How are people into the World Cup?

It is like people getting four goals and then a bunch of grown men throwing themselves on the ground like a child.

Any sport sounds stupid if you describe it stupidly. Any sport looks pointless if you don't understand it.

People like different things, man.

I can't think of any other sport where the players act like children when someone steps on their foot.

I've seen the occasional baseball player flail and have temper tantrums.

Knew it'd be Neymar, lol.

Many things are indeed unreasonable when you evaluate them by the extremest examples, OP. Good eye!

Let's also totally ignore that most of soccer fandom hates players like Neymar's drama queen bullshit too, because that would ruin the argument we have going here. That would require actually exploring the fandom and shit, you ain't got no time for that! Memes are easier! Except wait, don't memes that mock Neymar's rolling into the horizon mean the fans are making fun of h... y'know what? No time for logic. Soccer sucks!

It's always Neymar. And yes, the memes are glorious.
(Also, let's ignore the fact that players actually can get get a penalty card for too much theatrics...)

So why didn't Neymar get carded?

Usually only happens when they fake getting fouled to get a penalty shot.

so why didn't Neymar get carded this time

I recently asked my little sister the same question. She said it's fun and exciting to watch. I told her I thought it was boring and kinda silly, and she said that she could say the same thing about many of the shows I watch. People just like different things.

At least football/soccer keeps moving the whole time. Baseball and American Football are incredibly boring to watch, IMHO, given how little time is actually spent playing. Especially American Football. Baseball is entertaining in person. Soccer is the only sport I can think of that is fun to watch on tv, at least for me. I haven't actually been watching because I don't watch the World Cup for moral reasons. But I do watch soccer.

Because we enjoy the sport?

Whatever sport you do like I'm sure all soccer fans will be able to point out something stupid or annoying about it.

it's all about theatrics, getting drunk and taking bets. i just hope there won't be any drunken mob stampedes and property damage done to the surrounding homes.
