I think it's pretty decent to be honest, in that it's highlighting all the issues that have surrounded this World Cup. From a purely Football stand point, it's been shite admittedly, but I don't think they'd have been able to "Just talke about the football" without it feeling weird.

midds Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Got a horrible feeling this World Cup is going to be an utter shitfest. The scandals that have surrounded the whole thing from the second they won the bidding war is going to overshadow the actual football itself. The whole thing just feels way off to me, I'll still watch the games but it doesn't feel genuine at all, I just hope the games themselves aren't really dull and cagey but I think the temperatures, water breaks and extra subs will mean the games are slow and a bit turgid. It hasn't kicked off yet but I can't wait for it all to finish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A recent poll shoved that more than 25% of Danes boycuts the tournament and wont be following it on tv. Most pubs/bars around central Copenhagen are marketing that they’ll be showing the games and loads of billboards with betting companies promoting the WC. Then again, probably not representative for the population But major newspaper having it about the WC, and tons of colleagues talking about how they genuinely feel they can win it. Obviously it’s nothing compared to the Euro’s where there were fan zones and it wasn’t 0 degrees and windy as fuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 The WC is always a commercial affair at its core, but this year’s feels the most cynically capitalist and manufactured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't kicked off yet but I can't wait for it all to finish I agree but the feeling I get isn’t horrible. I truly didn’t know how it would feel when it started, but I’ve barely been engaged at all. More factors than just FIFA + Qatar. Personal stuff like my Dad not being around and so much going on in my life, other stuff like England being desperately uninspiring and being in the US, but I cannot escape the feeling that a November World Cup just doesn’t do it. As a sometime Australian, I actually quite like the idea of a “winter” World Cup in principle, but there’s been much nonsense and bullshit around from day one.

jack j Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Football wise it could end up being some of the best stuff played How many times do you hear players whinging after a long hard season that they're fucked...not happening this time round is it.

Geordie Ahmed Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Was a poor game and not helped that it was the only game of the day. Feels like tomorrow is when it properly starts, more games, more competitive and a better standard. Looking forward to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
