambisambidza kaka rereka It's time for Africa
>>153492298das right. We need a WC in China
>>153492324>tfw no WC in Bhutan
>>153492324Well. It would be a good opportunity for me to finally go to Beijing, what with the visa-free travel deal and all.
they should have one in yugoslavia desu
>>153491696fifa needs more money pls understand
>>153491531Throw out ramaswamy, loser
>>153490087They'll sell out the seats nearer the time I'd imagine tb h
>>153492293The last great world cup great atmosphere with public viewing around the world was a thing and even a pretty good host(kinda like south africa, I expected more fuck ups but it was all pretty smooth and fun)
>>153492293>7-1thank you for your service
>>153492293Yours was perfect, thank you. Didn't even feel the need to mention it because everyone knows what good hosts Brazil are.
>why aren't people paying hundreds of dollars to watch burkina faso vs mali in kansas city???
Imagine the USAian prices, the whatever oranage man decides on last minute about the border and travel bans, the fucking socials scanning that not even the UK seems to demand for traveling there, cherry on top eventual wildfires between USA and Canada.It's not like traveling between Poland and Ukraine or Germany and France, western Russia etc, actual important distances across the North American continent despite them being neighbors.Not to mention the USAian president has addressed the WC tourists with a borderline threatening and hostile advice, not very welcoming or warm so why would someone go there?
>>153492781Nobody cars about that, it's simply the prices. Like the club WC.Flights, a hotel, ticketing, car rental and some spending money would total to insane amounts for a rock bottom experience. If you want to follow your team just trough the group stage you can expect to blow over 10k€ for nose bleed seats, economy flights, shitty motels and mostly eating budget food to watch pointless matches. It's simply not worth it.
>>153492293>That picH-hot
One of the WC biggest hypemen, the argies, dont want it to happen as it will mean they stop being the champions, so they are quiet
>>153490294Genuinely they have a decent to good economy and stole a lot of manufacturing jobs from China. Its solid high tier Second World economy with Third World Crime levels.
>>153493143>Flights, a hotel, ticketing, car rental and some spending money would total to insane amounts for a rock bottom experience.This is sadly true. I'd rather travel to some 2nd division match in Italy or Scotland than to a Champion League knockout match, or a World Cup match (done both)
>>153491481This! So much this. I can't blame anyone for not wanting to come to this World Cup when we have a fascist orange dictator sending his gestapo units to harass people of color and our undocumented brothers and sisters
>>153490087>hypeLol
>>153494274Yeah I spent the last week in Livigno and Bormio for the Olympics and some skiing I blew also a lot of money(about 3.3k for two) but had a great time.
>>153490087A real mystery
>>153494455>nigga went to reddit to extract this replyKwab
>>153492781poorfag lol
Not giving my money to the jews, nope.
>implying anyone cares about unironically rigged leagueLolLmao evenNot even megashill networks like Univision is talking about it
>>1534908888 matches at the same stadium. That's like the entire home schedule for an American football team. Gonna take a bit of the specialness away.
>>153493926Mexico is a richer bolivia or villa 31 (guetto from argentina full of bolivians peruvians mexicans equivalent).If they werent close to usa, they would be africa tier.Argentina is the only defect and safe in latam, but since white population and culture is dying is close to mexico now.
>>153497288*German populationItalians and sicilians don't count as whites btw.
I applied for tickets to attend three games here in Miami. Didn't get a single ticket. Fuck FIFA.
>>153490777Checked
i'm so hecking excited to watch group f matches that i'm literally shaking right now.
>>153490087>Tickets remain unsold>All the tickets cost a months rent Sports is being exploited as a failed luxury brand more and moreJust have soccer players sag their shorts and talk endlessly about how dangerous playing soccer is.
>>153490087football is boring, it's all just ngubus vs ngubus now
>>153490972We americans dont even know what cities are hosting. Zero publicity
>>153490087Who cares about the Americas edition of the World Cup?Football ended in 2022, the final arc
>>153498223>corré la bola wachín
>>153490087the greatest nation doesn't give a shit about europoor sports. muh 90 mins of 0-0
>>153492016You what? We lost to japan
>>153490087north americans dont care about soccer
>>153499268Thats not entirely true
>>153497672muzzie bowl ned-tun might be fire
>>153490133>2030 WC will have so many teams that conmebol can shamelessly ask for all of it's countries to qualify
>>153491129They were just normal and actually good WC and not this travesty we have this year.
>>153490087>How would you create hype for it?End the constant emergency we're living under
>>153501332I'm afraid the only solution to that is state secession.
>>153490087worst timezone possible don’t care about it
>>153493926it has like the second highest murder rate in the world
>>153502642Don't bother he's probably a Chicano. Go on tiktok and get into an argument about mexico and quality of life with a mexican or Chicano and they are geniunly probably top 2 most delusional people you'll ever talk to They will wipe off having 8 of the top 20 deadliest cities in the world saying it's actually just cartel violence and try claiming that Vancouver is more dangerous. They will say that people from Canada or Europe are all trying to move to Mexico now despite the fact 10x Mexicans live in Canada than the inverse. They will claim half their population not having access to clean drinking water is something that goes on in first world countries and so on
>>153502964>that imageBut American politicians keep saying London is the most dangerous city in the world to live in? I doubt they'd be lying
>>153490200The opposite. Sports are dying but sawker will survive the longest precisely because its the normie sport. Smaller ones will die much quicker
>>153502964>my city is on the list>almost 30>never been robbed or seen any crime happen>live in the capitalI don't get it
>>153503751still not coming to brazil bro
>>153503829We've already absorbed anything decent from France and Germany, why would we want a non-country here?
>>153490087Let me guess, because of THE FASC->>153490126Sasuga tankie-kun.
>>153490870You guys will bully me if I say it but I forgot about the world cup even though I am wishing I had money to go to the US birthday fair or whatever it is which was announced at the same time
>absurd prices>overall quality of the sport at an all time lowpeople will still watch it based just on the fact that it's not taking place in winter
>>153490888>Gonna shitpost on /sp/Based trips, thats the only way to watch it.
>>153490087Donald Drumpf
>>153490126Sure hope any representative won't get killed by the Cartel then
>>153490106No one cares about kickball faggot lol
>>153491129This and Englands disallowed goal against Germany
>>153492439yeah they willthat's how it works over here they charge $9999999999999999 then the event starts and they start throwing tickets at anybody who will take them, unless it's an event people actually want to go to then u take it up the ass no matter what
>>153504958That wasn’t a controversy you dullard. The ref called it and the retards missed the pen.
>>153504333I forgot about it too even though my city is hosting some games and the news has been talking about it for years now. When I first saw this thread my first thought was "I wonder where it is this year..."
>>153505269Wait, is it in Canada or the US?
Stream it on every platform and let anyone costream.
>>153490087>5 years' salary for a ticket>they don't know why
>>153490087Yeah no I'll skip this one
>>153490087The 48 countries, there's no good reasoning to let in so many shitters into the cup, there's just no interest in seeing Brazil face the mighty Tahiti, talking about Brazil(5th place), it would have been kino to see them fighting for their life instead of Bolivia. Also who the hell wants to go to Mexico.
Its already expensive to just fly around a massive country, and stay anywhere in an expensive country. Topping it all off with the most insane ticket prices its no surprise.It only makes sense for people living in the areas to really attend, and even then its a rip-off. I have tentative tickets to Poland to attend group-stage games but I almost hope (and expect) for them to not qualify so I get my money back.
>>153504944go watch handegg nigger

>>153506100Isn't that what social media is? Putting your information out there?

>>153514833*Mexican
>>153490087World Cup needs a fun meme like the pepe sirs to redeem it, but I can't think of what
>>153515009I think when it actually starts there will be some kind of regular embarrassing or corny fuck up and yanks will fail to understand the funny side making it more of a meme.That or ICE keeps deporting spectators and virtually American-only stadiums completely kill the atmosphere with their sterile and inoffensive chants.
>>153515832The whole ICE thing is media overblown whining that will have no effect for the tournament. The American-only stadiums killing the atmosphere is definitely going to happen.
>>153502964>St. Louis is more dangerous than MogadishuThis image is retarded lol
>>153490087> expecting Americans to pay >$800 to watch some third worlders kick around a ball in summer heatlmao no thanks
>>153490106Shitholes like Brazil, Argentina and Mexico are a million times better as World Cup hosts than a country like Norway or Canada would be THOUGH You need the PASSIONE, SOUL, and Shithousery of the thirdy fanbases
>>153490087>many seats remain unsoldThey've only done the initial lottery so far.
>>153490087>massively deport non americans out of your country>pikachu face when said non americans don't want to comegee
>>153516666The Irish concentration camp prisoner had a drug charge back home btw that's why he chose to stay in the concentration camp.
>>153492021>Crowd is all white Genuinely shocking it was so recently still like that. I lived in Berlin, like every Melborune cunt does, and it sure as hell wouldn't be this way now
>>153494455Well unironically yeah, I criticize Israel online so you faggots would probably ban me from visiting because your Israeli masters demand it
Fact is Infantino has sucked all the fun and soul out of the competition and the organisation. It has gone from the most soulful event that united the world in a fun yet competitive moment of bliss to a corporate moneygrabbing plastic event solely meant to generate revenue.
>>153490087OhWhere are they hosting it this time?
>host sport in the only continent where it's not popular>nobody shows upi hope the bribes were worth it, fifa
>>153491508GOATed song. I was on /spuh/ at that time. The world was better.
>>153516325Its because St. Louis has a white statistician tracking these things while Mogadishu has nobody that can count higher than 12.
>>153490087Why would there be hype about it while we're in the middle of the winter Olympics?
If israel or russia can participate I would also ignore it.
>>153490087It's the world cupit doesn't need hypepeople were saying the same thing last world cup which turned out to be the best one in decades
>A """"sport""" for european homosexuals and poor shitskins>in NAnot a chance
>>153506100>arrive at the airport>ICE immediately shoot you in the head and plant a printout of chubbyjdvance.jpg on your bodyHeh. Land of the free.
>>153491508It was a really memorable song
Has Italy even qualified for this WC yet?
>>153490087No one wants to go to the USA and risk getting ICED just to visit Kansas City and then have to spend 5k to fly to another shithole for the next game
>>153523324People unironically believe this happens
>>153490802And yet the last winning team didn't have a single black on it
>>153490087I live in the Dallas metro area Maybe I'll watch one of the group stages if the prices aren't ridiculous I'd like to see the Argentine team IRL
Bread and circuses
>>153490126Get the fuck back on the boat
>>153523726It should happen but sadly doesn't.
>>153490087i can't come. I watched a JD Vance meme once
are the mascots at least better than these and the the cumrag from qatar?
>>153490106thisalso infantino needs to fucking die
>>153490087I live basically right next door to one of the stadiums and I literally cannot be bothered because divegrass is divegrass and it's a girls' sport here. I'm actually planning on getting out of town and going to my parents just in case the turd wurldies get out of hand. I would not be shocked if some of them get killed down in Dallas.
>>153505366both. it's USA-Mexico-Canada
Maybe dont make the tickets so god damn expensive. It doesn't help that I would have to travel across the continent to watch my team (I'm not Canadian and my true nation doesn't even play any games in Canada)
>>153503717Nah. The current winter olympics have been pulling great numbers in both attendance and TV spectators.Normies are catching up to the fact that calcio has been dead for a long time. They can smell the soullessness and the poz too, just much more slowly than us
>>153490087Well, us /sp/ enthusiasts are quite hype for the memes and fellow shitposting that will ensue. Don't really give a shit about normies.
>>153490087Ticket prices and yes even parking prices are too damn high
>>153528365I...I cannot defend this.
>>153491728this will be fixed with a 64 teams world cup
>>153492311>It's time for Africathat world cup trashed any chance of south africa being an actual country for good
>>153506100I have fake accounts everywhere, what happens there when I deny having social media?I know they know what accounts are mine
>>153537676Those actually look way better. Nations are instantly recognizable
>>153490087They should cancel the tournament and send the trophy directly to the most needful, Donald Trump, the child fucker of greatest Epsteinian proportions.
>>153539325The idea is good but I hate this kind of 3D animation.
>>153534758kek why did they make it a pan-continental /cum/ fifa
It's retarded. The US is too big. You have to fly everywhere. You can't drink in comfy bars and walk into the stadiums easily. You have to fucking drive everywhere or take an Uber and the stadiums are all surrounded by soulless parking lots or garages for miles. They should have pick one or two cities where everything is central and you can walk everywhere. It's fucking stupid. I can't even go to games that are in my area. They are simply too expensive for group stages.
>la fags are fuming no one wants to visit them for the Olympics>fifa is irrelevantKek summer sports don't belong in the US.Except SLC Winter Olympics. Might be comfy
>>153504904far more likely to get gunned down by border patrol
>>153490087It's largely being held in muttland anon. ie. The Israeli Republic of King Orange Migger-Epstein I (FIFA Peace Prize)
>>153490087I shan't watch. I'll wait for the news of raids on the hotels of US opponents by ICE before their matches.
>>153537676Zabivaha's boyfriends
>>153533270This. Surely there's some rival mob that wants to send him to sleep with the fishes?
>This threadYou zoomers know that the US hosted the 94 world cup right? What am I reading here? Was everyone here born in 2005?There's no "hype" because it's nearly 50 countries and no one, not even the biggest fan, will have time to watch all those matches
>>153543962And when Trump is about to hand over the trophy to the winner (England, obviously), he decides he deserves it more and flies off with it in Marine One while the National Guard besiege the stadium and open fire on the angry crowd. It's looking to be the most kino tournament in decades.
>>153491508That's cause this was Africa's first ever world cup
>>153540044Russia managed to make it work, surely you can't do worse than a corrupt shithole like that?
>>153548018The Russia world cup was AWFUL. The worst of the last 20 years
>>153543603funny how you dont post this kind of stuff if the israeli puppet is a dem
>>153502964You can have a very good quality of life if you make decent money in Mexico. The truth is extreme poverty lowers the price of extreme luxury, and this is why you can lead very ostentatious lifestyles in places like Mexico and Brasil, in ways you wouldn’t really find in Europe. (This is also the reason why mass immigration exists)
>>153548093The actual football was forgettable, but they ran a pretty tight ship in getting the visiting supporters around. Most came away with a good impression.
i want to see a guy score a goal and pull his dick out, brazilian-style. no homo
>>153548789This but full homo (like how you originally meant)
it's a disgrace that soccer is being played here at allfaggot ass sport for turd worlders
>>153548906The free market has spoken and there is simply too much money and soft power in soccer to be ignored. The world doesn't want armoured negro rugby, so you will have to accept divegrass.
>>153548906Was 1994 before your time?
>>153490087i hope its the worst one yet and kills the sport forever
>>153490087World CuuuuupWorld CuuuuupProbably because football is better
