[Eephus]

So a Lauryn Hill performance before the draw actually goes?

The queen of punctuality

 

[QuizGuy66]

Longer than the NASCAR trial. Impressive.

[NewlyRetired]

I can't believe I am spending all this time waiting just to see if the US draws Norway or not.....come on!!

 

[QuizGuy66]

Oh thank goodness we get to hear Lalas now. So happy to see him.
-QG

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

: silent scream :

 

[Sand]

Ah, Maria Shriver on the stage.

 

[zoobird]

Wow...prices have nearly doubled since Wednesday, despite no additional info about who's playing where. Looking unlikely I'll buy any tickets. :(

 

[Eephus]

Oh thank goodness we get to hear Lalas now. So happy to see him.
-QG

He's dressed like Trump

 

[NewlyRetired]

Bogert with a banger

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Let's be honest Rob. Roberto didn't have me do ****.

 

[Tick]

No way I'd watch this, but watching you guys watch it is pretty funny.

 

[Brew Swillis]

Now over an hour in and I know nothing I didn't know when I woke up this morning. Network TV can turn ANYTHING into a slog.

 

[B Maverick]

More Henry, less Lalas please

 

[NewlyRetired]

great now the performers are making fun of the audience

 

[QuizGuy66]

Wait I figured based on how this is going that they would have Joe Piscopo as the NJ representation.

For a FIFA presentation this is rapid.

[Sand]

Oh, FFS. Another musical artist no one knows.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Trump whisked to a secure location before the hip hop adjacent music act could begin.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

"C'mon FIFA!"

 

[NewlyRetired]

I just can't...................

 

[Sleestak]

Ok - this is going to require a gummy

 

[QuizGuy66]

"Tomorrow FIFA" was right there ...
-QG

 

[Eephus]

Throw your hands in the air, wave them round like you've lost all hope

 

[Brew Swillis]

This is f---ing excruciating.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

"Tomorrow FIFA" was right there ...
-QG

"Killing me softly with Courtois ..."

 

[QuizGuy66]

Lol I can't wait for that draw to happen....

More stuff to drag on....

-QG

 

[B Maverick]

Oh, FFS. Another musical artist no one knows.

How old are you that you don't know Lauryn Hill?

 

[Sleestak]

The 12 year old me watched the Spain '82 world cup and was enchanted. Was that draw as soul crushing as this? What has FIFA done to me?

 

[NewlyRetired]

are you ****ing kidding me? A skit now???

 

[Eephus]

it's almost time for the 2nd annual FIFA peace prize

 

[TLEF316]

Yeah this might be the worst thing I've ever watched

 

[QuizGuy66]

I honestly thought this was gonna be the dumb mascots.
-QG

 

[Sammy3469]

Who knew Rio could act?

 

[B Maverick]

The WC will have ended before this crap does.

 

[Eephus]

are you ****ing kidding me? A skit now???

It's a tribute to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

 

[Sleestak]

Am I on the right channel?

 

[QuizGuy66]

The 12 year old me watched the Spain '82 world cup and was enchanted. Was that draw as soul crushing as this? What has FIFA done to me?

That is the one they screwed up right?

[Sand]

Oh, FFS. Another musical artist no one knows.

How old are you that you don't know Lauryn Hill?

Yep - that old.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Yeah this might be the worst thing I've ever watched

it is extraordinary considering how ******** low my expectations already were and they some how came even lower...

 

[Eephus]

Am I on the right channel?

Every other channel is the right choice

 

[B Maverick]

Am I on the right channel?

If you want to watch something good then you are not

 

[bagger]

Talent Show coming up next.

 

[Sleestak]

The 12 year old me watched the Spain '82 world cup and was enchanted. Was that draw as soul crushing as this? What has FIFA done to me?

That is the one they screwed up right?

-QG

Sophia Loren, right?

 

[QuizGuy66]

Never has an event met my expectations since Atlanta unveiled it's Olympic Mascot Whatizit.

-QG

 

[zoobird]

This is truly impressive

It shouldn't be that hard...everyone is dying to find out which teams are in which groups

Pick the darn balls and show some cool highlights of each team during WC qualifying and everyone would be happy

 

[QuizGuy66]

Audience applauding fading...
-QG

 

[Sammy3469]

This "draw" is going to end up being longer than an actual match. Gianni is laughing to the bank.

 

[B Maverick]

All we need now is Dani Rojas yelling "Futbol is life!"

 

[Eephus]

This is truly impressive

It shouldn't be that hard...everyone is dying to find out which teams are in which groups

Pick the darn balls and show some cool highlights of each team during WC qualifying and everyone would be happy

It'll happen right after the magic act

 

[Brew Swillis]

Mother of God, another skit. This is interminable.
