re: Worst WC tournament ever?

Feels like no fans are there. Sterile quiet stadiums. It feels like a Covid World Cup. Which is a garbage viewing experience. It’s mainly because FOX is garbage at broadcasting sports.

While I do feel like FOX is partly responsible…what do you really expect when the entire Cup is just in one city? I’m sure they’re doing all they can but part of the World Cup’s allure is its ability to completely take over a country and make it seem like THE biggest event on the planet, which it should be. But it doesn’t.

The biggest thing, I think, for it feeling this way for some of us is timing. Almost every other WC has been in July, usually during a complete dead period in sports, in daily life where we don’t have to worry about holidays, school, work, other sports from distracting us. Because of that dead period every cable provider is pushing it, since there’s nothing else. There’s been hardly any promos done over here that I’ve seen. This board, Twitter, the entire country seemed WAY more involved and into it in 2014. Soccer certainly isn’t losing popularity but there’s just so much shite going on in November-January with sports and life shite that it doesn’t feel like it’s taking over everything like it normally does
