Yep.
I like football, so will be watching as much of it as I can.

Missing the Opening Ceremony as these are always dire but will try to watch as many games as possible. All will be on mute as both BBC and ITV commentators are terrible.
Yes. I said YES. Why does this thread keep being bounced to the top?
oh...

I genuinely thought I would boycott it as I don't believe that Russia should be hosting such a massive sporting event. Qatar, too.
But no, as it draws near, I know I'll be watching...
I particularly want to watch the less prominent nations. Peru, Morocco, Costa Rica etc. I love this side of the World Cup.

Listen to me!!!
Every game possible but will be in Taiwan for second half of tournament so could be tricky.
Boycott the sponsors!
Is that in China?

I will be cherry picking the games I want to watch, but if they are crap I will give up, except England I will sit through our games.
If other games are on when I am in I will give them a go, if they are good I will stay, if they are crap I wont.
I rarely get interested until the knockout stages.

Yes - the downside is that Fox won the TV rights in the States and have decided to go with a mainly US commentary team. One of the non-Americans is that knob Warren Barton.
Previous World Cups were shown by ESPN who did a good job with a mainly Brit team.

John Oliver summed it up four years ago:

Let's face it, if hell was hosting, we'd all still watch. Actually, with Fifa in charge there's a good chance Hell will get it's turn.

I can’t wait, I bloody love the World
Cup and will watch and listen to as much as the other half will let me!
I will admit to being a hypocrite though as I moaned constantly about the international breaks during the season but I just love the tournaments.
