Ingram85 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Qatar and the Middle East as a whole is a **** up place. The whole world is but that part of the world is just so backwards. Then add on top the much much less important factor that Southgate/England are so boring. The squad is shite. I have no interest in it and I won’t be watching a single second of it. **** Qatar. **** FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 1 hour ago, sne said: I'll watch the odd game here and there, but I have no interest in the tournament and have not read a single article about the teams, groups or whatever. Could not name you how any of the groups look or when they play. I'm even less interested in this than I am about the CL. Obviously I'd be more invested if Sweden had qualified and we had a different manager but there is so much about this tournament to dislike that it wouldn't have made much difference. I'm not even gonna bother with the WC betting thing we have at work. Kinda feel sorry for whoever wins this championship because it will always be tainted and with a big * next to it. Usually I buy the bumper World Soccer edition of all the squads and players but didnt even look this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Just now, Zatman said: Usually I buy the bumper World Soccer edition of all the squads and players but didnt even look this year Yeah same here. Perfect for reading on the toilet. No interest this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 From a footballing perspective, it doesn't seem as exciting as previous World Cups going into it, which is strange because there are a lot of strong teams this year. Could be the timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 10, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 10, 2022 No thank you. I'm looking forward to the month off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 10, 2022 Administrator Share Posted November 10, 2022 I voted "no", but I'm not boycotting, I just have absolutely no interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted November 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2022 undecided, or simply dont care. If something better than football is on TV then wont watch the football. But if I know England is getting battered by Iran I will defo watch it just so to look at GS face, will be comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 This is difficult, as I said in the WC thread, after watching the FIFA Uncovered programme and knowing that thousands of people died to build the infrastructure for a tournament that was awarded through corruption to what is in effect a city state with no football heritage it leaves a very nasty taste in the mouth to even watch it. I don't like International football so I won't be making an effort to watch the games, but of course if England start to do well there will be a draw towards watching a game. After a month of news about the regime on terrestrial broadcasters it seems they have all put that to bed and are now looking forward to going to this country. I said I will boycott it in the poll and I intend and hope I can stick to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Won’t be watching a game, know it won’t make a difference and they won’t care in the slightest but it what it is. Won’t be telling people to turn it off if I visit and they are watching it but I won’t be putting it on myself or going to venues with the purpose to watch it etc. At least with Southgate in charge I know I won’t be missing much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I've got the first week of it off work and staying at my in laws so yeah I'll probably watch all of that as well as the England and Germany games down the pub with the father in law It'll then be the opposite for the rest of the tournament though, moving house and starting a new job so I won't mess about with it too much, probably just the night and weekend games, looks like England's knockout games will be a Sunday then a Saturday then a Wednesday (I know) so ill struggle with the semi final I'm not sure I'll watch a game in England socially, down the pub or at a mates house which will be the weirdest thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I think a lot of the games are when I'm working so yes I'll be watching a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Nope, you can **** the whole thing sky high as far as this cat's concerned. I was at the FIFA museum a few weeks back. They give you a nice little coin-token-thingy to use their lockers as you can't take bags in, which you're meant to return at the end. I didn't give mine back. Yeah, take that Sepp, Michel and Gianni, you massive words removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I’ll have it on but can’t say I’m absolutely looking forward to it like previous WCs. I’m looking forward to and hopeful on how the team under Emery mini preseason come out after it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Zero interest, and I will be very happy for it all to be over so normal footballing programming can resume. Reasons being, there are enough things happening in my life to keep me preoccupied. Another reason is my country is there simply to make up the numbers, and just as England have a shite manager in Southgate, we too have a shite manager in Graham Arnold. Graham Arnold is to Southgate as Bolsinaro was to Trump, so, he is quite crap, and he is taking a crap selection of our country's players to play in a crap tournament in a crap country. I would rather watch the American version of "The Inbetweeners" dubbed in mandarin while trying to widen my pee hole with a toothpick than watch any of it.
