They managed to get Lauryn Hill to perform 😄😄, on time and everything!

Are you rooting for any countries to be in the same group?

Hosted by Kevin Hart, Trump is there

I've never watched the previous ones, but this one seems fun

This is so so bad. Also, wtf is Rio doing there? I really don't like him.

With the amount of money that this must've cost, you'd think they could've cobbled together something better. Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ was too expensive.

Fuck me sideways, that was half cringefest, half borefest. Who the fuck gave this gig to Rio Ferdinand?! And Wayne Gretsky couldn't even pronounce some of the country names - so insulting. As for the FIFA "peace prize" - I can't even. 🤬🤬🤬

Edited

Him mispronouncing curaçao made me laugh

Yeah, I can’t wait. I love it. But I’m worried about the time difference ruining my viewing pleasure (and work 🫩)!

Show quote history

Oh yeah, I didn't even think of that!

I feel like I remember a world cup years ago where england were playing at some crazy time at night

Despite the past hour, I am really looking forward to the World Cup 😁

I hate the summer but a world cup summer is undefeated

They predicted that it would be chaotic re the presenting? Or the groups? X
