>world cup in 6 weeks>0 hype
>Forty-eight teams>Multi-national hosts>Some matchs will kick off at midday>No Italy, Denmark, Hungary, Poland or China
>>154483547good luck
>>154483646>China??
>>154483646t. el chino Silva
>>154483547 (OP)>national teams filled with foreigners>one of the qualifying teams (not filled with foreigners) withdrew because the host country attacked them for no good reason
>>154483547too many thirdie teams and too many games at unwatchable hours
>>154483547All these shithole nations that qualified made me realize that the tournament would be better if it was 70% or 80% european countries
>>154483547Don’t worry, you euros will shove your shitty tournament down all our throats in due time
>>154483547im still a neet and im going to have the time of my life again
group A and F will be interesting. are we doing an official pickem?
soulless world cup
Imagine if a WC has over 100 games, yet 60% of them will end at least 3-0 or more because some unknow shitty team nobody cares plays a title contenderTheres a reason why the 32-team system stuck for over 20 years, because 90% of the teams on the cup were World-Cup worthy. I will literally skip all games till quarter-finals
>>154484199It used to be
españa españa españa
>our first match starts at 4amlike what the fuck am I even supposed to do, wake up before the match at 4am or go to sleep after at 6am
>>154483547no comfy kick-off times like during WC 2014 brazil (last game started around 11 PM or midnight for us euro's). Usually those games were also bangersAnd now i'm supposed to wake up at 3 or 4 AM to watch Saudi-Arabia? lmao
>>154484761Belgium's kick-off times are alright. Don't care about the other games. Not sure what the crossover is because best third teams advancing (except for the runners-up which might be Iran v US in the R32). There'll be a lot of downtime between games. Journos will manufacture more nonsense than usual to fill it.
>>154483646>ChinaLmao
>>154483547>>154483646Having more than one host nation is the killer, especially when one is Mexico hosting for the hundredth time
you can advance with only draws which means defensive plays where nothing happens. Chud WC
>>154484549>Imagine if a WC has over 100 gamesa 128 team bracket that went straight to elemination round would be more interesting than having meaningless group stage games, winner would go 8-0, which is only one more game played than winning 32 team format
I personally can barely contain my hype for these matches as they will be extremely close, and surely not an exercise in Ronaldo stat padding.
>>154483547the regular season isn't even finished yetas soon as the champions league final is over there will be big hype
I will be attending a knockout round game
>>154483547Based. We finally killed gayass soccer
>>154483547It’s almost like everything the orange man touches turns to shit or something
>>154490373He touched your skin?
>>154483547It’s what happens when you get greedy for money and you have matches like Haiti - Scotland and Curacao - Ecuador that make the tournament look like a Mickey Mouse Cup
>>154490373Ah sweet, another tds post.
>>154483646t. juan chen
because theres nothing to be excited about. world cup is now just another cash grab. goes along with how fucked the modern world is with ai, tech, nonstop politics, war, and pedophiles ruling every facet of society while the common person is greatly suffering with a hopeless looking future. why the fuck would anyone be excited about some stupid ass soccer tournament? in 4 years by the next one, god knows how much more of a flaming pile of absolute shit the world is going to be.
Not a senpai of how American cities aren't walkable and the only way you can get to the stadium is to pay $150 for a train ticket.
sad state of us, SUM, MLS and USSF have done fuck all to even promote it outside of social media and some fucking candies/party favors at the supermarket
Oh boy I can't wait to watch curacao vs. little st. james, a matchup for the ages
>>154483547imagine if the world cared...
>bloated world cup with Curacao but not Italy>probably half-empty stadiums due to half the tickets being reserved for (((corporate))) partners and travel being super expensive>players more tired than ever, will probably walk around the pitch
>touristball is completely irrelevant when real (club) footy is onoh what a shock
>people STILL think there's going to be a world cup this yearlmao
because I don't want to watch bongs being given highway to Semi-Finals through shitty teams hundredth time
>>154483547Because Euros are club customers first and foremost and the season is still going. It won't be as good as Qatar though, high prices keep out most real supporters and the games kick off between 8pm and 3am in Europe. Part of the appeal of a world cup for me is having football all day in the group stage.
>>154492761this
DEI: the tournament
>>154484474<3
>>154486640But for some reason you're OK when they do the same thing with the Euros?
>>154494543Shouldn't happen in the Euros either but you can forgive it for 2028 because England, Scotland, Wales is all the same island. Spain and Morocco for 2030 world cup is woke nonsense.
IM HYPED
>>154494587UK-US 2038 bid incoming. Only way England will be able to host a World Cup because on their own they'll never get the votes.>>154494434>club customers first and foremost and the season is still goingWorld Cup is targeted at casual fans. They only watch or attend games during major trnys. Kick-off times for big European sides are between 5pm and 10pm, except a couple dead rubbers on the final matchday.
>>154494587> WokeAnarcho-capitalism is woke now?Wait, do chuds unironically believe FIFA is riding hard on emerging markets because they care about browns and they want "diversity" and not purely for economical gain? LMAO
>>154492761there won't be a world this year
>>154494679It's never about browns or "diversity" as much as it's about holding back humans and collecting as many shekels as possible.You're nearly there, but your lack of frontal lobe means you'll never get it. Sad. That's not me being racist btw. It's just the way you, and the other sub-Saharans, evolved.
>>154494756Here's a simple test for you: define the word "woke".Bonus points for using your own words, I know it's hard without regurgitating all the /pol/ nonsense you've accumulated over the years, but I'm sure you can at least try.
>>154494833Any social conditioning that flies in the face of millennia of civilizations the world over. Race-mixing? Wasn't more than a fraction of a percent of relationships until the past 50 years. Faggotry? Wasn't accepted anywhere in history except for a few places in time (even then there were caveats). Women as geniuses/warriors/leaders? Again, incredibly rare.
>>154483646>t. Chongfeng "Miguelito" Yulan
>DR Congo vs Uzbekistan>Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde>Jordan vs Algeria>Canada vs Qatar>Haiti vs Scotland>New Zealand vs Iranyeah that's a shitter
because every week is a World CupBrentford vs Brighton has the same number of star names and talent as Brazil v Italy used to have in the 1990s.
>>154483547well yeah it's soccer
I don't give a shit about Haiti and Curacao playing at 3am in some shithole dictatorship. EURO is by far the more interesting and respectable tournament at this point.
It's
Only one thing could get me hyped
>>154495207EUROs will expand to 32 teams from 2036 onwards. Welcome Luxembros.World Cup 2038 will probably add another 16 teams. Fifa already tried to force Iberians + moors to host a 64 team one. Uefa not getting more than 18 spots with the bulk going to Africa and Asia again so China might qualify.
>>154484199Cry, cracka
>>154483646>No ItalySo the same as usual?
>>154483547>muh politics>muh boycott >muh 48 teams>muh consumerism >muh country with no football heritage>muh everything is fixed >muh no likeable teams Idk man
>>154483547Thanks trump
>>154483547What are some examples of "hype" you think should be happening?
You put it in one of the only countries that doesn't care about soccer
>>154498348Well usually this time of year you should be seeing all the sponsorship partners ads on tv, coca cola, budweiser, competitions to win tickets etc but so far I've not seen a single advert for anything, even in the supermarkets. Might not sound like much, but given how football mad the UK is you'd never guess there was a world cup on in little over a month, its kinda strange.
>farms shitters in groups>slurps into the top 8>gets eliminated by first good team encounteredNothing personal /sp/
>>154483547>qualify for the first time in 150 years>still no hypegames gone man
>>154498630My bank is some sort of WC sponsor. They've been running ads in the branches for months already.
>>154483646>ItalyMissing the world cup is becoming the norm.>Denmark and PolandMiss at least one of every three world cups. Who cares beyond the people of those countries?>Hungary Hasn't qualified since 80s, again who cares?>ChinaQualified only once more than two decades ago.
>>154483646FpbpStill will watch because I'm a good goy
>>154499957You prefer Curacao and Uzbekistan?
>>154500175No, but it isn't like they qualified in place of whatever european nation that didn't make it.
>>154483646>noooo why is [team not good enough to be in the world cup] not in the world cip
>>154500348We went from 40% to 33%. If the same percentage had been roughly kept we would have had 19 or 20 slots instead of 16 so yeah, 3 or 4 of the new thirdie shitter teams kind of did take the place of Europeans.
>>154500643And even then Europe still got more slots for the World Cup than for the previous ones, if with more slots they still can't make it to the World Cup it isn't because of shitters from other regions.
>>154500746I'm not saying that they deserve one of the 16 European slots, I'm saying Europe deserves more than 16 slots in a 48 team WC.
>>154483646>>No Italy, Denmark, Hungary, Poland or Chinagood
North America is the worst “continent” to host this. Also the USA is just too problematic a country to host anything. Its too beligerent at this point
because games are gonna be played in the middle of the night for euroswho is gonna watch it?
>>154484009>>for no good reasonremoving their nuke stockpile and preventing them from ever getting nukes again are 2 very good reasons
>>154503142spics and all of your people actually worth a shit, all of whom already moved here
>caring about NT football
>>154483646>Chinael chaval más chino que la hostia
>>154483547Seems to be a lot of hype. Windows of stores are getting all this world cup stuff, bars in the tourist part of town by the train to the stadium are all decked out in soccer crap, the mayor is making regular updates, there's weekly news about dramas and cogs in it, there's estimations of how many more Sudacas and Europeans than average we're gonna getI don't know if you're living under a rock or something, but it's quite a big deal over here.
>>154504512>host city or any major cityyeah no shiteverywhere else that isn't a tourist trap for foreigners has no hype at all
Wait.. what's the official song?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNCC0KPSX9U
>>154483547it is too expensive for normal people to attend. close to $1000 for 2 people for a shitty meaningless match. its a $5k trip minimum unless you live in the host city. i can go to championship games in NBA MLB NHL and NFL for less than that and get half decent seats.bottom line, people dont pay attention to shit they cant participate in.
>>154483547Im hyped because my five year old son is hyped
>>154515017This is bait. Everyone knows the American median person has around 15 million dollars in disposable income
>>154515018shut up with your son already
>>154515026thats only if you count illegal immigrants on food stamps
I am unironically looking forward to seeing Curacao play, they also have very nice kits and I hope they will score at least one goal
>>154499957Last World Cup I enjoyed was 2014, most likely because we weren't here.
>>154515031Lol go get one you sonless nerd
>>154483547There is 0 hype because everybody knows it comes down to France or Spain.Ultimately France buckbreaks spain and brings the WC home
>>154515154I would like that. Second best possible outcome really.
>>154483646>or China
>>154494931Kek how full will these stadiums be>IranThat will be kino but for other reasons.
>>154515193they will bus in mexicans to fill seats if they have to
>>154494931that will 500 dollars for 2, thanks.
Genuinely, sincerely surprised that the stadiums apparently use artificial turf. It'll be interesting to see how it affects play.
>>154515394they will all use real grass afaik, even those with the artificial will be reworked, fifa is quite strict about thise
>>154515394If they do one should consider going to a game in California. Surf n Turf is a great combination
>>154483547it's because it's being hosted in a country that could not care any less for it
>>154515424I respectfully disagree
>>154515705Kindly elaborate why
>>154515444https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEq12L_EE1Uthere was plenty hype for the 1994 world cup.

>>154515747I don’t think meat and seafood go together all that well, or at least I’ve never experienced itFor one seafood requires white wine whereas for the most part meat is a red wine affair. I don’t have the words to describe the flavour sets properly but I think that’s a pretty good indicator that they do not marry well
