Why do people think FIFA is favoring Messi and how are World Cup draws decided?
Can either you explain why everybody's saying Argentina's cheating or why FIFA's cheating for Argentina? That's the shit I don't understand because I watched the game and I didn't see the cheating.
So basically, if Messi's playing in the game, more people are going to watch. FIFA makes more money. So the theory from the people that don't like Messi is they're like, oh, they rigged the last World Cup for him. They had a controversial win versus the Netherlands, and they got some calls going their way, and Messi makes it all the way to the final in this big, amazing final. Penalty kicks, awesome. They're running it back. Messi, it seems like Argentina has a very easy bracket through the round of 32. Who chooses the bracket? Like FIFA?
Is it like some... It's a random draw. Random draw?
It's a random draw for the group. And then in the brackets, it's all pre-scheduled. So like the winner of this group will play the third place. But it's not like the lotto shit where it's like the ball and they take it out? It's lotto for the groups. They do like a drawing based off country to get a bunch of different countries in all different groups. But based on skill level, like there would never be a group that's like Portugal, Spain, Argentina. In the old World Cup, there was always like a group of death. And it was just like, oh, there's like two really good teams, two kind of weaker teams, and then one group would just be packed. And it's like, damn, this is the group of death. One of these great teams is going to go home.
And that's because they had less groups. Yeah, well, yeah, exactly. And since they expanded the tournament, it's a little bit more diluted. Okay, so let's just call it what it is. The World Cup comes to America. It's the greatest World Cup that's ever happened. Yes or no? Oh, facts. Without a doubt.
And I want you guys to know that as we speak on— It's probably the most watched world.
Well, 100% most watched. But as we speak on soccer today, we are not speaking on this as casuals. We're speaking on this as experts. We know the game. We love the game. And we invested our life in this game. So know that. Don't take anything we say with a grain of salt. People are already mad that you're saying soccer. Why? That's what it's actually called. They're going to change it. Who's that? Trump's going to call it. FIFA? This is what they called it in Britain. It was the Association of Football. ASOC. Soccer. Boom. So we are actually doing what they used to do. Nobody was calling it football and brand. We speak English. Watch your mouth. Don't get nutmegged. Stop looking at my mouth. Can you guys stop?
Don't get nutmegged.
Is it not the greatest World Cup that's ever happened? And this is probably people, it's going to be difficult for them to accept. Hopefully it's not, right? But this is what America distributes to the entire world, entertainment, sports. spectacle I can't tell if it's bigger because it's happening here and like games are in New York City technically East Rutherford or if it's just because it's more games and it's a bigger World Cup objectively you know it feels like the vibes are better than ever you can drink that helps Can we just not do it in any fucking place in the Middle East where you can't drink? If the Scottish aren't allowed to come, there's no point in having the World Cup. That's a good point.
Also, it's clean in the Middle East. You don't need the Japanese to do the one thing they do. And also, we have to get off of that thing where we praise the Japanese for cleaning up. You don't want that to be what you're known for. Oh, that's nice.
That's nice.
Imagine this is what you're known for. They're like, ooh, the Japanese are coming. Watch them tidy up Pearl Harbor.
What makes this the 'greatest World Cup' and how do fan cultures (chants, baddie cam, AI) shape the experience?
There's some fucking ships and planes.
They never tidied that shit up any years ago. Get some school gear on, guys.
Let them have that reputation. No, Maria Kondo, Pearl Harbor. Get your ass back under there. Put some fucking flippers on and clean the bottom of the ocean up. Whereas Knicks fans are known for stealing trash cans.
