⚽ Football | World Cup 2022

If Haaland would play for one of the perennial title contenders, he would be a formidable rival to Mbappe on that list, I am sure. He is an unstoppable force.

Baseball player in your younger years?

Six hours of deadlocked football would be SO cool?
If you say so.

You claimed the WC trophy was tacky, I’m asking you why you think so. e.g., You’re subjective opinion. I couldn’t care less about about any Bud trophy & thus didn’t ask why you think that too is tacky. But if you care to share, by all means.

This is an interesting concept.

I think it looks tacky. It’s an opinion. It resembles a golden turd.

Most trophies look tacky.

I agree lol. It looks like a kindergarten project.

Some look good.


Oscar is not bad.


Emmy is pretty good too.


BAFTA is really classy.

That Budweiser one, though. What were they thinking?

recouping their money after they could only sell near beer in the stadiums

It looks like something their marketing guys thought they could mass produce.

Yeah, the Budweiser one looks like someone picked it up from the dollar store.

My brother in law made the Coke water bottles for the world Cup in Japan / Korea. Made a fortune on a truly uninspiring design, the Bud cup looks like two plastic beer cups stacked end to end. Equally uninspiring.

So the players are outraged Qatar gets the Cup. Fifa yawns.
The national associations are outraged. Fifa shrugs.
The clubs are outraged. Fifa winks
The fans are outraged. FIFA sneers.
Human rights groups are outraged. Fifa blusters.

The sponsors start to question it: Hey, maybe it’s time to take this seriously

FIFA is just another self-fellating not in tune with reality Euro-centric wankfest of a governing body that thinks it matters. Sepp Blatter is a fat corrupt bureaucrat piece of shit Swiss (like so many others in that Nazi loving, cash swindling sit on the fence nation of indecisive yet arrogant pricks) so is there any real surprise that corruption runs so deep?

John Oliver sums it all up nicely:

These assholes would put the World Cup in North Korea if it meant fattening the wallet of Sepp.

Just saw this…
apparently North Korea did not broadcast any South Korea game until they lost to Brazil.
Quite childish really…

LOL!

Thus begins Cristiano Ronaldo’s official retirement from footballing relevance!
