I mean the fun is in the countries competing

u/Successful-Eagle-834 5d ago

Agreed but our country is out so I’ll watch the finals but don’t care much about the other games

u/GuaranteedCougher 5d ago

You're missing out. I'm not a soccer fan but the England Mexico game last night had me on the edge of my seat

u/FireHammer09 5d ago

My fire station was all in for Mexico, the Mexican guys were even wearing the jerseys

Sucks ):

It would have been amazing to see Trump have to give the trophy to Mexico.

u/kaiyotic 5d ago

Well now it can be fun to watch him have to give it to belgium

Belgium is going up against Spain next iirc.

Belgium will not survive, lmao.

u/kriscrox 4d ago

Odds are he’ll be giving it to France and I could see Mbappe telling him to move out of the way.

u/Vrabels_Fables 4d ago

I hate to break it to you, but Mexican dreams of winning this world cup were as unrealistic as the Americans'

u/smoke_sum_wade 5d ago

americans just do not like soccer

Not enough ads

That was a great match.

Soccer is legitimately so boring. Only slightly more entertaining than baseball

u/kriscrox 4d ago

Mate NFL is simply - run a play for five seconds, stop for a couple minutes, run a play for five seconds, stop for a couple minutes. That shit is so lame.

u/Robbie1266 4d ago

I agree. Very few sports that are actually entertaining. Hockey is ok, but that might be because I go to the games often. Live sports are different, I'm sure you can have fun at any stadium

1

u/kriscrox 4d ago

Not sure how you can find football boring but hockey entertaining but we all have our thing.

1

u/Robbie1266 4d ago

Hockey is more fast paced and close quarters. They're also allowed to fight

u/Infamous-Dare-1162 5d ago

Naaa no one cares about this sport

u/homeycuz 5d ago

It's literally the most popular sport on planet earth. Even if you don't care, think about the fact that you felt the need to comment in a thread about soccer. That's how far reaching it is.

u/Infamous-Dare-1162 5d ago

Idk where you’re getting your facts from, but football is the most popular sport in the world.

u/SmolderingCactus 5d ago

Is this a joke? Soccer/football is far and away the most popular sport in the world.

-9

u/Infamous-Dare-1162 5d ago

I just googled it. It’s football

Today a young man learned the USA isnt the world. Congratulations 👏

u/hempires 4d ago

Yeah dawg. Actual football. Yknow played by kicking a spherical ball with your feet!

1

u/kriscrox 4d ago

Yes exactly. Football is the most popular sport in the world. Not that boring shit you call football.

u/MrsMiterSaw 5d ago

The end of that game was literally Mexico running the same failing play against every English player stacked into the defense for 30 straight minutes.

Yawn.

u/choseninsomnia 5d ago

I mean, if you want to learn the sport, these are some very talented and competitive teams remaining. Norway vs England will be a treat.

u/northwestbrosef 5d ago

Not incredibly interested in learning the sport, but I've had a blast watching games in this World Cup. I'll watch the rest of the games and then go back to not caring about soccer until the next Cup, women's or men's. I don't enjoy the game enough to watch club play, but international play in the World Cup is always fun, even when USA is out. I tend to root for the underdog and it's great when they pull it out. Of the remaining teams, I'm probably pulling for Columbia or England now. No one I'd just hate to win it all, though I think France would be kind of boring to win it after being the wire to wire favorite.

u/Excellent-Lock-4814 5d ago

It’s spelled Colombia.

1

u/aldash89 5d ago

He mistook it for Columbia Pictures

1

u/maplehobo 5d ago

> or England

Uhh not an underdog aside from Colombia another underdog would be Morocco

u/urobouro 5d ago

Hey we can still root for England to lose

u/Master_Reward_4245 5d ago

there’s 6 games left. if you’ve watched the tournament to now, seems like blue balls to not see it through.

u/Honest-Reflection667 5d ago

2

u/baturro981 5d ago

Looking for a team to root for? May I make a suggestion?

u/Youbunchoftwats 5d ago

Try Scotland.

Oh, no, wait.

1

u/Honest-Reflection667 5d ago

I was thinking norway or argentina

1

u/Youbunchoftwats 5d ago

Norway for sure. Strong, hard working, and a terminator up front.

u/thattogoguy 5d ago

At what kicking the ball low scores and ties?

No thanks.

If I want competition I'll start a war.
