Why Do You Love The World Cup + Do you have world cup fever yet?

whos goin to brazil?


for many years i wanted to go but with the recent happenings and i hear how expensive it is on top of being dangerous and a very huge country....im thinkin of sitting this one out. Each team will play in 3 different cities so u have to travel in between, could be as long as 4 hour flights and surely it'll be expensive.

 

I personally still prefer the Euro Cup.

 

why? cuz its the cup!

you can spend millions building a club team, but for me this tournament has more meaning more passion! It's a world wide showcase of talent, almost any team can spring a surprise. Which team can build the chemistry and get on a hot streak. And it wouldn't be a world cup without controversy or debate over the referee or player call ups.

 

for bigger nations that have a good team historically it might not be a huge deal but for most other countries who are trying, its a great show case of talent and a great hope to get picked up by other famous european teams. Alot of new players get discovered in this stage so its definitely needed for the game of futbol.

 

Ya, but the next 2 world cups after Brazil are in Russia and Qatar. I don't see myself visiting those countries lol.

 

i know...thats my dilemma too. i could do russia perhaps but Qatar is just beyond stupid. it will prob be moved somewhere else

 

As much as I would like to see it be moved away from Qatar, I highly doubt it would. I believe their already building the stadiums, for the event.

 

well they have enough money to pay for 3 world cups and they willl build the stadiums and have their own world cup if they dont get this one lol

key is for big companies and leagues to put pressure and not go by their rules

 

I don't know if I have the fever, but I am feeling sick to my stomach. The national team defense is total garbage, our midfield is slow and predictable and our attack produces few goals despite all Prandelli's rhetoric about being more offensive. I am really beginning to fear a first round exit. However, even if they make it out of the group stage, this campaign will be looked on in disgrace unless the trophy is brought home. After that record ass-kicking Spain gave us, not even a sparkling semi-final appearance will mean squat.

Ha! Imagine if you will, the 2nd longest running coach, on the 2nd winning-est national team, and all he has to show for it is a record loss. At the very least, if Italy fails to win, hopefully some will see the light lost here, because only the most hard-headed greaseballs (Or kids that don't understand shit) will still live on in denial after that. Hopefully, I am wrong and Italy wins because after all the lost opportunities in the 90's and early 2000's, I'd hate to think that we learned absolutely nothing!

 

Loved it since I was a child. At that time it was clearly THE sport event. Still like it even if there are too many teams, it is sometimes played in strange country, it has lost some flair since the most important southamerican payers are all in europe. But anyway yes, it's strange but this year I feel it more than the last edition. One of the reason I'm here, to read something about world football and have a laugh about some people's strange view of the game. I mean, 8 years ago the idiocies on Zidane's Headbutt and the penalty against Australia were really humorous...

 

Best tournament in sports

FU ECL fanboys! World Cup is the king.

 

Oh, and I hope they bring vuvuzelas back

BBBBBB BBBZZZZZZZZZBBBBBBBZZZZZZZBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZ

"Ooh nooooo. Those nasty people are making the Dolby surround sound speakers on my 60" plasma make a annoying noise. Why can't everybody in the world act just like Western Europeans do? Why?....sob"

 

is this world cup even gonna happen? all i hear are bad stories and how shit is half done lol

 

Of course it is.

Always get horror stories before world cups held outside of western europe

 

Massive World Cup fever here, it pretty much started when they did the draw and has been intensifying every day.

Not only do I love the World Cup, I also love the run-up to the World Cup. The friendlies, the squad selection, the articles, the stories, all of it will fascinate me in the next months. And I hope the Azzurri make us proud. Some of my best memories growing up are from World Cups where Italy played beautifully and gave us glory of one kind or another. I think this can be another World Cup like that.

 

Italy play Spain again in March

I fear people are going to look too much into the result no matter which way it goes. I really hope they don't try and start finally taking friendlies serious b/c it Spain and someone gets hurt b/c of it.

As far as why I love the world cup, its mostly about the connection I have, watching them with my dad.

I'm also starting to feel a little better about Italy's chances but don't think they can win it. The best they can do is bring back some honor to Italian football after the decline of serie a and the record loss Prandelli brought us.

 

What the hell is the point of that friendly? FIGC, what a bunch of clowns.

 

Spain scored four against Italy, but what if Domenico Berardi scores 4 against Spain!?!

If that happened, I would definitely be diagnosed with some serious World Cup fever!!!

 

you are so stuck on that game.....italy played 10 men, its not fair to say it ended 4-0 when they werent full force

italy also beat germany 4-1 in a WC final, u think they're still b*tchin about it? and germany never beats italy
