I've watched a lot more of this World Cup than any other,
it helps not having to get up at 3AM to watch a game
It also helps as it IS sports and presents an alternative to WNBA games.
Aside from Beisball (sic), the rest of TV hasn't come anywhere close to being the olde (sic) Must See TV that went with the wind.

The extremes that are pushed by both sides
Here we fricking go.
Just stop it.
There is NO “right-wing”extremism. Especially NOTHING that comes CLOSE to what you call “left-wing” “extremism”.
If you disagree with me, then let’s see it. There ought to be plenty of it because if it was out there, it would be plastered all over everything.
This is the new virtue signaling.
And it is fricking pathetic. So stop it.

I remember before this World Cup started how America haters were predicting this World Cup was gonna flop.

Watched 4 soccer matches for the first time ever. Two for my Wife's Korean team and two of the US matches. My wife was the entertainment as she went bananas.
Overall, I find the game itself boring, but I guess for a lot of countries that pretty much is the only big game in town.

Foreign World Cup fans have fallen hard for ranch. So hard, in fact, that airport shops have started stocking bottles of Hidden Valley Ranch past security because fans were trying to fly home with it. The TSA even had to remind travelers that ranch counts as a liquid and larger bottles cannot be stored in your carry-on.

This is a thing. When I lived in the UK, whenever I’d go back to the US, my British friends would always request more ranch packets. If I put that out for dipping, they’d hover over the veggie tray and inhale it all.

Sour cream (or its fermented dairy cousin, smetana) is an absolute staple across Central and Eastern Europe. It serves as a primary condiment in countries like Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.
It's crazy how countries differ in things as simple as condiments.

I’ve read somewhere that North America is basically the only option for 2038 due to FIFA continental gap rules. Asia, Europe, S. America and Africa are ineligible to host.

My grandfather used to judge a team purely by how they walked out of the tunnel, and honestly there was something to that instinct. But numbers add a layer instinct alone cannot reach. This tournament I've been leaning on LINK for predicted lineups and head to head records before every big fixture, and it's changed how I talk about the game with my son. Over 2,000 competitions worth of data sitting behind one interface means even the smaller nations get proper statistical attention, not just the usual favorites. Expected goals numbers, in particular, have a way of confirming or quietly contradicting what your eyes told you at half time. Some things never change, but how we understand them clearly can.
