Our tax funded state media published an article titled "These World Cup treats are well worth the sleepless nights".

The treats are Haiti vs Scotland (kick off time in Germany 3 am), Austria vs Jordan (6 am), Uzbekistan vs Columbia (4 am), New Zealand vs Egypt (3 am), Columbia vs Congo (4 am) and Kap Verde vs Saudi Arabia (2 am).

Treats.

True football world cup classics. Match ups that the world really waited for.

Can't wait to call in at work telling them I won't show up bc I have to watch Karp Verde against fucking Saudi Arabia ...

Was it an AI generated article? That doesn't even come off as some sort of lunatic fringe leftist idpol propaganda where you need to watch brown people be big strong warriors on American soil. If I never watched football and was told these are the games I need to watch to get into the sport, I'd be looking for cricket streams before the end of the night.

Funny that you mentioned AI articles bc yesterday the chef journo of one of our bigger mainstream news outlets got sacked bc he used AI for his opinion articles. Which just happened a few days after the prime minister of Thuringia got caught writing his speeches with AI. Funnily enough he used AI to write a tearful speech about the Holocaust :story:

Anyways, I caught up with the matches. By watching highlight videos that are not longer than exact 3 minutes each bc media rights and half of the videos show either random fans in the stans, the stadion or other shit that it is not happening on the pitch so basically I saw amazing one and a half minutes of each game. Great.

This sucks. I fucking hate this timeline we live in. Everything was better back in the days.
 
Jhonny Placide is a legend. He singlehandedly destroyed Hugo Sanchez's reign as Mexico's national team manager by eliminating Mexico's U23 from the 2008 Concacaf Olympics tournament. Yes, Mexico scored 5 goals vs Haiti. They needed 6, and Placide was a big reason why.

EL ÚNICO HAITIANO QUE HABÍA! A ESE LE LLEGÓ EL BALÓN!

One of the funniest and most iconic calls in sports history.

As much as I adore Andres Cantor, I enjoy Christian Martinoli because he isn’t afraid to call out Mexico on their bullshit. The other famous call is, “Ellos si, ustedes no!” when USA bails out Mexico in the 2014 qualifiers to get Mexico into a playoff with New Zealand.
 
I was surprised how easy the group was when it was drawn. I expect them to win all their group games, all the host nations were given an easy group because I think they counted as a 1st seeded team so they don't have any big hitters in their group. I'm not even sure Canada would've qualified if they weren't hosting but they're bumped up into Pot 1.
It does kind of mess it up when there's two teams that would be in pot 2 who are now in pot 1 and one team that would be in pot 3 that is in pot 1.
Even if Canada was in pot 3, I don't think they would have been in a spot where they wouldn't qualify. There are 48 teams in this year's tournament and 32 of them move on to the next round. I bet Canada could be better than 16 of the teams that qualified this year (they wouldn't have been better than Italy though. Fuck it still hurts (:_( )

Every player that scores and make the "heart" symbol with his hands deserves to have his fingers smashed with a hammer.

So very effeminate.

THANK you. It's one of the main reasons I've always disliked Di Maria despite him being a top player in his prime. It's so gay. Probably my least favorite thing about Gareth Bale too. Only celebration worse is when Beto and Benteke copied LeBron's celebration. It's cool when a 6'8" 250 pound all time NBA player was doing it, not so much when some relegation fodder bums were doing it, and doing a poor imitation of it.

Nigger behavior.

I just like watching most of the matches I can, it is just fun to watch other teams play. To be honest watching Brazil play never gives me happiness, just anger. There is a good feeling that you can't get by watching your own nation.

Last WC I watched all matches that didn't happen at the same time, it was great fun.

Blame FIFA for giving cards for banger commemorations, even political ones. The game had more soul back then when they weren't trying to offend anyone.

Swisse got tied at the last minute. I WISH I could see their pundits seething lol
