Seriously, thank fuck.
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!
I'm just glad the late games are over.
Next week baseketball or superb owl or some other shit will start. It never ends. Never.
superb owl
Wouldn't some superb owls tbh.
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.
wait till you see the disgrace that it is in brazil during world cup
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.
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.
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.
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? 😇
Both of them!
I always hated football too!
Then I played a football video game (PES). I like it a lot more now!
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 have a "I don't give a shit" about football but a love for hoolaganism
well, pay to fix all the destruction then.
and made me arrive on time each time football hooligans take the street and my bus has to be diverted.
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!!!"
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.
The cup is the world
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)
The game has concluded since the Queen is dead.
Nah, I'll miss it for another 4 years. It was incredibly fun, except Argentina.
And how The Netherlands got knocked out pretty early.
But.. why?
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.
Well the train service will go back to normal and several of our parks and streets won't be Fan Zones any more.
Sir, this is the United States
No it's not
I'm a woman and I live in Canada, maybe that explains it.
As a man from the United States, I've never heard of such things. Canada? Woman? What sorcery is this
The memes were cool and all, but I definitely didn't have a team to cheer for, personally.
I'm not sure I'd notice
Yes and no here, amazingly. I don't like football (or "soccer" as the ignorant call it). But I really liked the empty roads in the next city when our team played. That city has a very big traffic problem, and currently has to cope with 150000 extra cars per day passing through.
(or “soccer” as the ignorant call it).
You shouldn't insult the English like that, they invented the game!
