@JoeMerrick The button layouts are so clearly NOT built with a phone screen in mind. The ‘back’ button during battles is ridiculously tiny and poorly placed

@cagiago_ Just you

@AlexiLalas Won’t someone think of the poor advertisers!

@coupedumonde07 The chaos makes it more entertaining—same reason March Madness>NBA Finals

@CybertronVGC Can’t believe Brunson got that double protect for the game winner

@lfitzmaurice Spot on take

[SoibaVacuru @TrapBridger]

@VanLathan home games in. Curucao made its first World Cup—a nation that’s whole population could fit into a couple of these stadiums. Cabo verde makes an appearance.

The group stage is the chance for cinderellas as really only one of 4-6 top teams will win it all.

[SoibaVacuru @TrapBridger]

@VanLathan 8 third place teams in their group will advance. (Basically it’s several weeks of games to only eliminate 16 teams of 48).

On the other hand, the new format has let more nations join the party. Will any make a splash? Haiti gets to play for a nation it hasn’t been able to play

[SoibaVacuru @TrapBridger]

@SuperNes64PR @VanLathan First most compelling story—before we get close to a team winning it all—is how the new 48 team (previously 32) group stage will go down with fans.

Many people are concerned it’ll water down the group stage, with more lopsided matchups, and less drama as, for the first time

@VanLathan Mexico has a player who’s nickname is ‘Hormiga’ (Ant 🐜)

@cheekfaceREAL @Spotify @spotifyartists Think how much better Cheekface’s home grown facts would be compared to AI slop too
