i think the reason non US residents are loving the world cup so much is because americans have a sense of shamelessness that isn’t really prevalent in a lot of other countries lol …..
@gizlonk@CampherDarren If you oppose the resistance to evil. You support evil. Simple math.
I'll leave the ass eating to the expert brown nosers like you.
This is going to piss some people off but I have to say it:
I HATE this World Cup expansion bullshit!
It’s nothing more than a thinly veiled DEI quota system that handed extra slots to weaker confederations in the name of continental “representation.” So the result is that FIFA has flooded the tournament with sides that simply don't belong at this level.
We've seen some predictable massacres already: Germany 7-1 Curacao, Canada 6-0 Qatar.
Neutral fans don't want to waste three hours watching some random minnows getting absolutely obliterated while the real football happens in the later stages. We want competitive football, tactical depth, and genuine drama, not charity games. Some of these teams are so bad they might as well be a Sunday league pub team XI.
Worse still, these lopsided results distort individual accolades. A Canadian striker bags a hat-trick against feeble opposition and suddenly his stats look inflated enough to compete with the game’s true greats. It cheapens the Ballon d’Or and every serious achievement in the sport.
I’d much rather see proven European nations with GREAT football traditions such as Italy, Poland, Greece etc. earning their place through genuine qualifying battles than watch these quota teams embarrass themselves on the biggest stage.
This bloated format in the name of inclusivity is diluting the World Cup’s prestige. FIFA thinks "Africa needs three more spots" or "let's throw CONCACAF another bone" and in the end? Great European and South American teams get excluded and the overall quality of the tournament just drops.
The DEI racket ruins EVERYTHING.
South Africans, please leave the rage bait and troll accounts alone. 😭 They’re farming your reactions for impressions and you’re giving them exactly what they want.
