Down by the pitchside are the VIP seats where you can order 'food' to be brought to your seat. It was a strange way to see a football match. I was only there to see Stuart Armstrong.
Whitey Grandad Posted June 11 Posted June 11 (edited) Sorry for the inversions. This stadium will host seven World Cup games. Edited June 11 by Whitey Grandad

I can see a few influencers ignoring this or not even seeing it. I wonder how they'll crack down on it. Presumably through AI and then capturing names on various databases.

Football Special Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Is this Mexican opening ceremony going to be worth a watch? Hadn't realised that they are also going to have separate opening ceremonies in US and Canada, feels a bit excessive

Hadn't realised that they are also going to have separate opening ceremonies in US and Canada, feels a bit excessive I think we should have an opening ceremony too. I'd like to see Haiti's opening ceremony, I'm sure they can get some armed gangs to act out some kidnappings or something.

AlexLaw76 Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 Opening ceremony offers a MASSIVE redemption arc....for Diana Ross 2

SNSUN Posted June 11 Posted June 11 I look at 49 year old Shakira and then I look at my 42 year old wife and I start to question my life choices... 😁 1
Window Cleaner Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Look to have quite a good crowd for the first match. It is Mexico at home I suppose.
SNSUN Posted June 11 Posted June 11 I quite liked that official anthem DNA. Even if Bocelli looked like he couldn't remember the words for half of it.
Sheaf Saint Posted June 11 Posted June 11 (edited) WTF is the ref wearing on his head? He looks like he's been assimilated by the Borg. Edited June 11 by Sheaf Saint 1
Window Cleaner Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Mexico look alright. SudAf looks like a team of village rec cloggers. Think they'll get at least one red this evening. 1

AlexLaw76 Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 First game nerves (hopefully), playing a mile in the sky, hydration break Terrible standard, particularly from SA
Midfield_General Posted June 11 Posted June 11 (edited) Weird that they have a carefully scheduled three minute hydration break but don’t stop the clock for it and just treat it as injury time to be added on by the referee Edited June 11 by Midfield_General 1
benjii Posted June 11 Posted June 11 This is tedious. The atmosphere feels gentrified. Are the tickets too expensive in Mexico as well? This has the makings of a very boring few weeks before anything exciting happens.
SNSUN Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Liking the ref cam. Poor game though, SA are poor and Mexico aren't gonna win the tournament either.
Sheaf Saint Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Another Russball moment from the SA keeper but gets away with it this time.
Sheaf Saint Posted June 11 Posted June 11 That's a ridiculous red card. What's the defender meant to do when someone cuts across them like that? 1
Osvaldorama Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Not sure why but the magic of the World Cup hasn’t kicked in at all. Atmosphere fees flat. Not seen any excitement for it. Is it just me? 4

All the real fans have been priced out so it’s just a bunch of boring middle class people and corporates sat in their $100 replica shirts quietly munching their hotdogs while a League 2 standard game unfolds before them. FIFA have taken the game away from the people, ruined the format and killed this tournament. Edited June 11 by Midfield_General 2
Convict Colony Posted June 11 Posted June 11 ok switched off, I thought after following our season the world cup would be a step up in quality but it's fucking shit. South Africa trying to not fuck up comically and Mexico waiting for the fuck ups.
Baird of the land Posted June 11 Posted June 11 guessing there's going to be lots of red cards in this tournament also s.africa not making a great case for the expansion of the tournament 1
Midfield_General Posted June 11 Posted June 11 (edited) If that’s a red card then you might as well just say the game is now completely non-contact. Absolutely pathetic. Add VAR to the long list of things that are ruining this already. ‘It’s been a glorious occasion’ says whoever this gimp is with McCoist on ITV. No it hasn’t. It’s been a desperately shit start.

Midfield_General Posted June 11 Posted June 11 3rd red card 🤣 Not one of them deserved Absolute joke 1
Osvaldorama Posted June 11 Posted June 11 What’s the ref doing 😂 And why is there an American woman coming on agreeing with every decision. What a fucking joke this is. Game has actually gone hasn’t it 1
