I’ve never been a Soccer fan but WOW I’ve watched most of the tournament and this World Cup has amazed me. Here are some things I’ve realized about the sport:
1.) Soccer is wildly physical. These players push, shove, and beat the shit out of each other & a lot of it goes unnoticed by the refs. You gotta be extremely durable to thrive on the pitch
2.) So much theater. These guys sell being “hurt” better than some of my peers in the WWE
3.) Penalty kicks are fkn insane. PK’s gotta be the most exciting/fucked thing in all of sports. Imagine being a goal keeper?? Soccer goes from team sport to individual sport QUICKLY, probably a mental nightmare for the athletes who lose on behalf of an entire country from a tiny mistake
4.) The referees can completely screw the game, the players, and entire nations with one call. That sucks
5.) This event may be the closest thing to world unity. All eyes on these athletes on the biggest stage in the world. Superstars are made. Careers forever changed
New fan 🙋🏼♂️
The idea of a phone book was actually wild when you think about it. They printed everybody’s full names, phone numbers, and home addresses in one giant book and then just gave it away for free.
A França realmente tá com um time muito forte, mas não é impossível de vencê-la.
Uma estratégia que eu acho que poderia ser explorada é a estratégia de sequestrar os jogadores.
Also, we need to stop saying South Africans are xenophobic. They not. South Africans are afrophobic because they have no issues with white and Asian migrants.
