is this the absolute worst world cup in the history of the competition? half of the teams are third world and will probably end up defecting while in US or canada.
>>154083244It’s an absolute shitshow
>>154083244Is this how the non-qualifiers are coping now?
>>154083244Yeah that's pretty bad
For me, its Wispy Zip
>>154083277kek i didnt realise it was our translation
>>154083244it wont be as big of a cultural even the past ones were despite half the planet watching it.
Matches like Uzbekistan vs DR Congo are extremely soulful however
>>154083284theres nothing to really be excited for in this competition. i've always prefered the Euro anyway, but somehow this wc just looks souless. there were some strange changes made i think which caused this. honestly if england doesnt win the WC this tourmanet they never will.
The one good side of having 48 teams is that other continents get more representation. Europe and South America had way too many teams in the past
>>154083294its many things but i dont think the cultural and marketing is done correctly,the song anthem for example i used to work "IT" at a radio for the last wc and despite the song kinda sucking back for that one too we played it you just had to its a planetary event of great importance.This year i think the djs all over the globe are gonna be embarrassed to play the new one.I also dont see much of a promotional campaign going on the past ones from what i can remember had the campaign start in winter already from kids toys,stickers,sponsoring tournaments,media advertisement and shows..but that can be chucked on the tv/print falling as a mediums and me not using social media so i dont see it probably.I just dont see or feel the hype about it.
>>154083244My money is on uzbekistan.
>eKWABor
>>154083269It appears to be the case.
With the exception of Haiti and Iran I would rather live in any of the qualified countries before I would wanna live in the 3rd world hellhole that is Murrica
I always liked the Poland Fifa Rankings threads where people would greentext>WlochyOf course we can't do that this time because they're that fucking shit they couldn't beat Bosnia on penalties.
>>154083425Im looking more at Wyspy ZP. What the fuck is that? How do you go from Capo Verde to THAT?
>>154083244>japonia
>>154083244Dr. Konga, I'm CIA
>>154083442Literally "Islands Green Cape" (Wyspy Zielonego Przylądka).
>>154083244Oh man, we didn't qualify for the worst WC ever?
Host in third worldBecome third worldYou guys have fun in there
>>154083557Is that why your importing pajeets soon?
>>154083442>>154083543technically, Islands of the Green Cape. We have many funny words. Germany for us is Niemiec, or literally "The Ones Who Don't Have" because historically we couldn't understand their language so we just assumed they didn't "Have" any language. Many other silly things like that.
>>154083580This you?
>>154083244>tf>tpgit gud. Your confederation had 16 spots, aka *checks notes* 1/3 of the available seats, JUST FOR EUROPE. Now sit in the cuck chair and stfu.
>>154083244Sporting equivalent of DEI
>>154083244Glad Poland didn't make it, then% of thirdies would be even larger
the world cup isn't happening and if you think it is you might actually be retarded
>>154083269Indeed
>>154083244>MEKSYKSeriously guys get a language, it's just the French name written by a toddler lmao
>>154083244Chinese companies are major sponsors of the World Cup, so FIFA increased the number of participating teams to allow a Chinese team to compete. However, even then, the Chinese team was eliminated in the Asian qualifiers.
>>154083244I can name a footballer from almost half of these countries

>48 team WC>Italy STILL can't qualify
>>154083244>absolute nobodies having a chance to stall big names>even 3rd place in half groups can be a champion, just have to suck a little bit less than othersthe potential for absurd upsets has never been higher
>the pole and the Italian butthurt that Haiti and other islands made it inCry more
>>154083244
>>154084361>Being called Hardeep from a British flag
>>154083244I wont be watching it maybe some replays but it has no soul anymore
what is the april fools feature?
>>154084872Epic meme identification
>>154083244Wyspy Zp bros where we at
>>154083244So, have Polish companies ever been main sponsors of FIFA?
>>154083286YeahHoes mad, always mad
>Someone bitched about the WC>Its a Nation that failed to qualify (as in they lost trying to do so)Many such cases!
>>154083244>>154085463Many many such cases indeed
>>154085463>>154085705I think this WC is shitty because it's hosted in two nations who couldn't give less shits about the sport.
>>154083244to everyone who is unaware: cuidado con ecuador
>>154083244Dr Konga!
>>154084361>Mohammedinhogood shit pal
Whats the point if no one can beat France? They could bring out a c-team and still wipe out most countries
>>154086771to make an ungodly amount of money. The World Cup is not about football. That's why we all need to tell FIFA to fuck off so we only host in 1st world countries, no tournament split between fucking continents, no FIFA courts that decide punishments for crimes around stadiums, no chokehold ad contracts so you are forced to drink Murrican 'light beer' for 18 bucks a sip, no slavery and thousands of deaths to build stadiums with a foundation of corruption that will never be used again. Football and the world cup will die if we let FIFA run it.
>>154083244>is this the absolute worst world cup in the history of the competition?You think they said this 98?
>>154083286in theory yes but in practice it's going to be a very careful 0-0 because third place can still qualify
>>154083244For me its Dr Konga
>>154083244Where is China? I thought this format was in order to ensure they made it in.
>>154086815fans need to unionise desu
>>154083244>WKSwhat is this "no vocals" policy for ireland?
