    I enjoyed it, and usually I don’t follow league football closely at home. There are plenty of sports I don’t particularly enjoy watching, but I’ve dialed down my Edgelord ‘What’s going on with the Sports Ball?!’ schtick as I don’t think it was doing me any favors.

    I’m so happy its over.

    Look if you like organized sports fine. You have my vote.

    But God… I just don’t care.

    Now, avoid bringing international events (and money by extension) to the United States until it stops with this Republican bullshit. It needs to be cutoff and isolated. Don’t reward it for this behavior. Reminds me of this, and we all know how it all turned out:

    The organization is so thoroughly corrupt that I have no interest in it. Especially because I don’t like football/soccer that much to begin with

    They say it’s a cup, yet it is clearly participated on a field. And that field is plainly not big enough to house the whole world.

    Lies through and through.

    To be honest I’m a little sad to see it go because this has been the most I’ve seen other Americans take an interest in soccer, expanding their horizons beyond their own border a bit, and the banter between countries was fun in a way the Olympic medal farming doesn’t quite capture.

    The only reason I knew it was happening this year was because of all the shit the orange diddler was doing to meddle with it by denying/deporting refs and players, make it about himself, and outright cheating.

    Every other year of the world cup I didn’t even know until is see a post about the winner

    I enjoyed dabbling, but in the future, if they roll around and hold their foot/ankle in pain, they shouldn’t get to use that foot/ankle for the rest of the game.

    You’re clearly very injured and we insist you care for yourself.

    Same. I’m grateful our national team got knocked out pretty quickly. I was not looking forward to all the partying and noise in the streets if they’d won. Now I can just get on with my day without all the hassle :)

    Not liking something like this isn’t a brag… it’s just one less thing you can enjoy in life. One less thing you can watch. One less thing you can talk about. Etc…

    The entire world partied for a month and you’re over here thinking you’re better because you were too cool to join in on the fun

    Nobody likes that guy that tells himself he was, “too cool” to go to the party

    Yes and no here, amazingly. I don’t like football (or “soccer” as the ignorant call it). But I really liked the empty roads in the next city when our team played. That city has a very big traffic problem, and currently has to cope with 150000 extra cars per day passing through.

      You shouldn’t insult the English like that, they invented the game!
