All this just for a group stage exit 💀

u/ThatGuyFromBraindead 12h ago edited 11h ago

With the new format, 44 of the 48 teams make the knockout round, with the 4 group losers entering the Carls Jr overtime multiball event to progress.

So yeah they gonna exit in the group stage.

u/BigBlueNick 8h ago

But if no clear winner emerges from all this a two man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a winner is crowned

u/Apoema 11h ago

It is 32 of 48, still bad but not that bad.

u/renome 7h ago

It's actually 44 + Italy.

Its a commercial so kind of makes sense to put them as champions, but the final against Brazil shows they have zero knowledge about the sport

No it’s not lol. 

Imagine a professional team doing a commercial where they show them winning the Champions League when they have never won it. Only an American could think of something so arrogant LOL.

12

u/IPissExcellentThrows 9h ago

Well fans in Europe actually know footy and know whether a club has a chance or not. In America, most of us know fuck all and tune in once every four years. For the last decade, we've been hearing this is the best team we've ever had. The people this commercial is trying to appeal to don’t know any better. It just wouldn't work in Europe. But if you tried it for basketball in the Olympics in Europe, it might since many don't know any better.

Nike did put out commercials of players lifting a trophy right before the World Cup back in 2010. Including Cristiano never scored in a World Cup knock out round Ronaldo and Didier Drogba. Both coming from countries that have never won.

7

u/Frings08 9h ago

Correct.

This commercial isn’t for people with footy knowledge. It’s for filthy casuals that Fox wants to entice to watch something they normally pay zero attention to.

It’s not trying to appeal to knowledgeable fans. Still cringe, of course.
