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.

There are eight first-time qualifiers at this tournament: Morocco, Zambia, Panama, Haiti, Vietnam, the Philippines, Portugal and Ireland

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!

US here, just so happened to wake up at 2:30am, just in time to catch the first match. Might as well lol.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I am, even though my post about it yesterday got removed. I like that Fox is showing full replays online, it helps Americans deal with the timezone issue.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

For some games it's also crazy in Europe, for example first game tomorrow is at 4:30 am. 😅 Think I might skip that one

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

US here. Heck yeah! I'm pumped. I watch it every time.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Hyped as hell for this

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I’m watching when I’m awake! USA going for the three-peat and boasting some fresh new talent. Sophia Smith is gonna put this tournament on watch.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm also here for Rapinoe's swan song. Super hyped for this tournament.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I am. Australia's about to beat Ireland, 5min of bonus time left, but they might not be able to hold

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yay, they made it. Second home country wins their first game too.

Also, I'm totally checking out the communities on aussie.zone now.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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...

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I am, who needs sleep anyway

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

timezone was not as bad as expected.so hoping to catch some game for sure (all night to overnight times for me)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.
