I can't be bothered to dig up a GIF of Tom Delie, but I doubt he'd agree with your premise either...🙂
From the Mississippi, if only they were Delije.
Just how many more points would we need to mathematically outpace the Seattle Sounders?
I’m casting my vote in recognition of the sheer effort involved here. Congratulations.
Duja. That makes four consecutive wins in a row.

I'm with everyone here except for that last part—when the national team is playing, I much prefer staying home so I don't have to deal with those obnoxious, loud-mouthed diehard fans.
It isn't strictly about watching our own squad; they represent only a fraction of the tournament.
Who am I to judge? Perhaps wandering through various European cities during the holiday season while catching matches at local spots will somehow compensate for missing out on that intense tournament atmosphere.
Scheduling matches at 11, 2, 5, or 8 during the Winter is a recipe for disaster if you actually care about viewership.
Unless, of course, the audience consists entirely of seasonal workers in the summer tourism industry. In any realistic scenario, nobody is going to tune in for those first two slots. Even in major metropolitan hubs across Europe, you’d struggle to pull half the crowd for that third match. You might have noticed that Champions League fixtures rarely land on a Tuesday or Wednesday at 4 or 6 in the afternoon; it’s because even the biggest clubs wouldn't bother playing at those times during the weekend.
It doesn't help that there is something much more visceral about watching a game outdoors, whether you're sitting on a patio at a local pub or gathering in a public square.

I’m expecting much higher quality football at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 ™ because the players will be way more rested than they usually are during a mid-summer tournament.
Because of that, I think this World Cup is going to be one for the history books.
Please provide some actual logic to support such nonsense.
