Am I the only one not interested in the World Cup?

I could care less about the world cup.

You do realise that means that you do care about the World Cup don’t you?

It's just 2 teams kicking a ball about for 90 minutes, too long in my opinion.

I beg to differ. More people on my facebook feed are talking about Love Island than they are the World Cup, which I have zero interest in. Last month I had royal wedding coverage forced on me for weeks, what if I wasn't interested in that? Every time the Olympics rolls around there's nothing but that on the BBC for weeks. "It's people running around in circles for a few minutes". If I went to the gaming sub forum people would be speaking about gaming, if I went to the religion one they'd be talking about religion. But I don't tend to go to sub forum's of things that i'm not interested in to unnecessarily declare my lack of interest.

You are literally doing what you're saying that you're not, coming into a forum that people are in to talk with people with similar interests, and subjecting everybody to your interests (or non-interest).

Who exactly is subjecting your to their interest in football? The idea that you're being forced to discuss football here in this forum with us is hilarious, or in real life for that matter. I watch football most days, but between watching it I have found it fairly easy to have discussions with people on various topics and partake in my various other interests.

The "as though there is nothing more interesting" bit it funny too. For somebody interested in football, a tournament that only comes around every 4 years might very well be one of the most interesting things going on for the next couple of weeks. Personally, most of my spare time is being spent working a summer-job, so the football is an fun and interesting breather from that most days. And if you you feel the need to call me boring for that, go for it, but you know absolutely nothing about me or my other interests... so it'd just be a little pathetic tbh.

Its just grating when you are out with people and all they can talk about is which idiot kicked the ball in the net or who's going to get relegated.

Yeah the world cup only comes around every 4 years but then between that is the euros and the FA cup and the Champions league and probably some others that I've forgotten about.Its just grating when you are out with people and all they can talk about is which idiot kicked the ball in the net or who's going to get relegated.There are plenty of things more interesting.You would probably find it just as grating if all people could talk about is say golf.And yet when you say you have no interest in it it's considered unusual or unmanly which is absurd.Arw you less of a man if you find golf boring? It's stupid.
And for the record I also have zero interest in love island or the royal wedding.This thread is about non-interest in the world cup I was merely commenting on it.Its not my fault it's in this subforum.

Never happened. People would just move on to something else if you're not interested.

Stop making stuff up.

You sound like an absolute delight.

What things do you enjoy?

Yeah it did.They wouldn't really if you're the only one in a group of people not interested in football.They'd continue their conversation about football with each other and then eventually move on.

My mum is not interested.

Get some new friends mate. Seems like you hate your friends for talking about what the majority of them are interested in. Again, "plenty of things more interesting" is very debatable when you're trying to dictate an entire group's conversation because you alone are not interested.

. I mean who’s gonna watch football for 6 hours a day every day?

Agreed.Its just boring and it's beyond annoying how people are constantly talking about it all through the year.And as for Panama their not even good.When they beat a real team I'll be impressed.

To me this sums up the meaning of entitled. If you find it "beyond annoying" that some people share passionate interests in something you don't then entitled is what you are. I can think of a few more words. Pompous, arrogant, stuck up or just plain pathetic. I'm not even a football person and this annoyed me.

I'm not entitled.But it is annoying how half the country comes to a stop over a game.Its like when the royal family pops another one out we have rolling news coverage all day long.There is no need for it.But yes it is annoying when people constantly talk about a subject you have no interest in.Like if I were to go on about formula 1 all year long you would doubtless get annoyed.Its not even like it's that interesting of a game.Literally nothing happens for 99% of the game.Most football fans just follow the crowd.They support so and so team because their father or their brother or their friends do.They go on about how " football is coming home" even though England are beyond dire.They get into fights as well all over some men you don't even know playing a game.Whats pathetic is that you call football an interest.Watching tv isn't an interest.
