seriously, why is there absolutely no hype for the world cup?
>>154811208no italy
>>154811208Here in Brazil everyone is super hyped up, but in your british case, it might be because you guys don't feel represented in your team, culturally or whatever. It's always blacks blacks blacks blacks immigrants immigrants immigrants, and when everything becomes a symbolism for those things people naturally drift away from it.
>>154811208Europeans are fatigued because everything in Europe is being destroyed, including the ability to identify with your national team. FIFA actively works against UEFA as well. Now add the general „business mentality“ in the US and the shitty new format. It is the second highly questionable tournament in a rowI am pretty sure people in other regions are as hyped as always, more or less. They either just want to consume or they actually received something (proportionally more spots). And they don’t see other stuff eroding
a hopelessly unsolvable enigma
the truth is that we're dependent on our medias, they decide when we are hyped or not. they decide the subject we must be obsessed with, when they'll decide to focus on the world cup, we'll focus on the world cup.
>>154811208Priced out
Everyone on 4chan is so brainrotted from being terminally online that nobody here has the attention span to look forward to something that’s nearly a month away. Israel could have nuked Iran by then. Donald Trump might finally have been shot by a bullet that’s willing to go near him. Hype for any big event starts about a week before, always. Go ahead and tell me any big event with hype that starts before then.
>>154812017there was lots of early hype for the last WC, especially with the Mbappe comments about South America and the meme pic of it
>>154811208You've already determined answers for yourself and just want other people to join in the complaining with you.
>>154811208Blame America. A plastic culture, plastic people and Superbowl tier pricing for Cape Verde v Iran. A hilarious gaggle of people
>>154811752There's a dude on the left with no front teeth, did he lost them during the match?
Drumpf.
>>154812251That’s Nobby Stiles. He actually played with dentures, but took them out for the celebration photos. When /spol/tards talk about the superior English race, that’s the race they love so much. Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, isn’t welcome because he’s not a good genetic specimen. I don’t think it’s possible to make a more obvious argument why raceposting is retarded.
>>154812017everyone is like that, there are too many happenings to care about anythinghell, everyone already forgot about iran, gaza genocide, the capture of maduro, etc
>>154811208Why do you guys keep saying that? If anything, there is even MORE hype than the others in my experience, considering it will be the last WC of some beloved players
>>154812017>Donald Trump might finally have been shot by a bullet that’s willing to go near himThat's cool. Can you write that about Starmer in your third world shithole full of minarets?
>>154811208Maybe give some examples of the hype you feel is missing?
>>154811208Drumpf and Fifa
>>154811208I live 220 miles (350 kilometers) from a world cup site with relatives in that city to stay with and I won't be going because its too expensive.
the last wc final was the best ever (despite being rigged). we needed a 5 year gap this time to get the hype going
>>154811752inherent vice is a bitch
>>154811208>seriously, whyI think you already know why
>>154811208>brits using americanisms like "hype"Oh dear
No one cares about the world cup in the US. can't watch the matchesshit performance due to heatno fans because no one sane will travel there
>>154812879Nobody ever said the english race is superior to anyone or anything. But Anthony Joshua is probably not welcome there because he is not english or european. It has nothing to do with him not being a good genetic specimen. Being opposed to outsiders is what kept different tribes alive for thousands of years.
1. the world cup is mostly for casuals who don't actually care about football they just care about events and having a "side" so they can do their reddit pasta or baguette snapping for updoots2. fifa's corruption is simply too much to ignore these days3. the tournament is too bloated, you don't actually care about cape verde vs fiji, you are just conditioned to think it matters because it's the world cup, you would never watch a single second of these teams playing outside of the world cup4. international football is a lower level than the conference league5. it's held in a swampy shithole with high ticket prices and game delays when a cloud appears in the sky6. the timezones are shit7. western european teams are used as a tool for more immigration and any success is a poison chalice8. the fans are all sweet caroline singing wankers

>>154811208In Germany there's a good amount of hype, it's been 8 years since the last World Cup (the winter World cup in a third world shithole 2022 didn't count and nobody cared here)We good a solid chance to reach the quarterfinals depending on our luck and it looks like a hot summer. Late night games after a hot day by the pool, drinking a few beers with good friends, comfy
>>154811420>It is the second highly questionable tournament in a rowthis.FIFA forgot whose game it actually is.
because >fifa
the italian fifa boss guy is a bit of a chud and always associating himself with trumptrump has been hated since started the iran stuff in the mainstream and even with many of his loyalistshence more and more people have stopped caring about this eventalso football in general isn't what it was. no big superstars comparable to the GOATs of the past. WCs where it'd be peak Ronaldo 9 v Zidane are long gone
>>154823247he's swiss
2014 was the last good World Cup and I would say that even if we hadn't won it. 2018&2022 had no cultural impact whatsoever. spawned no memes, nobody talks about those tournaments any more. It's over. It's been over for 12 years and will continue to be over, especially with fucking USA and Saudi Arabia WCs coming up.
>>154811208Iran still don’t have visas to enter the US for their matches. FIFA refused to move any of the matches to Mexico. It’s a shitshow
>>154823330Can't believe the FIFA Peace Prize winner would do this.

Some people even called it out in the threads. But the WC and the next Summer Olympics will put the Africanization, Indianization, and collapse of the western system on full display.

Everyone made their case, but really it is simply baffling how no one at FIFA spoke up about the new WC format with subpar national teams from bumfuck nowhere, it’s complete dogshit. You’d think there’d be at least a single honest, football-loving higher-up not willing to let this happen.
>>154828191Doesn't really matter if the guy making the decisions is a turbocorrupt mobster who gets bribed a lot to make shitty decisions.
>>154828191>You’d think there’d be at least a single honest, football-loving higher-upWhen there were one, he'd have died of shame, long time ago.
>>154828191Russia hosting was a mistake.Qatar hosting was a mistake. 48 teams was a mistake.USA hosting was a mistake. 2018 should’ve gone to England, 2022 to Australia, and 2026 Uruguay. Obviously Uruguay will need help, so at least give them the opening game, at least one group maybe two, and home knockouts and final. Russia was boring.Qatar wasn’t too bad as far as the matches and watching on tv, but it was lacking and really they should be restricted to hosting confederation cups never world cups. The expansion to 48 teams is ridiculous, at 32 there’s already too many weak teams who aren’t getting past the group stage and ok there’s always going to be that but it needs to be limited, what’s happening now is the UEFA qualification will be more of a challenge than getting past the group stage at the actual tournament. It’s just wrong.
>>154825013Don’t forget Palmer is black too.
>2 of the 3 hosts don't care about the sport>Soulless commercial garbage>48 teams meaning there wasn't the same struggle to qualify as previous world cups ( look how dead world cup qualifying was this cycle)>Extremely expensive tickets with mutiple games having empty seats>More talk about the USA politically than the actual tournament>The sport it's self is in a dog shit era. Wemr from stars of Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar to rapahina, Yamal and Jude Bellingham
>>154828786There's nothing wrong with 48 teams, it just should be 40 teams from Europe, 4 teams from South America and 4 other teams for exotic vibe.
>>154828786and Saudi is definitely yet another mistake.upto Morocco, Portugal and Spain to pull one out the fire.
after Qatar this whole manifestation is dead to me
>>154827206Remember last month when there were fuel price riots in Ireland and all the government bootlickers cried out that the protestors don't "represent the Irish people" yet all the protestors were 100% white Irish and the anti-protestors were fags, dikes, and assorted browns? I could have swore the fuel protestors quite literally represented the Irish people.
>>154828191>how no one at FIFA spoke upEuropeaans were the only ones speaking up against the expansion. Infantino railroaded it through because his powerbase is in Africa, Asia, etc. They also got the bulk of the extra spots. Uefa doesn't really care about the WC. The money is in the CL.>>154828786>UEFA qualification will be more of a challengeWith the new overhaul qualis will get a lot harder. No longer a foregone conclusion for the big sides.
>>154829295You should leave
>>154824387funny how you talk about other western countries demographics. Yet you wont discuss your own when you are objectivly the least white of all
>>154811208Top 3 reasons:1. Shit group stage and round of 32.2. Having to move from one country to the other to watch the matches is discouraging to follow any at all.3. The 3 hosts are shitholes, you would need to pay people to make them go.Bonus Point: Garbage music.I sure hope the entire thing is a weird experiment, because is obviously only to steal more money from retards, and now that it failed we'll go back to normal for the next one.
>>154812017had to watch a video on the side to finish reading this fucking long post
>>154825670I'd still say the general movement out of Africa around 50,000 years ago was a bit more significant. If you don't want to reach that far back, it wasn't much more than 400 years ago some people hated England so much they moved to North America, started a series of colonies and eventually about 250 years ago spawned the United States of America, which in turn helped bankrupt France while also inspiring French Democratic revolutionaries and leading to a much more significant political change in Europe. But you're right. This is the most significant migration of people in human history. So much change has happened, Kebab stands, Curry Shops, Chinese Food.

Ridiculous doesn't begin to describe it. It's communist propaganda tier eye gouging pricing. I'm not opposed to spending a couple hundred dollars but when you've got near thousand dollar tickets you've got a problem

Messi and Ronaldo have both been in retirement mode for the past 3 years and should really just fuck off at this point, and none of the current top players have anywhere near close to their aura. Most teams are still clinging on to ageing players that passed their peak years ago, and the young players haze zero charisma or personality

>>154811208Sovless 48 team format, what a farce, the feeling that football is going in the wrong direction. America is not a football country- it just all looks wrong. The media does not create that atmosphere of anticipation... In addition, Croatia was super successful and now we "don't care" what will happen. Happiness is beautiful when you wait and dream about it. There must be that element of longing, suffering and waiting, we had that in 2008, 12, 14, 16... 'oh my God, when will something nice finally happen to us?'. This way, we come to the World Cup with the knowledge that this is Luka Modric's last tournament, and we are sad because of that.
