-Alemania
-Turquía + país balcánico
-Brasil
-Argentina + país Latam
-México
-Japón + país asiático
-Algún país africano cada mucho

Qatar World Cup was so much more friendly for football fans compared to this upcoming World Cup in the United States, Canada in Mexico.

@04gully They are ruining the WC on purpose. They know it.

[Simply Mdawini 🪤 @SimplyMdawini]

120 000 people yelling "defense, defense" + a marching band (proudly brought to you by [insert corporate sponsor name here]) isn't that impressive.

Try South American "barras bravas" or Balkan & Eastern European ultras. Pyro shows, tifos, bouncing stadia, ear shattering song...

@MelissaReddy_ Does he appear in yhe Epstein files?

A World Cup primarily held in the US is bad for many reasons but the worst might be having to deal with Americans' opinions on a sport they fundamentally do not understand

@F1torobravo @NorwichMatt Who cares about revenue. We,re talking about emotion

⚽️ | Algunos periodistas africanos reciben visas de entrada única a EE. UU., lo que significa que si su equipo viaja a jugar a Canadá, no pueden regresar a Estados Unidos.

@LALACMSEA They act as if they were enjoying something. They live as if they were the main character of a high school film

Qué ladilla tan infinita hacer el mundial en varios países…

Q tanto les cuesta un solo país, preferiblemente uno que le llame fútbol al fútbol y que tenga la capacidad adecuada en estadios y hospedaje.

Cero maricoteo, 32 selecciones, gol de oro y perros a cagar!

@willjohnsonbf1 America in a nutshell. Hilarious is short

[Boya @bartolomerulli]

EEUU revisando a jugadores de futbol como si fueran delincuentes, no dejaron entrar a un árbitro africano elegido mejor árbitro en 2025 y lo mandaron de vuelta a Estambul en el avión que había llegado, Irán no puede alojarse en el país anfitrión. NO HAY QUE JUGAR EN ESA DICTADURA

[potrero-stats @PotreroStats]

Mira que enbole eso. A que van si no es a alentar? Quien invento a EEUU, el diablito?

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

As a part-American, allow me explain the difference. I have been to many sporting events all around the USA, and of course, many in the UK and in Europe (because Aston Villa are massive).

For Americans, sport is about entertainment. Big scores, no draws. What happens on the pitch is almost secondary to the performance. Hence pop songs between every play, all kinds of mascot and cheerleader shenanigans, the Armed Forces shenanigans before kick off. This vid was taken at Purdue at half time when they were getting absolutely pumped by Notre Dame. Embarrassing defeat: doesn’t matter, the show must go on.

For Brits, football is something more existential. The seemingly unprompted unison chants, the camaraderie, the explosion upon scoring a goal… nothing in US sports matches it. Not even close. The old grounds and history are part of the charm. I wouldn’t swap battered old Villa Park for any of the US sports arenas I’ve visited.

That doesn’t mean both aren’t a splendid day out, and I love my IU, Colts and Cubs, but the American sports experience does not come close to the British football experience for sheer emotion and spontaneity - EXCEPT in finals, when the jeopardy and tension is on a par.

@CarlosMaslaton que opinas?

The World Cup starts this week in North America, and Channel NEIN has the inside scoop from the United States.

[potrero-stats @PotreroStats]

@diegowahnon @lucasllach Bueno, es injusto para los 24 que hacen las cosas bien. Estan jugando un mundial, injusto es también clasificar 1ro de grupo y perder en 16vos de final contra unos mediocres que meten el bondi atrás y ganan en penales. Pero bue, seguimos promediando para abajo
