What’s Paul the Octopus saying?
Currently have absolutely no plans to watch it, but we’ll see how that pans out.
England fans have arrived and are celebrating:
Nah, fuck this cup. I watch a bit but not a lot of football normally, but when the World Cup comes on I usually watch as many matches as humanly possible. This time round, I’ll be watching precisely none of it and if England win it I won’t be remotely excited about the fact.
I’m on standby this week with work so I’ll need something to do at night whilst I’m unable to sleep due to stress.
Obvious I’m ACAB at all times, but I’m just a bit conflicted when Engerland cunts are getting a pasting.
Der Postillon: the German equivalent of The Onion.
Who says Germans can’t be funny?
Me watching English football fans getting their skulls smashed in by Spanish riot police in sun soaked town squares obviously having the time of their lives - I sleep
Anything else involving the police - real shit
Seem like a great bunch o’ banter lads, though sometimes it’s a bit lost in translation
Tbf this is the only thing that makes sense.
Can’t wait for the first match, Qatar to win comfortably thanks to incredibly suspect refereeing. Might kill off any remaining enthusiasm for the tournament.
I hope they get absolutely battered every match. Which is probably likely? No way they can get through without some unbelievable bunging occurring.
Throwing this in here because it makes some really interesting points:
The gist, amongst other things, is that effort may be better placed pressuring our own government rather than Qatar. This excerpt is pretty interesting:
It’s just a baffling decision to have Qatar be the host, for so many reasons. I’ll be watching the world cup but I’ll be fucking grateful when it’s over.
They’ve got a decent enough record over the last couple of years. Imagine some dodgy reffing will. Take them to the last 16, maybe the qatarfinals!

Qatar you kidding me??
