England will not reach the Semi-Finals. Greater chance of Sweden, Russia, Italy and Norway playing in the semis than England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably true, but England have been playing poorly so I don’t think there’s high expectations. The time of year really doesn’t help, everyone is in work and it’s pissing down and cold.

No, I don’t think they will this time. Whole thing is tainted. Of course those who care will want England to win, but most of my mates (including the ones who do) are at best indifferent this time. 16 minutes ago, geordie_b said: Nobody watching the opening ceremony? Live on iplayer atm I’m not watching it despite being awake. Won’t give SBS viewing figures for it. Bollocks to them. I’ll watch the England games when they’re on at a convenient time but I’m fucked if I’m watching owt else. I’ll normally watch c.80% of WC matches.

I do think fact it’s in November/December destroys the ”visible hype” as it’s winter time and dark for most of the day. In Denmark the hype is real, but probably has to do with the team being ridiculously good. I live in Denmark and it is certainly not my perception that there is any hype at all around this world cup. A recent poll shoved that more than 25% of Danes boycuts the tournament and wont be following it on tv. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...
