It just started and we're still in off season so might as well. I think Germany has the perfect group to embarrass themselves too should they not make it out of groups stage.

Philippines is in the World Cup for the first time

[-] Mookulator@wirebase.org 7 points 1 year ago

There are eight first-time qualifiers at this tournament: Morocco, Zambia, Panama, Haiti, Vietnam, the Philippines, Portugal and Ireland

I'm definitely watching the World Cup -- I just got back from the pub where I was watching New Zealand beat Norway. I've been trying to get !worldcup@lemmy.world going for the World Cup so that people who want to talk about it have a space that's dedicated to the tournament, so if you wanna come hang out over there as well, it might be fun!

[-] RespectfullyNo@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

US here, just so happened to wake up at 2:30am, just in time to catch the first match. Might as well lol.

[-] BeardedPip@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

I am, even though my post about it yesterday got removed. I like that Fox is showing full replays online, it helps Americans deal with the timezone issue.

For some games it's also crazy in Europe, for example first game tomorrow is at 4:30 am. 😅 Think I might skip that one

[-] skeswo320@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'm definitely watching. The first match just finished. So happy for New Zealand. It's always fun when the hosts have success in their tournament.

[-] whatalute@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

YES! I found this community because I was looking for where discussions about it on Lemmy might be. (Other Lemmy community suggestions are very welcome). The time zone difference does complicate things, so I probably won't catch many of the games in the time slot that is latest for me. There's still plenty of great matches to watch beside those though.

[-] ThatsDrSpaceJunk2U@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

US here. Heck yeah! I'm pumped. I watch it every time.

[-] eatham@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

I am. Australia's about to beat Ireland, 5min of bonus time left, but they might not be able to hold

[-] narrowide96lochkreis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yay, they made it. Second home country wins their first game too.

Also, I'm totally checking out the communities on aussie.zone now.

[-] jimbolauski@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

With the time difference there will only be a handful of games that I'll be awake for.

[-] Mookulator@wirebase.org 5 points 1 year ago

I’m watching when I’m awake! USA going for the three-peat and boasting some fresh new talent. Sophia Smith is gonna put this tournament on watch.

[-] los_chill@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I'm also here for Rapinoe's swan song. Super hyped for this tournament.

[-] SatouKazuma@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Negative. Time difference to Aus/NZ is just too much.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 year ago

Same. The games are actually available as VODs on Viaplay, but it's just not as exciting to watch after the fact. I might still watch some Sweden games that way though, and maybe the semi-finals and the final.

[-] SatouKazuma@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think I'm just going to chalk this one myself. I'd try to watch Sweden and Japan, but for a lot of the world, the time zones are just shit. Maybe next iteration...

[-] MrDrProfJimmy@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Hyped as hell for this

[-] raresbears@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 1 year ago

Trying to, although with the time difference and with my schedule I probably won't be able to catch that many especially in the earlier stages

[-] Boondock@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’m watching, but on dvr. I’m in the US and have 2 young kids so only way to watch for me is to watch on dvr during the workday.

Other than US matches, I should be able to avoid spoilers from friends which is only way I’d get spoiled

[-] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I am, who needs sleep anyway

[-] c4lm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm in the UK, match times aren't great for me.

I'm going to try catch some simply because there's nothing else atm.

[-] zauri27@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

timezone was not as bad as expected.so hoping to catch some game for sure (all night to overnight times for me)

[-] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm going to try to catch some of the games. I usually watch a couple games of the WWC and always the final.

[-] willnever_fadeaway@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Of course I am, my country is making history as one of the WC debutants. An unfortunate loss to Switzerland but it was a good game.
