Anyone else not watching the World Cup

I meant me listening to the radio whilst they had the footie on..

Well I'll be watching some that isn't on at silly o'clock, I love football. I boycotted the last one as a matter of principle and wouldn't let myself watch one minute of it. I thought about boycotting this one because of the USA involvement but decided not to. I'll be in the correct timezone for the last couple of weeks of the tournament so would love it if England get that far.

I didn’t boycott the last one but felt that I should boycott this one. However, having boycotted the Eurovision Song Contest ( which I love) I’ve decided that I’m not going to let Trump deprive me of something I enjoy. At least during the matches I hopefully won’t have to turn on the tv to see him ranting on about something. I’m no expert but I don’t remember being very impressed with the standard of football in the last one ( I don’t understand the game (eg offside stuff) but do know when I’m watching a good one!). Will Wimbledon be coinciding with it, too?

I may watch the odd game, but most of the time I shall just keep an eye on the results. I have plenty of things to keep myself occupied anyway, so the World Cup won't really make a difference to my life.

I shall return to watching my local team in August.

Me! TBH I loathe football.

Ditto.

I dont watch it at all, it has no interest for me I would rather knit fog

We have football mad children and grandchildren, so will try to watch, especially England and Spain

No interest whatsoever. My life will carry on as usual.

It's not just a female thing, a lot of men don't like football and prefer other sports, or watch no sports at all. In the office at work, the majority of staff are women, and only two like football, and half the men don't care either.
My main dislie of football, and also other team sports, is hereditaty: my dad hated school games, I had no aptitude at them and won't watch soemthing I hated playing as a kid and couldn't play.
Don't get the patriotism thing about supporting England either: the players live in a world far removed from the fans and only care about the money.They're certainly not my country.

I detest football with a vengeance!!

No, I'm not watching it.

Well, not in England anyway. 🤣

I am watching from my house in France. France's prediction to win is higher than England's, so that's who I'll support.

There's loads of merchandise here in supermarkets and shops. I bought DGS the kit, so France had better not be knocked out before I get home at the beginning of July!!

I like football, but the edge is off it this time because there has been so much controversy, and I’m really not a fan of the razzmatazz that the USA are putting on for the games. I’m pretty tolerant about sport being on TV because it attracts millions of viewers, that’s why the mainstream channels show it in preference to the usual fare. If you have no paid for channels, there is plenty of alternative viewing on Freeview too.
