    Soccer is insipid. I’ve been to pro games, played the video games, played with friends, and it’s all the same. The best part about going to a stadium was the beer that I could’ve had at home watching literally anything else. I don’t find any of it interesting save for the random penalty shot that kind of raised the stakes. But honestly, who cares.

    And now I have the World Cup threatening to make my evening commute a living hell and I’ll get to listen to my neighbors scream at the TV for a few days. Oh boy, can’t fucking wait.

      I can’t really disagree with any of that. But I did enjoy playing back in school, and then women’s Olympic soccer is way better to watch than men’s IMO (they play hard, and don’t fall down and fake injury at the lightest bump).
