Why is there no hype around this WC? Everyone that I talked to irl and online seems to not give a shit about it. Could it be the flop of the century?
a lot of football fans i know only care about their club team, they don't care about the national team for whatever reason. also there's more cynicism surrounding football with the money and corruption etc.game's gone
48 teams ruined the sense of specialness just making it to the tournament had. It used to be a reward just to be there
its not just the world cup, there hasnt been much hype around niggerball for years
watching friendly match of Japan vs Iceland right now.how do I enjoy watching this sport if its 0 - 0 for 1h and half hour into the game?
>>154947539Not watching curacao play haiti, lil niggafuck off
>>154947688friendly matches are only interesting if there is something at stake. like if we are playing sweden or something. who is japan's rival; china or korea? i imagine you have no relationship with iceland.
>>154947653Olympiad has almost 200 delegations and the sense of specialness remains
>>154947539I don't care about soccer anymore
>>154947720our rival would be either china or korea but they are so far below our level now and it's not really enjoyable anymore.guess I'll stick to watching major league baseball...
>>154947539It's 2 weeks away and football is non stop now, it'll pick up
>omg le heckin hype is dead brosWhy does this fucking thread need making every day?
>>154947902it's needful
>>154947780Not even remotely the same thing macacoOlympics are supposed to have a huge amount of competitors because they're a celebration of sport and the human limits, most Olympians will only appear at once Games so they go all out to do whatever they can>>154947902Probably the line FIFA shills are being told to use lel
>>154947539I got the football fatigue
>>154947539>White Countries have foreign mercenaries playing for them instead of their own Ethnic Players>Why no interest?!?!?!?Keep gas lighting, fifa, all the National Unions, the world cup itself will collapse and disappear along with the rest of the nwo, european union, united states, united kingdom and pissrael when the banking system that funds it all collapses later this year.
Hype will build at weekend it starts. Thats when media is reporting on it and fort me personally no hype before first matches but then im in.
>>154947780Easily the lamest "ackshually" of the day
>>154947539>>154947629game's gone
>>154947539I am happy for this. My birthday falls in the period when matches will be held here. If no one gives a shit about the world cup, then there won't be overpriced shit everywhere.Soccer is a lame ass sport anyway. Boxing is much better and we actually tend to excel at it.
>>154947967Why would fifa shills shit on the wc?
>>154947539One week and two days actually.
I live 30 minutes from one of the host stadiums. Not looking forward to all of the traffic and extra people. Team USA sucks anyways.
>>154950453ofc its a spic
>>154952330what is this even supposed to mean
>>154947539Qatar WC turned the game into a farce
>>154948423lol irony
>>154947539all players look the samehard to tell them apart
>>154947539Group Stage is a joke.Round of 32 is a waste of time.If they keep this format they should make those parts free.>>154947688Now imagine 40 more matches of just this. I sure hope people get the memo and don't pay for shit so they lose profit and go back to the original format.
>>154950453If I were a euro I'd rather attend the Mexican hosted games than the American. Good chance you'll get price gouged >>154952388Triggered his inferiority complex. You know how the Euro-Africans roll.>>154947796It's futbøl
>>154947539I'd shag the pair of them (if you know what I mean)
>>154947539will be boycotting this one; thank you very much
>>154953665Noice!
>>154953665
Soccer is gay and dying.
>>154947902It’s literally free (You)s. Some people are addicted to that.
>>154947539>Why is there no hype around this WC?What you expect? 50 world cup threads and 5 different generals 2 weeks before it even starts? The hype will come when it actually begins.
>>154947539I hate every single country that has a realistic chance of winning, I hate FIFA and I hate CBF, I hope the US frauds their way into a world cup
>>154947539I stopped watching floydball after covid
hype is on tiktok
This is why we should ban a*stralia from playing in America
>>154947539I am pretty sure people will watch. The event is too big to fully bomb. It will likely get good market shares, though not quite as good as you'd expectBut many of the people who will watch are fatigued or fed up in some way. What is there to be hyped for? The format sucks, the hosts aren't exactly looking inviting, and football itself is as lopsided, commercialized, and corrupt as never before. And never before has the game been less unique in terms of approaches and origin storiesAlso, Europe in general is in a bit of malaise
>>154947780>Olympiad has almost 200 delegationsWatching olympics of 1934 to WM 2026 is similar.
>wanted to go to Japan vs Sweden>look up tickets>$700 plus dollars + price hiked hotel + tipsheeeeeiteven the only good local game we have is almost $400 + parking for Australia vs Paraguay
Because it has no stars.All the euro teams have mercenary ngubus playing for them. It's souless. No pride, no passion, only consoom.it's just one big ad for corporations not a sport anymore
>>154947653It's not the 48 teams, it's the fact that most people won't be able to attend due to outrageous ticket prices, crazy visa practices, etc.I think some of the Iranian team was going to be barred or might be because of the current war Israel/US started. If FIFA wants to apply the same crap to Russia, apply it to USA. Should have not been hosted in the US.
>>154947539JUST look how frenly the Burgers are being:>DO NOT go near the stadium or you'll be shot>DO NOT try walking there or you'll die>IF you survive all that, a gator will probably ate you>BTW, Hurricanes>PS plz remember to Tip.
last world cup was complete dogshit and the fact that it's in 3 countries makes it worse.
>>1549612843 countries would be fineJUST the fact that one of them is your dear fren and neighbor who isn't Greenland is the problem.
>you got to experience the last real world cup
>>154947539Football as a sport is fucking dead.Club football are just the same rich teams that win over and over again and a bunch of farm teams that only exists to develop players for the handful of the richest teams.National teams are full of foreigners so all national identity has been lost.Every player does their best to dive at every slightest touch and waste time at every possible moment.Every team only cares about ball possession so they only play short passes to the side and back and wait for a mistake.
>>154961386>National teams are full of foreigners so all national identity has been lost.No they are not.You need to be a citizen to play.You're just mad with the existence of jus soli and naturalization.You're mad with Isak (and people that look like him) being you co-national, it's not just about your soccer squad.
I have noticed that no one seems to remember the 2018 cup, like if it was erased from people's mind. Was it really that shit?
>>154961332Ya 2006 was peak
Why aren't there exciting national teams anymore? All these teams are boring as fuck.
Good, I hope it stays that way, don't know what countries are playing at my city but please don't come here, traffic is already a bitch and public transportation is horrible here so don't bother
speaking for many canadians, we arent excited due to soccers association with hooliganism, nationalism, and white supremacy.hope that answers your question
>>154961418>Russiaits been the -blatantly- biggest briber as host since 2018, and the tournament reputation overall has suffered.Yours (2014) was maybe the last not to be outright bought, it just leaves a bad taste.
