    It’s something people cannot comprehend even on a personal level. I don’t care about the world cup for now. People will want to talk about the last game and cannot fathom why I am not watching a 110min game where nothing happens.

    Chinese, Indians: They may not give a shit or watch some leagues from Europe if they are into football.

      It’s obviously fine if you’re not interested, but it seems unnecessarily aggressive to say “a 110min game where nothing happens”. It also shows how little you know about the sport. Even if they go to overtime (which can only happen in direct elimination matches), that would be 90+30 = 120.

        I agree with you, but just wanted to point out maybe they were calculating with the halftime break, so 45+15+45=105 and added some average extra time to get to their number

          If that is the case, it doesn’t make much sense. You also don’t really “watch” anything in the halftime break.

        Yeah! Plenty happens! Like a bunch of grown ass men dramatically throwing themselves on the ground pretending to be hurt!

            That hurt so badly! I literally just threw myself on the floor and started crying. Do you believe me? I say it’s just as convincing as the grown ass men throwing themselves in the ground.
