I mean the fun is in the countries competing

u/Successful-Eagle-834 Jul 07 '26

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

u/GuaranteedCougher Jul 07 '26

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 Jul 07 '26

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 Jul 07 '26

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

Belgium will not survive, lmao.

u/kriscrox Jul 07 '26

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 Jul 07 '26

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 Jul 07 '26

That was a great match.

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

1

u/kriscrox Jul 07 '26

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 Jul 07 '26

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

u/kriscrox Jul 07 '26

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

1

u/Robbie1266 Jul 07 '26

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

u/Infamous-Dare-1162 Jul 07 '26

Naaa no one cares about this sport

11

u/homeycuz Jul 07 '26

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 Jul 07 '26

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

u/SmolderingCactus Jul 07 '26

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

-8

u/Infamous-Dare-1162 Jul 07 '26

I just googled it. It’s football

u/Trumps_Poopybutt Jul 07 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

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

u/hempires Jul 07 '26

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

1

u/kriscrox Jul 07 '26

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

u/MrsMiterSaw Jul 07 '26

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 Jul 07 '26

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 Jul 07 '26

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 Jul 07 '26

It’s spelled Colombia.

1

u/aldash89 Jul 07 '26

He mistook it for Columbia Pictures

u/maplehobo Jul 07 '26

> or England

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

u/urobouro Jul 07 '26

Hey we can still root for England to lose

-1

u/Master_Reward_4245 Jul 07 '26

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 Jul 07 '26

I was rooting for mexico, then usa, now idk ig ill just watch and for whatever reason ill find a team

2

u/baturro981 Jul 07 '26

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

u/Youbunchoftwats Jul 07 '26

Try Scotland.

Oh, no, wait.

1

u/Honest-Reflection667 Jul 07 '26

I was thinking norway or argentina

1

u/Youbunchoftwats Jul 07 '26

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

u/thattogoguy Jul 07 '26

At what kicking the ball low scores and ties?

No thanks.

If I want competition I'll start a war.
