I normally watch as much as I can, but with the 48 teams making the group stages largely uncompetitive, late kicks and the fact that it's mostly in that joke of a country at the moment, I've picked out 5-6 games that interest me in the first 2-3 weeks and that includes England and Scotland.

I will try and watch the Mexico and Canada games. But I will be actively avoiding anything that involves the USA, including build up half time and post match to any game hosted in the USA. Usually I look forward to embracing the host nations culture, but the last 2 world cups and the next 2 world cups, I've got absolutely zero interest in the sports washing and political priorities.

Am I going to stay up till 1am to watch it?

Nope!

Also means my 11 year old won't be able to watch the vast majority of games, and that's really crap for him, and me because we'd watch them together otherwise.

Or getting to school and hour or two early cos they were putting the game on for breakfast clubs.

Good memories of being with my dad watching proper late at night in my pjs and a milk.

AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2026 6:14 pm Yeah he'll be allowed to stay up to watch some, but it'll be the big matches and not random teams. Need to balance watching matches together and him not having endless late nights, as he's a right pain in the arse when he's tired

Audrey Horne wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2026 6:19 pm Would he/you watch every single game if it was in Europe?

Prob not so it's not really an issue is it? Haha

The kick off times is the least of our problems for this WC.

Mad kick offs is just part of it being a world cup and not catered to GMT!!
