So, how long is the World Cup on for? The short answer is about a month. The long answer is: exactly long enough to make you fall in love with a player you’d never heard of, and then watch them cry when they lose. It’s a beautiful, exhausting, totally worth it ride.
It’s not just a tournament; it’s a shared human experience that fits neatly between the summer solstice and your next birthday. You’ve got time to plan watch parties, order a jersey, and learn the rules. Maybe even enough time to forget the rules and learn them again. That’s the beauty of it.
Mark your calendar. Clear the fridge. The World Cup is coming, and it’s staying for a good, long while. And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.
