S-Platt Posted November 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2022 Working from home so will have the games on in the background. I think a winter world cup sucks and the country its being played in makes it worse. But for the average man which I am then 4 games a day is great. The time to protest was when Russia and Qatar were awarded the tournaments. Saving up now for 4 years time USA Canada and Mexico is what it's all about.

Absolutely, can't wait until football returns. The more I see on twitter and news what they are doing out there the more it fuels my resolve not to watch it.

Xela Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I've seen about 3 hours in total so far. The pub had it on in the background! I've not gone out of my way to watch any of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I caved and finally watched a game today. **** me for choosing the England game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Still avoiding it, apart from Brazil match that was on in the pub. Can't say I'm missing it really and like others have mentioned, I'm waiting for Boxing Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Not watched 1 single minute of it and **** proud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Southgate drained what little love I had for international football away to the point I just can’t watch England play anymore … so that along with being way too busy at work means I’ve not watched any of it , not even to laugh at the welsh being humiliated maybe I’ll get into once the knockout stages start 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted November 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) Oh, jesus, yes, as much as possible. Despite its myriad flaws, it's still the most interesting and democratic and exciting sporting event on earth. Truly nothing like it.

It's Your Round Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The World Cup should be a celebration of unity and diversity. Nations coming together on the world stage to celebrate the beautiful game and the joy it brings to all people, regardless of their race, sexuality or religion. This in Qatar, this isn’t it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you agree that FIFA and Qatar are not tantamount to the sport of football as human endeavor. You don’t have to love FIFA to love and support an almost pan-global football tournament.

Mark Albrighton Posted December 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2022 So how did we all fare? I think if I added up all of the minutes of viewing together, it would amount to maybe 100 minutes. I caught the second half of the final and the penalty shootout (Sunday dinner took precedence meaning extra time was mostly missed). Last fifteen(ish) of Argentina - Australia and the last ten minutes of Morocco making Ronaldo cry made up the rest of the viewing. Have read some of the relevant threads and the ever enjoyable Southgate chat. And seen the the odd clip here and there. For the record, Japan’s goal was still in play. Sounds like people enjoyed it. That’s good. Can’t say I feel too bothered about missing it. International football just leaves me a bit cold. I’m pleased for Emi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I watched from the quarter-finals forward. Don't feel like I missed anything and watched the most important things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I missed a few of the 10am games as i wasnt up in time, but otherwise saw pretty much all of it. I did NOT book any flights with qatar Airlines though. That'll show them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 My World Cup journal I only watched a few games, I didn't go into the tournament thinking that I'd not watch the games out of some sort of moral outrage, it just so happened that mostly I didn't feel like watching, I think it was because of when it happened, this time of year just doesn't feel right for a World Cup, if it had have taken place in the summer I probably would have watched more if not the whole thing as I normally do. I will probably watch more of the Women's World Cup in the summer, not because it's better, but because that's the right time for World Cup.

sne Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I watched maybe 5% of the tournament. Fell asleep during the second half of both the semis and turned it off after the second goal in the final. Still more than any given CL season these days. Football is too broken for me to give it any time anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Not a single game, not a single full attack. I was in a pub for the England-France game to drink with a mate, but the game more or less passed me by completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 To say I didn't watch any of it, I would be lying, but I never went out of my way to watch it, except for the Argentina penalty shootouts (to see Emi in action) a few hours later on youtube. Whenever I was on night shift, usually somebody would put the games on, and I would watch a couple of minutes here and there. I never watched a full game though, because work, and the game that would happen to be on would be so batshitly boring. Yet another thing grinding my gears is the gaslighting from FIFA trying to convince everyone that this is the best world cup ever. I call bullshit, and f*** you, FIFA! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
