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.

I have a burning hatred for football and football hooliganism.

Oh fucking yes, finally i will not have it shoved on my face costantly

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.

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!!!

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?"

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!

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.

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

But.. why?

Seriously, thank fuck.

Didn't even notice it. Heard that Spain won though. Congrats to them.

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.

Nah, I'll miss it for another 4 years. It was incredibly fun, except Argentina.

And how The Netherlands got knocked out pretty early.

Next week baseketball or superb owl or some other shit will start. It never ends. Never.

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 :)

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.

I prefer female volleyball.

I'm so happy its over.

Look if you like organized sports fine. You have my vote.

But God.... I just don't care.

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:

The organization is so thoroughly corrupt that I have no interest in it. Especially because I don't like football/soccer that much to begin with
