[Football] Who’s not watching the World Cup?

[twowheelsbest]

Quatar earned the right to stage by questionable means. They have an abhorrent record on human rights, Gay relationships are illegal. I will not be watching any matches in this year’s competition ️️

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Ditto

 

[Swansman]

I'm a horrible person so I'm gonna watch most of it.

 

[Cornwallboy]

I'm a horrible person so I'm gonna watch most of it.

So am I and I imagine many of the 'I'm not watching brigade' will be watching if England progress to the quarters then the semis'

 

[Springal]

Off out in 2 weeks time for a couple of England games , looking forward to it now. Just need to try and get Argentina / Mexico tickets which we are all keen on.

I’m going to be watching but fully acknowledge all the negatives. Me not watching won’t make a single bit of difference to their domestic laws so why spite myself?

 

[Hugo Rune]

I will not watch a kick.

Whilst I permanently gave up on England a while back, I’d have followed our players (mostly Ecuador) if the World Cup wasn’t run by ****ish people in ****ish places. It’s all about money and nothing else.

I just hope our players all return in one piece.

 

[Easy 10]

I'm going to be all over it, just as I have been since 1986.

 

[StonehamPark]

I will watch as many games as I can.

Not at all a fan of the host nations policies and stance on equal rights among a wealth of other things - though I just love watching football, and I am more looking forward to watching our Albion players play for their respective teams.

 

[amexer]

The only football I really get into is watching Albion and I will watch our players in early rounds Only interest in Englands easy group games will be just keeping eye on scores. Too late now but we should have all have protested when WC was awarded to them

I suspect the "I'm not going to watch a kick" brigade might just be having a few sneaky peeks out of morbid interest if nothing else. Especially if England manage to negotiate a knockout round or 2.

 

[ozzygull]

I don’t think anyone who wants to watch it is a bad person or deserves any form of criticism.

I will not be watching any of it because of all the reasons already listed. That is my choice.

I may check the results, but I would have preferred it if we had made a statement and refused to play in it.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

A perfect chance for a few on here to convert to the greatest sport of all and get on board with the NFL. Gridiron ain't gonna watch itself.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Might watch some of it, but most certainly won't be watching a bunch of juiced up blokes in motorcycle helmets and riot gear

 

[KZNSeagull]

I will watch some of it, certainly less than a Quatar.

 

[Easy 10]

I'm just looking forward to the headlines when England win the World Cup - QATAR HEROES

Ye. Just like they probably watch a Newcastle or City game every now and then. Just morbid interest...

 

[Binney on acid]

I'll only watch it if Fred Binney gets into the England squad.

 

[Stato]

John Oliver said everything about how I feel eight years ago. FIFA are evil. They are in cahoots with a modern slave state, but they have the football. I'm completely conflicted. I shouldn't watch. I should have no part of it. I feel that I'd be letting down LGBTQ+ people that I love, but I'm weak and I will find it so, so hard to resist.

 

[Stato]

I'm going to be all over it, just as I have been since 1986.
