World Cup starts today!! 07:43 - Nov 20 with 870 viewsITFCson

Anyone else actually excited about the world cup? A lot of negativity on here surrounding it, but maybe that is just because those that oppose it shout louder than those looking forward to it. Every person I speak to face to face rather seem to be excited for it too.

Not really. Which is a shame, as this is a tounament where England could do well.

But I think the lack of anticipation has as much to do with the time of year as all the dubiousness surrounding this year's Cup. I'm more emotionally involved in Ipswich's progress in the League and our own cups.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

I'm not excited. More excited by Ipswich games during the domestic season. I'm sure if England, South Korea or Canada get to the QF I'll take a bit more interest.

About 50% less excited than I normally would be I'd say, but getting there and I'm expecting to get into it when it's underway. I wouldn't be surprised if this whole world cup ends up having an asterisk next to it, so it would be bloody typical if England go and win it and no one cares

Interesting, I've not spoken to a many people (can't actually think of any) who are excited about the world cup. Most of them don't even think it should be going ahead and the time of year is ridiculous.

It's not likely but there is a chance it won't finish given the way FIFA and Qatar are behaving at the moment

Yeah course I am now it’s here.

I know it’s not cool to be excited. I’ve never agreed with the choice of host nation and never will. But now it’s here I’m going to watch it.

I’ve always really enjoyed the World Cup for all the other games not involving England and it’s a gloomy Sunday so looking forward to Qatar v Ecuador today.

I imagine I'll get into it once the football starts, but in terms of pre-tournament excitement, hardly any at all.

I’ll be honest, I actually am getting very excited now the tournament’s starting but I’m maybe 20% less excited than I have been for previous world cups.

I was listening to Tim Vickery speak the other day, who’s a South American Football expert, and he said that over there the human rights record of Qatar has barely been discussed and isn’t seen as an issue, which I found interesting.

I rarely post here, so hardly one “who shouts loudest”. Today will be the first opening game of a World Cup I haven’t watched since 1970, when I was 3 and had little idea the competition was on. I have no “excitement” or interest in this World Cup (I didn’t even realise cut was starting today until Friday). Previous competitions I would try not to miss a game if possible. This one I have already lined up some non league fixtures to attend instead. To summarise: I have no interest whatsoever.
