@evan Not in any active sort of way. It was on when my husband was making sure the YouTube streams were working.

I'm a yes.

@evan

☑️ There's a world cup happeing?

@evan I came down last night to watch extra time and penalties (the only bit that normally matters in England games) just as old whoever it was scored the winning goal, so I didn't have to suffer for long. I don't actually care. It's only a game. Sport should be about learning to be sporting, win or lose, and that ship has sailed.

@evan extended highlights

@evan Yes, but it was not by my choice, and leaving the room in protest would have taken longer than it took the match to finish without my porter's cooperation. I was mainly paying attention to my own devices anyway.

@evan

Yes, but… only a single one.

@evan I've watched a few games. Maybe about 98% of the tournament.

@evan Actively decided not to watch, the prize FIFA gave to Trump and Infantino are too horrible to support this. FIFA invented the hydration pause for advertising, they don't care about the sport anymore, just the show.

@evan For some reason, only two things from this World Cup reached me: Shakira’s opening song and lots and lots of Erling Haaland content. Phenomenal guy. I had no idea he existed before this and I’m glad I found out. ✨

@evan Yes, but I'm not watching the wooden spoon match 🫩

@evan
Nah, my Canadian ass is still on the #elbowsup train. FIFA counts in with that after they pulled that "peace prize" BS and indicated that they're just fine and dandy supporting fascists and concentration camps.

Not that FIFA was striving to be a morally neutral or positive force to begin with, for everything I've seen of their actions.

@evan No, but I am watching quite a few clips of game highlights that people share with me, which probably doesn't count

@evan No, even though my national team is doing better than usual in it. This is Trump's 1936 Olympics moment and I will have no part in it.

@evan No, because I have trouble rooting for my home country right now.

@evan My "no, but": I have read the BBC liveblog for three of the matches.

@evan Norwegian. I tell you, we had no other choice. And the world joined us 🙏
