Generally people in my experience that rarely watch sporting events much less soccer.

Then when the World Cup comes around they’re talking about it every day like they grew up kicking a ball in some favela

It’s always the Ukraine first double vaxxed types too

So obvious it’s just a virtue signal to appear worldly and cultured to others

What’s with children holding hands with players walking on the field? Seems pedo.

Me and some of my boys are the most libertarian dudes on this planet, and we fricking love soccer.

Goodbye half baked theory of the astute OP.

Because fans throw shite at players, the best chance you're going to get is when they come out the tunnel. Fans are less likely to throw batteries and debris at children.

You don't need a political view to know this.

I actually think some are hating it. It's showing the US in too good of light. People were hoping for a huge failure on our part.


Plus, none of the dudes I know watching this game are liberal. This is just another thing the left wants to own.

I guess I just don't see the point of this thread

Did we really need to politicize the world cup? It looks like it has been a success. It isn't less of a success because some lefties like soccer.

Only sports that give you CTE and leave you retarded at the end of your career are cool obviously

Well if you go onto reddit they would tell you no right wingers like soccer.


It's just a weird thing from both sides of this. It's a global game. People from all groups like it.


And I want to add everything about the world cup is political. Where they select to host it and the cities the games are in and allocation of funds is all politics.

What it doesn't have to be is a battle of American left and right.

Nobody said soccer isn’t cool. I just don’t pretend to follow it because I’m not a hive minded liberal.

Because Futbol is the sport of NWO globalism and the vast majority of people on the left are globalists.

They wanted it to go bad so they could put our country down. Simple as that. You see, Trump is POTUS and they want talking points. The left hates America and all we stand for. Most of the hate is paid for by rogue countries and fed to sheeple.

Because the rest of the world, Europe in particular, loves soccer.

You see Liberal non-sports fans get excited about it, because this lets them feel like they are bonding with the "cultured" Europeans.

This is also why they're so alarmed by Europeans having positive experience with rural and everyday American things; it's like a betrayal to them. The Germans and such were supposed to come over and recognize how enlightened Seattle is, but instead they're falling in love with Raising Canes, free drink refills, and Buc-cees.
