🚨 Rodri: “I'd like to remind you one person who has been criticized unfairly many times and he's veru special to me. Let's chant at once... FERRAN! FERRAN! FERRAN!” 🇪🇸🦈
My view so far at this World Cup:
- great atmosphere in the stadiums
- I like the DJs playing lists
- the “breaks” not my taste, but the coaches use it efficient -
so do the DJs
- the new rules make the play flow more
- love that “injured” players can’t lie down for ever
- we play more football
- VAR quicker and make it fairer
- the referees let the games flow
- the stars are delivering
- the so called smaller teams are great addition to the World Cup
- 48 teams a success
- I love the World Cup
Un match de coupe du monde se termine, tout le monde retourne à ses préoccupations
Moi entrain de scroll sur Twitter voir les avis et les blagues sur le match https://t.co/RBS3Zmr03B
World Cup is the biggest indicator of life, it’s also very easy to use to track your life, and I’m talking from a fan angle. If you’re watching your 4th World Cup, you can easily picture where your life has been in those 4 cycles.
You remember who you watched it with, the house you were in, the phone you used, the friends you had, the dreams you were chasing at that time. One World Cup you were still in school, another you were struggling to find direction, another you’re working, paying bills, growing up without even noticing it.
That’s why World Cups feel bigger than football sometimes. They come every four years, so they almost act like checkpoints in life. The gap is long enough for everything around you to completely change, but the tournament stays familiar. Same emotions, same nerves, same songs, same feeling when the anthem plays before a big match.
You can literally measure your growth through football memories.
2010? I was just a kid.
2014? Secondary school days.
2018? Different phase entirely.
2022? Real adulthood started hitting.
2026? You’re probably Married
And by the time another one comes around, you realise life never waited for anybody. Players you grew up watching are gone, new stars arrive, and somehow your own life changed just as much too.
The craziest thing about World Cup month is realizing where you were in life during the last one. Shit I still remember watching my first World Cup game ever. A 4-year gap means your job, your relationship status, your friends, and your entire life situation are completely different, but you're sitting watching a random group stage game at 1 AM on a Tuesday. Football is a time capsule.
