What do you think about the Fifa World Cup .jpg

I know, not everybody is a fan of football, or soccer as they say over the pond, but all the same it's the biggest sports event in the world which takes place every 4 years. This year it is combinedly organized by Canada, Mexico and the USA. I just wonder whether Hivians care ?

Are you watching the World Cup ? What do you think about ? Do you like it ? What is your favorite Team ?

Please leave your answer as a comment below this post. Looking forward to reading them :-)

If football is on in a bar, I usually watch it. But I don't go out of my way. Though now that a World Cup is running, I'll certainly head off to a bar if England are playing. Because it's usually a good atmosphere.

However, I'm really enjoying the other World Cup...

Cricket World Cup Standings

Off to a cracking start 😁 🏏

Back in the 2000s, UK Channel 4 were showing live International cricket. Including the Ashes which is the name given to series against Australia.

They introduced slow motion replays and had expert commentary from former players. Suddenly, I understood the mysteries and I got hooked. But without that, I might still be one of the millions who just don't get it.

Of course, I'm following the World Cup.
I find it super exciting, as always.
There are very intense matches and surprises that make it even more interesting.
My favourite team is Germany, although there are several teams that are playing amazing.

It’s a major event that draws everyone’s attention to the host country. I think the biggest concern is when those in charge focus only on the money and forget about soccer, the passion, the love for the jersey, and all those things related to soccer and sports.

It’s a magnificent event—the best of the best—so I think it’s really positive.

I recall Hivebuzz organized a betting game for the Women's world cup then. I participated and it was fun. So, I was expecting same with the men. Sadly, there's none.

Well, If it's about football, count me out. Haven't watched any of the matches. May not even watch. It's as bad as that. 😂
All the same, may the best team win.

I think the vibes of the world cup are often a bit different than what we see in europe with hooligans and ultras. I actually quite like the vibes of the fans dancing and having a nice time together.

Cricket is probably a great sport but it's one of the few sports that I don't understand the rules and from what I get is that a game can last several days 😛

Ya, test matches last for 5 days or till result
But, One day is 50 overs match, so approx 8/9 hours per game
Then, its T20, 20 overs match, which is fast paced and completes mostly in 4 hours
T10, 10 overs match, completes in 2/2.5 hours (not an international format though)
100 is another format, a tournament played in UK, starts july. A little different than others

So there is variety, test matches though goes on for 5 days, its good to watch..

To be very frank, as for the game rules, i am still a learner. 😊

I watched Argentina win last night on my laptop screen with no volume, while Milwaukee Brewers baseball was on the TV! I'm a fan of Wisconsin baseball and American football-Green Bay Packers, but the World Cup is a pretty special event and I will watch some.

I regularly watch soccer so yeah I watch FIFA world cup.

My favorite team is the Samurai Blue. I like Brazil but they do not call and play their best players so I won't cheer them this time. My second favorite is the Portugal, its uncle Dodo last world cup anyway.

I am following it sporadically, from the bench !LOLZ

It is too big to be ignored, unfortunately.

Several things:

USA authorities show how their country is a racist dictatorship
hydration breaks are a hypocrisy
I really don't understand how people, aka fans, are ready to pay thousands of dollars just to participate in these hunger games, and are treated like sheep

I'm not really into soccer. I only watch one game by my country's national team, but because of their poor performance, I've lost interest—I'm not even following it anymore. Still, it's a great time to spend with family, friends, or even strangers.

I've just watched DAZN's 76 second highlight video of the England v Croatia game and that's all I've watched so far. Apart from that I'm playing the guess-the-score game on Satsman but doubt that I'll win any satoshi prizes as I've done no research on the teams' current form. I might get drawn in if England keep on doing well, but for now I'm just keeping an eye on the results.

I watched the Japan vs Tunisia game live on Sunday as it kicked off at 1pm Tokyo time. I think it might be Japan's best ever result in a World Cup, but Tunisia were poor so that's not saying much.
