                      You think FIFA and the selection of the US as host isn’t political?

                      I’m not sure I’ll watch it. It will be far away from where I live and I’ve been losing interest for football for years now. It’s just too corporate this day, imo

                                      My country did qualify (Scotland) so I’ll be up for a few VERY late sessions in the pub (our first game kicks off at 2am our time!) 😁🍻😴

                                              Granted I don’t know much about professional soccer, but probably rooting for France?

                                              I like the chicken on the Les Bleus jersey.

                                                Good matches and the health and safety of all players and spectators.

                                                Not a fan of football.

                                                  im pretty down on professional sports in general. It feels so banal or trivial given the state of the world today. I guess anything celebratorial like that. It feels like every ticket sold is folks being. Yeah everythings fine. Now like local or school low enough to not be televised or bar bands. those are where I am at.

                                                          Im boycotting it. Not that id follow it either way, but at least previous years Id go to a bar with friends to watch the semi-finals and final, and have a couple beers, simply to watch good football. Not this time though.

                                                            No one. Professional Football is boring. As a sport it is stupidly over sized. 5 aside is scaled better which makes it way more fun to play and watch.

                                                            Football also has too much association with unnecessary violence and hate.
