Even if you don’t care about it, I’ve seen like no ads for it. Usually they are playing by now and plastered everywhere. Only thing I’ve seen is shitty looking merch at gas stations and Walgreens.
Huh, now that you mention it, I don’t see much promotional merch in Japan either. They usually have stuff to support the national team for these kind of events. But I guess they wouldn’t even be able to print packages in Samurai Blue since even our potato chips packaging will soon be black and white.
Yes, it is spreads by contacts and liquids. Now imagine someone infected standing behind you in a stadion and shouting and screaming for their team. That little spittle hitting your neck can suffice to transfer Ebola…
WTF!!! World Cup is The most important event in the World. No other sport event can get close. And yes, USA (backed by FIFA) fucked World cup by introducing Half-Time Show. Nonsense.
And it’s the most embarassing world cup ever because it’s in this shithole country with a child raping president overseeing it. If there’s one wc to boycott in your life it’s this one.
Fuck the world cup. Literally nobody i know cares about it.

The lack of promotion is weird now that you’ve point it out
It is not. They sold the tickets, mostly to first level skalpers, so they are good and don’t need any more advertising.
Yeah I’ve only seen the shitty merch at airports and nothing else, and I live near a host city.
Well anything beyond ticket sales is still game.

They probably have sold all tickets to first-level skalpers (and maybe to a handful of real fans) long ago, so why waste money on advertizing?
Wouldn’t it be fucking brilliant if scalpers were left holding the bag as it were - thousands of unsold tickets!
Given the low hotel booking numbers, this might actually happen.
When is it happening? Next year?
This summer, I believe. Starting early June.
You are correct, it’s starting June 11th. That’s why I think it’s so weird there has been like zero ads I’ve seen so close to the tournament.
“The Continental Soccer Association is coming to America! It’s all here - fast-kicking, low scoring, and ties? You bet!”
“You’ll see all your favorite soccer stars. Like Adiaga! Adiaga two! Badiaga! Aruglia! And Pizzoza!”
“This match will determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on earth - Mexico or Portugal!”
Oh I love the world cup and am very excited about it… in general.
Specifically I hate that this corrupt fucking government is going to be participating in it at all.
To be fair, FIFA is almost as corrupt as Trump
Which is really saying something.
FIFA is like, world class level corruption. Sepp Blatter is the GOAT and Trump is getting close.
Watch it on pirated broadcasts.
This is a moral obligation.
I use to love it… Pretty much right up until Germany, but since then?
Russia? Qatar? Amerikkka??
Nah, I’m fucking done with FIFA, and their world peace prize
hey don’t you DARE insult the FIFA World Peace Prize
Plus with Ebola it just seems extremely not worth it right now.
Don’t forget, the US also has measels and typhus.
I’d be more afraid of ICE concentration camps. But if an Ebola infected person would attend this event, it would get interesting fast.
Ebola is not that contagious. It’s not like airborne COVID
itor other similar viruses.Yes, it is spreads by contacts and liquids. Now imagine someone infected standing behind you in a stadion and shouting and screaming for their team. That little spittle hitting your neck can suffice to transfer Ebola…
When they were still debating it I sent a letter to my MLA saying it is ridiculous.
