Nov 18, 2022 I’m sure I’ll Wikipedia this but...why was the word soccer invented when football been around soooooooo much longer than soccer??! Lol North Americans
Nov 18, 2022 Linguistically creative students at the University of Oxford in the 1880s distinguished between the sports of “rugger” (rugby football) and “assoccer” (association football). The latter term was further shortened to “soccer” (sometimes spelled “socker”), and the name quickly spread beyond the campus. The word is commonly used in many countries across the world where rugby and American football are also played
Nov 18, 2022 Yeah they use the word soccer in US and Australia and such but in Europe its football and rugby
Nov 18, 2022 Lol he really thinks NL isn't gonna survive a group with quatar, senegal without Mané and Ecuador...?
Nov 19, 2022 It will be interesting to hear and see the experience of football fans in Qatar Gotta respect every countries culture. But this will be a culture shock for many considering it’s a conservative Muslim country that is wealthy and does not need tourism money... no alcohol (only tourist hotels), no kissing or affection in public, can’t wear clothes showing too much skin ( beautiful World Cup women will be covered) can’t take photos or videos in public only designated tourist locations, no obscenities in public etc.... intense considering how Europeans, North Americans, South Americans, Asia and Africa have different vibe to the beautiful game
Nov 19, 2022 f--- all those monkeys. I want to have sex drink alcohol while watching kostic cross the ball to Vlahovic and he scores a goal
Nov 19, 2022 exactly lol the amount of Fuckery at world events like that is the reason people go for the experience....moral police stopping you from drinking and getting with a chick from another country is not cool
Nov 19, 2022 For some reason, I have had this feeling since earlier this year that Portugal will win the WC. Of course I could be wrong, but I still feel so.
Nov 19, 2022 I think this can be one of the most predictable world cups ever. If nothing rare happens this is for Brasil. They are on another level compared to the rest and have they whole team in good conditions.
Nov 19, 2022 I've placed an interesting bet for the whole tournament: 4 or more corners in every single match. How many games? 112 or something like that? Not big odds but it seems a safe way of making a bit of £££.
Nov 19, 2022 And here I am on the other side, having a feeling they won't make it out of the group. Let's see, man I'm so excited. Til september had no annual leave days from my job, kept them all so I can be off for the entire period of the World Cup. I won't miss a minute from this competition.
