    Yes they are nervous because they know they aren’t authentic fans of the sport. They are praying 🙏 they have studied enough to engage in conversation with real fans.

      He strikes me as someone who likes to be the ‘know it all’ so he’s not loving this at all. He’s not a football fan and everyone’s going to know so he’s not really excited at all.

        I was previously married to an IT guy. He was an arrogant prick know it all. He literally told me once that his job was more important than a doctor’s. Very niche sense of humor. Not sporty. Grows his own weed these days. Very trumpy.

        Shane reminds me of him. So naturally I hate him.

          As someone who unfortunately has to interact with IT guys for work, this tracks. At this point I’m just hoping some of them will retire as they’re utterly insufferable. I’m sure misogyny comes into it too.

          Of course others are great!

      That’s exactly it! People are going to want to make conversation, especially because they are traveling from all over. People are gonna be cheering and understanding the game VERY well. Sports is a community. every time I go, I end up in conversation! People are like damn did you see that play?! Or they miss something and say yo what happened? Fans didn’t travel all the way to Brazil cause they are casual watchers. They know they are full of it and are nervous because of it
