Nobody wants it to be awful. But it is fucking awful before it’s started.

Train tickets to get to venues are $100, which is insanity. Hotel prices are 10x usual rates.

There’s the ticketing. Single match tickets cost more than what people pay for season tickets usually.

There’s also the fact that large swathes of normal fans from around the world are excluded from even attending, even if they could afford it.

Officials and players are being banned from entering or subject to over the top detentions.

Locals are abusing visitors by tearing down banners and flags by doing their whole “MAGA” bullshit, so they’re not making it very welcoming.

There’s the worry about violence too, it’s one of the most violent developed nations on the planet, there’s already been 284 mass shootings this year.

The stadium issue is mostly just a bit of banter but many pitches won’t be suitable for football.

It’s not a World Cup for the working class fan, people are spending tens of thousands of $€£ to attend just three matches. The World Cup should be about bringing people together to celebrate football.

Finally, the country is run by a rapist, who was convicted of felonies too. He’s recently started a needless war because of his ego. That’s cost billions of people around the world a lot of money due to daily living costs continuing to rise as a result.

The country he’s chosen to go to war with, have their team not be able to stay overnight and that’s just not a level playing field, so it’s going to affect the result, again, because of the rapist.

Hope this helps.

@didtheswanswin So in two weeks they lost to the 2025 wooden spooners then beat the 2025 premiers!

@StevieWestside_ @TRUEBLOODSPODDY @TVszandor I don’t think we have a list spot. Apparently as Hetherton is a class B rookie him being on long term injured list does not open up a list spot.

@didtheswanswin Last few weeks are reminiscent of late season 24 when we were playing great footy and just went flat. The Mongrel Punt said it, Charlie needs to lead, we can’t win the flag with midfield goals

@bwmoles Then do it with your friends on Sydney Harbour!!

Where is Hornsby? That’s in Queensland!”

Every time there's a draw, this question gets trotted out by media.

A draw is a result. No extra time needed, ever.

[Nick Potter @ns1815]

@bwmoles I hope when he went forward you shouted “what’s taking so long?!!”

[Nick Potter @ns1815]

@didtheswanswin @sydneyswans Agree, although if they’d said “you also get a shoulder reconstruction for Gulden” you may have reconsidered. Still we’re looking good, and everyone forgets Hawks lost to mid table team GWS in the first round.

[Nick Potter @ns1815]

@Peter_Fitz You are 100% right it’s an incredible story
