    It's not only the World Cup, it's everything, everywhere, all the time. We are drowning in marketing messages. It's gross.

          I'm not saying there's not instances of shithousery, but if you've never had a cleat scrape down the back of your calf or have a cleat stomp on the top of your foot, that shit hurts man. Yeah, it goes away, but the immediate pain is intense and is completely justifiable to to clutch at it. However, that can absolutely be done without theatrics

            The 1% of times that's actually the case.

            The other 99% it's "men" acting like 3 year old first born children who had a toy taken away from them.

            It's a beautiful sport, ruined.
