First I want to say that this time we win it. Last time we were second, this time, we lift the cup. Modric is just mature enough now at 37 years old and just reached his prime, as PSG learned a few weeks ago.

Croatia wins 2022. 🙃

Groups look fun.
I rarely watch first round games that arent from the group Croatia is in or the group we cross with but here are a few games i will definitely be watching from the group stage.

  • IRAN vs USA.

Thats just going to be a fun one due to the history between the two countries. I found it that World Cups are always more fun when Americans get interested in football for the few weeks per decade.

  • SERBIA vs SWITZERLAND

The Swiss are similar to France as in they dont have many ethnic Swiss playing for their team. For France its mostly second, third generation Africans and for the Swiss, its ethnic albanians, croatians, bosnians.
Last time around they played Serbia and a Swiss Albanian did the Albanian eagle with his hands when he scored the winning goal. It was the story of the month in the region.
What can I say, I like drama. Especially in the World Cup. :)

  • URUGUAJ vs GHANA

The last game they played against each other in the World Cup was 2010 and it ended in one of the most ridiculous ways. Suarez, in the most obvious way stopped the ball from crossing over the line with his hands in the 123 minute of the game. Literally the last second. Ghana had a penalty, and missed. Lost on penalties in the end.
Im sure Ghana didnt forget so I cant wait to see how this game goes.

All that being said, this World Cup as an event is a huge mess. From the utter stupidity of naming Qatar the host nation to corruption so obvious that FIFA puts the Russian military to shame.
Apparently 6000 people died in 10 years building the stadiums due to poor working conditions alongside all that and nobody seems to care.

But what can I say, when it comes to the World Cup of football everyones a apathetic bastard. Myself included....

The whole world will be watching and for a few weeks not much else will matter.
