Im boycotting it. Not that id follow it either way, but at least previous years Id go to a bar with friends to watch the semi-finals and final, and have a couple beers, simply to watch good football. Not this time though.

I'm for the people who will be posting dank memes shitting on the US government.

What do you like about US politics?

[-] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

why do you prefer it over football?

[-] Vanth@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

You think FIFA and the selection of the US as host isn't political?

I'm not sure I'll watch it. It will be far away from where I live and I've been losing interest for football for years now. It's just too corporate this day, imo

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 2 days ago

Corporate and fascist, not to mention the SA

Sexual assault, I think.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 2 days ago

Sexual abuse/assault

Is this related to Epstein or something else entirely?

My country did qualify (Scotland) so I'll be up for a few VERY late sessions in the pub (our first game kicks off at 2am our time!) 😁🍻😴

[-] ZiggyTheZygote@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Anyone playing against the USI.

I'll be encouraging any country playing against the USI.

Granted I don’t know much about professional soccer, but probably rooting for France?

I like the chicken on the Les Bleus jersey.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

im pretty down on professional sports in general. It feels so banal or trivial given the state of the world today. I guess anything celebratorial like that. It feels like every ticket sold is folks being. Yeah everythings fine. Now like local or school low enough to not be televised or bar bands. those are where I am at.

[-] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah exciting they're in it. First time since... uhh... France '98 I think

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yep. And we've managed to draw 2 of the 3 teams we played in that tournament (Brazil and Morocco) - what are the chances?! πŸ™„

[-] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Good matches and the health and safety of all players and spectators.

Not a fan of football.

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago

No one. Professional Football is boring. As a sport it is stupidly over sized. 5 aside is scaled better which makes it way more fun to play and watch.

Football also has too much association with unnecessary violence and hate.
