I enjoyed it, and usually I don't follow league football closely at home. There are plenty of sports I don't particularly enjoy watching, but I've dialed down my Edgelord 'What's going on with the Sports Ball?!' schtick as I don't think it was doing me any favors.
They say it's a cup, yet it is clearly participated on a field. And that field is plainly not big enough to house the whole world.
Lies through and through.
At least Trump won the game! Spain on the other hand... Terrible people. Terrible. Rapists and murderers. But they are winners when they get to stand in the man's presence. /s
Does that mean we all... lost the game?
(le 2008 meme fedora tip)
I have a burning hatred for football and football hooliganism.
Ugh, especially the hooliganism. People are way too mild on the hateful competitivism it breeds in fans and the millions it costs for demolishing our cities.
I dont watch it but I did appreciate seeing so many people happy and enjoying something. I think the world needed that little break. Anyway back to regular programming, millions dying in Ukraine and war in the middle east pushing us closer to economic depression.
Oh fucking yes, finally i will not have it shoved on my face costantly
It's overdone. I really don't need drinks and food branded by FIFA.
That was pretty invasive I must say. Even at the grocery store, everywhere I looked it was FIFA on deodorant, cookies, cans of soup, flags, towels, napkins, shorts, hot dogs...etc., etc., ad infinitum. Sheesh!
The only reason I knew it was happening this year was because of all the shit the orange diddler was doing to meddle with it by denying/deporting refs and players, make it about himself, and outright cheating.
Every other year of the world cup I didn't even know until is see a post about the winner
My mistake was only watching the final game live. Turned out to be a real snoozefest, with very, very few even mildly exciting moments.
How bad was it? Spain had 12 shots on net. Argentina had 0. Zero.
I think that any other game in the tournament would have been better to watch.
To be honest I'm a little sad to see it go because this has been the most I've seen other Americans take an interest in soccer, expanding their horizons beyond their own border a bit, and the banter between countries was fun in a way the Olympic medal farming doesn't quite capture.
Yep. For all the corruption, it's just awesome to see people celebrating together over and over. So fun.
I fucking hate football, a bunch of morons running on a field with a ball and get millions for that while i work my ass for a few thousand, fuck off and the the constant questions "did you see the game yesterday", no i don't WATCH FUCKING FOOTBALL!!!
You sound a bit stressed, maybe you should go outside and kick a football around to relax.
Not even the highlights? 😇
I'm going to miss getting to annoy my English, Bosnian and Croatian colleagues by calling it "The Big Soccerball game"
And asking "why the players don't just pick up the ball and run with it.. that would be faster".
Or lastly "When is someone going to throw a pie to make this more interesting?"
"You know what would make this more interesting... MULTIBALL!!!"
Seriously, thank fuck.
Didn't even notice it. Heard that Spain won though. Congrats to them.
Spain? That can't be right. I heard England was doing well. Who does Pele play for? Can anyone recap it for us?
Alright, so Japan played Brazil with Hatsune Miku on the line and lost. Then Brazilian Hatsune played Norway and lost. Then Norwegian Hatsune played England and lost. Then English Hatsune played Argentina and lost. Then Argentinian Hatsune played Spain and lost. Now Spanish Hatsune Miku is the ultimate winner.
Next week baseketball or superb owl or some other shit will start. It never ends. Never.
superb owl
Wouldn't some superb owls tbh.
But.. why?
Well the train service will go back to normal and several of our parks and streets won't be Fan Zones any more.
Bunch of millionaires rolling around once they get bumped, acting like they broke their leg in half. Run by a corrupt organization that ignores human rights and puts up ads on every flat surface in the world.
I also think it's a dumb sport but that's beside the point.
the world cup being in the front page news far longer than it shouldve been, usually it just squirrels back to sports centric media/and forums.
Same. I'm grateful our national team got knocked out pretty quickly. I was not looking forward to all the partying and noise in the streets if they'd won. Now I can just get on with my day without all the hassle :)
Nah, I'll miss it for another 4 years. It was incredibly fun, except Argentina.
And how The Netherlands got knocked out pretty early.
I enjoyed dabbling, but in the future, if they roll around and hold their foot/ankle in pain, they shouldn't get to use that foot/ankle for the rest of the game.
You're clearly very injured and we insist you care for yourself.
Depends tbh, there are injuries you can get which hurt a lot for a few seconds but you are quickly fine enough to carry on after. Fallen off a bike before and it really fucking hurts. Then a few minutes later cycling along again and it only hurts a little bit.
I prefer female volleyball.
Now, avoid bringing international events (and money by extension) to the United States until it stops with this Republican bullshit. It needs to be cutoff and isolated. Don't reward it for this behavior. Reminds me of this, and we all know how it all turned out:

I'm so happy its over.
Look if you like organized sports fine. You have my vote.
But God.... I just don't care.
