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 instance of it I didn't know until is see a post about the winner

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.

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

World Cup in what sport?

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!

Seriously, thank fuck.

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

Not liking something like this isn't a brag... it's just one less thing you can enjoy in life. One less thing you can watch. One less thing you can talk about. Etc...

The entire world partied for a month and you're over here thinking you're better because you were too cool to join in on the fun

Nobody likes that guy that tells himself he was, "too cool" to go to the party

I'm just glad the late games are over.

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

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 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!!!

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 have a burning hatred for football and football hooliganism.

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?"

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.

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?
