>world cup starts in 336 hours>no one careswhy is the US so incapable of hosting a worldwide event?
>>154897868There's 3 hosts. 4 if we include you, Texass.
>>154897900You are the main host though. And you’ve completely dicked it up. This might not mean anything to you Americans but it does to the rest of the world. FUCK YOU
>>154897868I hope all soccer fans are bankrupted by this event and get shoved onto subways by “kind, wholesome” city dwellers while they’re here
>>154898152dont care
Infantino should have canceled the World Cup the moment Trump got reelected.
>>154897868they're more of a war nation
>>154898152We don’t care about soccerWe will never care about soccer If we win the World Cup, cool If we go 0-3, coolIt does not fucking matter to 90% of Americans Why can’t thirdies understand this
>>154898504Wow rude
>>154898152as opposed to what fucking qatar lol? our media is bad but your media is turbo marxist pants on head retarded, theyre seething about orange man and refusing to hype it
>>154898375but infantino gave trump the peace cup
>>154898539I was in Qatar it had its issues but I guarantee you it will be better than your World Cup
>>154898504Unironically this. The flopping on the ground to earn penalty shots bullshit makes me lose all respect for this semen slurping sport. Now, if they actually penalized players for that nonsense (like hockey does), I'd be more okay with it.
>>154898604They do it’s called simulation Now fuck off fat boy
>>154898616>They dolol>>154898603other than it being fuck off expensive name specifically what will be bad about it
>>154898616the only thing fat about me is my cock, which you're going to be bouncing on later, FAGGOT
I'm not going to watch a single minute of this shitshow
>>154898603Again, we simply do not care. We do not care about the world cup. We do not care about the opinions of non-Americans.
American here, sorry I'm late. Soccer is gay.
I thought about going to a game or two in my city then saw ticket prices. Fuck soccer. Fuck FIFA. Fuck Trump. Not supporting this ripoff shitshow
>>154898152There is no "main host" holy shit
>>154898603I still remember how relentless the negative brit media campaign against the Qatar World Cup was. 'A lot of slaves died to build the stadium! Qatar hates gay people! Don't go to Qatar! You'll get killed! Oh they also don't allow beer! You're fucked if you go to Qatar! I'm a journalist and they just took my press card, Qatar is hell!' Also Lineker saying gay players should come out on the pitch lol. It was still happening even one day before kick-off but then Messi won and people think it's the best World Cup ever
>>154903070>and people think it's the best World Cup everlmao in what world? it was horrendous, just as anticipated
>>154898539>saying something is turbomarxist in 2026Kek American """""""""political opinions""""""
Can't blame the Orange Man for the absurd pricing though he even said he wouldn't go to it. FIFA is the reason why its happened with their wack ass price gouging
>>154897868Because the World Cup is being used as a political football (pun intended!) between various jurisdictions and political factions.New Jersey is mad at New York because that commie mayor's free tickets scheme somehow took tickets from New Jersey, so now Jersey is threatening shut down public transport or overcharge for it.Also Trump's transportation secretary threatened to shut down airports in blue cities that don't cooperate with ICE. He said he'd time it with the World Cup to maximize the impact.These are the disadvantages of hosting a World Cup in a nation in the midst of a Cold Civil War with limited love for soccer. On the other hand we have a ton of great stadiums.
>48 teams>hosted in 3 countries>4 time zones>games taking place at 3amtin pot world cup
>>154898201Based
>>154897868I care a littleI might watch a few games because my baseball team kinda sucks and football isn't on yet
>>154898201NOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO CARE
>>154897868Games are either at 4am or like 10pm my time. Only the shit tier games are in friendly hours
>>154897868maybe i will watch from the quarter finals on the possibility of group stage kino was completely destroyed
>>154903021There is. Nearly all the knockout games are in the USA including the Final, Semi Finals, and all 4 Quarter Finals.
>>154903446Only the shit games are on at 3am for us. FIFA lined up all the main games for 9pm and Argentina vs Austria is on at 6pm
>>154898563He should have rescinded Trump's peace cup after he attacked Iran.
trump ruins everything he touches
>>154898604You guys aren’t tired of making the exact same posts again and again for the last 15+ years
>>154908649You’re a big guy (for him)
>>154898494Never bid for a world cup again. It's obvious that you want to extract the maximum amount of cash fkn money possible. Just ignore US bids from now on.
>>154903446/threadIt was destined to be shit from the announcement.
It's just a shitty money making event at this point. That's why they expanded to 48 teams. The SOVL is gone.
>>154903446The concept of a single country having multiple time zones is unfathomable to a bong in the current year. How far your country has fallen
>>154910404sorry, what? do you think countries are bidding because of their love for the sport instead of how much money they can make off of it?surely you're not that delusional, right hans?
>>154898152The only thing you're mad about is ticket prices, and FIFA set those.
I'm more worried about Israel than some stupid game
I will never ever care for this fake and gay "sport" that is more astroturfed than fucking women's apehoop.
>>154912537But American sports are basically sports entertainment, they are all rigged with a predetermined winner.
>>154898152>This might not mean anything to you Americans but it does to the rest of the world. FUCK YOUOk so why didn't you guys host it?Shant be watching the WC btw, spring football is on
>>154912455hotels, transport, fucking parking, everything is a rip-off. A foreign fan cant afford to follow their team through the first round games, never mind later stages. It's non-viable to host a month long tournament in a scam shithole where even Americans can't afford to take in a single game because everylastfuckingthing is retard-plus priced.
>mfw I remember Euros are going to have to figure out how to get to Metlife
>>154912742>everything is a rip offAmerica is expensive We make a lot of money here A position that pays €50k in Western Europe pays $125k here Euros literally cannot understand lol
When I was younger, going to my international school and then my top-20 university, I really thought my bourgeois credentials were unassailable. I believed that no matter what happened, if there was a special event arranged for "the elites", that I would at least have the opportunity to be included. How wrong I was. My seat at the table has been given away. Now, the World Cup is for Uzbek oligarchs, Algerian diplomats and Peruvian dignitaries. It's not for me. Even the England fans who are going will be management consultants and CEOs, going more for corporate networking than any actual love of football. The uneducated proles who were once so far beneath me, if they are at this World Cup, will own car dealerships and haulage companies. If I spent all my life savings, that I have worked for my whole life, I could probably follow Haiti through the group stages and then come home again, newly penniless.And it's not just me. I bet loads of us are in the same boat. There's something wrong with society itself, and this is just one symptom. But the door is closing fast on us all, and the deals will be made only by people who attend this tournament. So how can we fix things? How can justice be restored?
>>154897868>no one caresWhat would caring look like? How could we show we cared?
>>154912951oh, the greed has gone long beyond the 'its a bit expensive' stage - there are Burgers, many Burgers in fact, moaning that they can't afford to take in a single game with a random family member as that would run them five figures. And that, for one fucking game, its just not on for a tournament where fans would traditionally follow their team through what could be a months worth of games. And nobody can afford that now, not even Americans.
>>154913202It’s a free market. People willing to pay $1000 means the tickets are worth $1000. FIFA unironically did nothing wrong
>>154903446>4 time zonesBrazil also has 4 time zones, though maybe they didn't have games in all of them when they hosted.
>>154913221fuck your 'free market' desu.
>>154913202Going to be really interesting to see what the crowds look like. A lot of companies will give tickets to employees/guests but I don't think we'll see as many true fans there.
>>154913275Totally objective journalism there. Def not an opinion piece written by a raging leftist whose blood pressure rises when Trump is mentioned
>>154912742Eh I looked at hotels in Seattle within walking distance of the stadium a few months ago, and I'm not sure you're right.
>>154897868no one in america gives a fuck about soccer lolwhy would you host your soccer event in a country that doesn't give a fuck about it, seems like poor planning
>>154913460rndm burger /pol/tard, from thread on same subject about a hour ago. You tell me.
>>15490864918+*
>>154898152Yuge day for international sawker
>>154913221>People willing to pay $1000lol even our CBC is admitting there's thousands of unsold tickets for the games here, our games will probably sell out but nobody sane is paying more than like 20 bucks for new zealand-egypt
>>154913590Cant speak to LA, I didnt look at those hotels. But you managed to use a source that is mostly complaining about ticket prices, as i said.
>>154897868Americans and Canadians don't care about soccer, I bet the first preseason NFL game will get more viewers in the us than the World Cup final
>>154913590Yeah im looking at hotels in LA that overlap with games right now and this is bullshit
>>154897868Can't believe I'm finally in a WC host country and I can't afford tickets
>>154913917Canada really got ripped off. Paying hunderds of billions of your canadian rupees and in return you got games like kiribati - tajikistan.>>154913275>late-stage capitalismIt's late-post-post-meta-modern capitalism ackshually. We've supposedly been living in the last days of capitalism for well over 100 years. Any day now.
>hosting poverty ball in the one nation where absolutely no one gives a fuck about the sport
>>154914458You can keep posting this but '94 remains the most attended WC and the event has gotten serious tv viewership here the past few tournaments
>>154913369you're not supposed to deep throat the boot, migger.
Fuck soccer or football or whatever the fuck you want to call it. I've seen more video of faggy players throwing themselves into the ground in a bid to get the opposing team penalized than I care to admit, and as far as I can tell NONE of you guys care about that faggy behavior moreover you seem to garner such fucking garbage play making it part of the game. I've seen one soccer fag writhing in agony holding a leg only to bounce to his feet like nothing ever happened. You have to fucking APOLOGIZE for letting this go on.
Soccer is gay and cringe.Failed sport.
>>154914297just work harder bro
>>154914458>the one nation where absolutely no one gives a fuck about the sportWhat about Qatar?
