Soccer World Cup

I honestly don't know why there's so much fuss about kicking a ball around. It all seems a ittle infantile to me.

But this world cup does seem to be working wonders for International relations, so that's got to be a good thing.
It is the food, seriously people are shocked how good some places are and the abundance. Also believe it or not; Americans, even myself, can be very nice, kind, warm and friendly to strangers. Especially people who are legit tourists from other countries.

People from Europe have a horrible opinion because our media hates our country. Also other countries follow suit and have ridiculous ideas of what most of America is like and the people. Also we have better food, all the UK people were shocked at certain places.
 
different countries play different sports and also have different words for the same sport. people in different countries enjoy watching different sports.

what an astonishing concept!

Yeah but to be fair, 'football' does suggest a game played primarily with the feet, no?

Saw some twat calling it "socker" earlier, they thought it was because you "sock" the ball at the goal :ROFLMAO: In UK and Europe nobody calls it soccer (which came via an abbreviation for 'association football'.

Anyway, Vinicius Jnr was denied one of the great world cup goals earlier due to the thumb of the Japanese goalie. Unlucky!

How the hell is 'Soccer' an abbreviation of 'Association football'?

Shouldn't that be 'Assfoot'?

I reckon it's drived from 'Succour', which is what the world has offered to US football for decades... 😉
 
I know you didn't say 'more', but that's obviously what you meant. Fake bread, cheese, and bacon is not 'better' by any stretch of the imagination :LOL:

(I've never eaten American food BTW, I just love reinforcing stereotypes)
No, Texas BBQ, and other places watch the videos. They loved the good fast food and many other places and they also happened to be more. The UK people were shocked at how much more variety and better taste. Then also portions, cost and free soft drink refills. loots of ice for some reason. Watch the YouTube videos I did and was shocked at how much they loved the good food here. Yeah there is garbage but beans on bread and mashies and bangers, fish and chips, Indian food is even more popular than the native British awful food.

One diplomat said The UK 's food was the second worst and Finland was the only only country in Europe with worse food.
