That stuff where they fall down on the field, get taken off on a stretcher and then pop back up just kills me, lol. I feel the women put on a better game, ha. That said, I’m a little excited for Wales… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-following-the-world-cup#post-2292586 Wed, 23 Nov 2022 18:57:27 +0000 kkards 2292586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol if i was Budweiser I’d ask for a discount to sponsor the next World Cup!&nbsp;<br />On the other hand, they have a crack PR team and seem to be turning this to there own advantage (providing the country that wins allows beer)&nbsp;<br />‘Winning country gets the Buds“<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/22/business/budweiser-unsold-beer-world-cup/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/22.....index.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-following-the-world-cup#post-2292534 Wed, 23 Nov 2022 14:28:45 +0000 Helena 2292534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not really watching, but we are following results and scores. Canada plays today, which I will keep an eye on! Poor old Australia had a tough go the other day, and England is always a crapshoot. But there you go, we must support the family on all sides! :D</p> <p>Sal, interestingly, Budweiser is allowed to sell their zero-proof beer and it's the only one allowed (very limited access and visibility though if I understand it); I'm curious whether that brand will get a bump because of this whole debacle since I'm told it's pretty good beer (I work with zero-proof brands as part of my job so always following the news on these things).</p> <p>I hope all the attention is ultimately a win for human rights in the long term; the optimist in me truly says its possible despite the many, many reasons for skepticism on that front.</p> <p>Good luck to everyone's squads!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-following-the-world-cup#post-2292494 Wed, 23 Nov 2022 02:34:44 +0000 Sal 2292494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not interested but my son's are following.&nbsp; &nbsp; I do wonder how much Qatar had to pay Budweiser? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-following-the-world-cup#post-2292486 Wed, 23 Nov 2022 00:10:09 +0000 JAileen 2292486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband is rooting for Ecuador. &nbsp;Apparently their fans were yelling that they wanted beer. &nbsp;I enjoyed watching high school soccer when I was a CASA, and one of my kids was playing. &nbsp;Watching him play in the state championship was really exciting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-following-the-world-cup#post-2292484 Tue, 22 Nov 2022 23:39:13 +0000 LJP 2292484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well it is a landmark Cup for Canadians , but I have no respect for either FIFA or countries like Qatar so I just can’t support it . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-following-the-world-cup#post-2292426 Tue, 22 Nov 2022 16:06:52 +0000 Anonymous 2292426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mr. Xtabay is following closely. &nbsp;His team lost and he’s very sad right now, but I expect him to rally for the tres leches cake I’m making. &nbsp;Gotta keep his spirits up! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-following-the-world-cup#post-2292412 Tue, 22 Nov 2022 13:54:40 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2292412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hubs is a die hard football fan, (British team Arsenal is his team) so he’s been watching.
