It just started and we’re still in off season so might as well. I think Germany has the perfect group to embarrass themselves too should they not make it out of groups stage.

I’m definitely watching the World Cup – I just got back from the pub where I was watching New Zealand beat Norway. I’ve been trying to get [email protected] going for the World Cup so that people who want to talk about it have a space that’s dedicated to the tournament, so if you wanna come hang out over there as well, it might be fun!

With the time difference there will only be a handful of games that I’ll be awake for.

YES! I found this community because I was looking for where discussions about it on Lemmy might be. (Other Lemmy community suggestions are very welcome). The time zone difference does complicate things, so I probably won’t catch many of the games in the time slot that is latest for me. There’s still plenty of great matches to watch beside those though.

I’m going to try to catch some of the games. I usually watch a couple games of the WWC and always the final.

I’m in the UK, match times aren’t great for me.

I’m going to try catch some simply because there’s nothing else atm.

Of course I am, my country is making history as one of the WC debutants. An unfortunate loss to Switzerland but it was a good game.

I’m watching, but on dvr. I’m in the US and have 2 young kids so only way to watch for me is to watch on dvr during the workday.

Other than US matches, I should be able to avoid spoilers from friends which is only way I’d get spoiled

I’m definitely watching. The first match just finished. So happy for New Zealand. It’s always fun when the hosts have success in their tournament.

Trying to, although with the time difference and with my schedule I probably won’t be able to catch that many especially in the earlier stages

Negative. Time difference to Aus/NZ is just too much.

Same. The games are actually available as VODs on Viaplay, but it’s just not as exciting to watch after the fact. I might still watch some Sweden games that way though, and maybe the semi-finals and the final.

I think I’m just going to chalk this one myself. I’d try to watch Sweden and Japan, but for a lot of the world, the time zones are just shit. Maybe next iteration…
