Just looked at the World Cup groups ..... 23:24 - Dec 5 with 1249 viewsBanksterDebtSlave

...and having experienced a year of the Premier League I increasingly feel that I'm falling out of love with football.

Is it just me?

I'm more interested in the FA Cup draw on Monday night.

Not just you. Only heard that the draw was today. Switched over to talk sport. Heard that Trump was being awarded a special peace prize and that Robbie Williams and Village People were going to perform. Turned off immediately

Totally agree with on this one.

I am lucky enough to have come to Australia for some cricket and since I have been away I have hardly paid any attention to football back home, including Town.

Previously if I was away I would follow Town on what ever social feed I could get

Brisbane is such a cool city. Have fun down there. Many years ago I had 3 months there. Enjoy.

If I define 'football' as 'the game played on a grass pitch about 110 yards by 70 yards over two 45-minute halves', then I love it. Can't get enough of it. All the other stuff that comes with it, including travesties like last night (so I've heard - didn't watch it), absolutely agree, totally fed up with it.

I feel the same a lot of the time. It's stage managed entertainment.

The game I fell in love with has gone. I genuinely only watch Ipswich and couldn't tell you who plays for England, or any other nation for that matter. I won't be watching the World Cup.

If you’re feeling that way just from looking at the groups, it’s a good job you didnt watch the entire draw.

I thought FIFA couldnt get any worse after Sepp Blatter but they really pulled one out the bag with Gianni Infantino.

Add to that the Americanisation and it made for one of the most intolerable draws I’ve ever seen.

For me it's not just the World Cup but the crazy way that the game has evolved financially. The pinnacle in reality is for us to get promoted and scrape survival for a few years. Perhaps we would all be better off with a circus of a European super league that we could all ignore and create a more level playing field for the rest of us.

Having said that, if we don't get a result today it will still ruin my weekend. Uppa Towen, COYB.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Went to Cape Verde in 2006. Made up for them being in the World Cup.

Really don’t get these sort of threads.

Love a World Cup. It’s not all about watching Brazil.

While loving Ipswich's success and Norwich's struggles in recent seasons, the rest of football is a turn off. The Premier League is of little interest, and I don't even look at European results. I watch England matches but am not looking forward to the World Cup and probably won't watch most of it, whereas I used to take time off work to see as many matches as I can. The game is being ruined by money, expanding competitions, complexity, advertising and VAR. The World Cup draw was a new low with FIFA awarding Trump a medal.

I very much want Ipswich to get promoted this season, of course, but also would not look forward to another season in that league. On the other hand I know we cannot afford to lose parachute money so need to get promoted this season or next.

I know that a lot of people have fallen out of love with football but I absolutely still love it. The World Cup, the Euros etc.

If I’m able to and there’s a match on, then I’ll watch it over almost every other thing on the telly.

Are you saying Cardiff couldn’t be in the World Cup? That’s Welshist that is.


Lol. Actually, I’m sure Cardiff couldn’t be in the World Cup if they paid enough. FIFA seem more corrupt than ever.

Just looked at our route through the knock out stage if we top our group.

Some serious air miles. Play a team that finishes third in one of four groups in Atlanta, then off to Mexico followed by Boston, Dallas and final in Miami.
