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 !worldcup@lemmy.world 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!

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

      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…

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

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

    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

    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
