Or ideally don't go to any matches. It's actually more ethical to pirate stream any FIFA matches lol

    Maybe, but actually going to a world cup match in person with thousands of other people supporting your country is probably a pretty special experience that not many people get to do in their lifetimes. Watching it on TV is never going to feel like that, especially watching at home on a pirate stream. It's probably what I'll do. And a big part of the reason is that I don't want FIFA to get any money from me. But, I know I'm missing out on a unique experience.

    Well yeah, the '34 Nuremberg rally must have been pretty memorable and impressive to see in person too.

    But hardly anybody later in life was like "Hey kids, want to hear about this epic and awesome thing I went to before the war?"

    I think a better comparison would be the 1936 Olympics. And plenty of people were really happy to talk about how they were at the Olympics and watched a black American man beating the Nazis on their own turf.
