has anyone else totally lost interest in this summer’s World Cup? The whole roundabout/flag debacle in the summer made me lose a lot of love for my country and with the horrendous corruption of FIFA, the global rise of racism and antisemitism, the Ronaldo nonsense, the fact it’s in the USA with Trump, ice et al is making it all rather unpalatable.
I am probably being a bit dramatic but I just can’t be bothered to watch it. I’m sure i will feel differently when the time comes but I've never felt so disenfranchised with the game. |  | | |  |

Not just you. I had priority to buy any England tickets I want, but after seeing the prices I ditched that idea, and now not even sure I will watch a single minute of it - so turned off by FIFA. It's as bad as the showbiz league here (I'm still not sure why I'm wanting Town to get promoted frankly given how boring it is up there). |  | | |

Same. I watched the last one despite my misgivings, but this one may be the one that makes me give it a swerve, for all of the reasons you have mentioned. Possibly the obscene levels of corruption in FIFA being the clincher. |  |

Roll on summer. But not for the World cup.. Trump will inform us how USA invented 'soccer' and then award himself the golden boot for starters.
The FIFA president will need to be surgically removed from the Trumps butt cheeks. [Post edited 20 Feb 18:53]

....posting on a different subject than racism!
Even a post about the World Cup is punctuated by a comment about it.
It might do you good. | |

Being against racism or actually being racist?

I was under the impression that threats of violence on the internet was a criminal offence? | |

I am not looking forward to it due to the actions of Trump, the behaviour of FIFA, the expansion to 48 teams, the expansion of VAR, the advertising... I will probably just watch the England matches and a few others, whereas in the past I used to love the World Cup and would watch most matches. |  | | |

I simultaneously loathe what the World Cup has become while spending a lot of time trying to find tickets for a somewhat reasonable price. |  |

Looking forward to it. Love a world cup. Even though they have ruined the group stages that is my favourite part with all the different countries. Looks like one big party. Seeing the fans in their colours is always great. The orange of the Dutch, the green of the Irish, the yellow and blue of Sweden etc.
Always a bit disappointing when the group stages end. Feels a bit like the party is coming to an end. |  |

Yeah I love the group stages with the underdogs going toe to toe with the big guns. | |

It always seems like a tournament of 2 halves
The Group stages; a couple of matches per day every day and loads of joyous fans
Then the slightly more sombre Knock Out bit, one game only per day and sometimes a few days gap between games
Then the departures as disappointed teams head home
Maybe a metophor for life here?

Don’t really take interest until the domestic season is over tbh but do always look forward to a World Cup. |  |

I like WC/Euros when I'm on holiday. Nothing beats watching a game with a few jars in the sunshine. | |

If Scotland ever makes it to the knockout stages then you might learn to love them too. | | | |
