Fuck no. I’m boycotting the shit out of that event in every way possible. I’ll just watch Villa reruns of them winning Europe

Nope, I plan on going out of my way to make sure I have exactly 0 exposure to that crap.

i don’t even have to work that hard to avoid it. there’s no soccer here. there aren’t many that follow it. the local school doesn’t field a team, there isn’t a youth soccer program either. it’s either hockey season or conditioning-and-training for next hockey season.

People are just jealous they didn’t win the FIFA peace price. So am I. Fuck FIFA.

Cafe Diplomatico is such a good spot, too. Will definitely be watching some games from there.
