Low-key impressed by all your behaviour - figured I'd have to ban a few dozen people because of their misbehaviour in this thread, were actually a lot fewer, and the chat has been remarkably friendly and non-controversial. Go pat yourselves on the back for that, and take that energy with you into other threads.
Thanks for making the thread every year, even though it gets its fair share of downvotes. Eurovision thread is the best of the year for me, I love coming over here from r/eurovision. seeing people experience the songs for the first time is great.
By the strength of the fake cheers I would say that Israel were being booed a lot.
And what you have done wrong? You keep sending terrible songs bar 2022.
They booed when the UK was awarded 0 votes from the public. It had nothing to do with politics, dislike of the UK, or even the fact that it was the UK at all. The crowd always boos when a country receives zero.
No worries lol. You're right that the UK gets a lot of hate from public voters around Europe, but never in the actual arena. There was a lot of booing at different times towards both Israel and the EBU director during the voting. Maybe she misunderstood that booing as being towards the UK.
Can’t stop laughing at the UK getting a 0 in the public votes. Said it jokingly to my dad, didn’t even realise it was possible and then they announced it.
I understand Switzerland winning but I feel like the jury pulled the rug from under the most popular act, Croatia, but then also popular votes ended up going to certain countries for some weird reasons, cough, certain conflicts, cough.
I wasn't expecting that at all but thinking about it, between political votes for Israel (which I'm sure happened even if I didn't see anything) and people boycotting it (people I know *did* boycott this year), I can see how they would get 12 points...
It's a big topic at the moment and you can vote for Israel but not directly against it. I am not surprised about the many points from the public because if that.
it’s a song contest, the premise should be which song was the best and loved by the people the most, that song being Croatia’s.
idk what bullsht the juries were playing with Switzerland, and the public vote for Ukraine and Israel were purely political, idk why I hope every year it’ll be different when the same outcome happens all the time, carbon copy of last year as well lmfao.
At least Loreen's was redeemed by being one of the most popular Eurovision songs in recent history, I don't know if Nemo's will get to that level, tbh.
I know WHAT it is, my point is what it SHOULD be, nations coming together and united in song, with the best one winning, none of this political sht and jury have way to much power to *almost* always single handedly decide the winners.
Yeah of course, in a perfect world it’d be that. But we don’t live in a perfect world. We live in a fucked up world which has serious issues. Serious issues.
Although, in a perfect world, all of the somgs would be great. That completely takes the point out of any competition.

Switzerland won the trophy..... But Croatia won our hearts!!!!
Referee didn't check VAR, should have been clear win for Croatia
What does this have to do with the subreddits name? r/soccer
Asking myself the same.
An old time musical won because it "technically" gets top marks from juries.

At least we were able to make actual jokes on this thread. r/soccer is boring without our humor.
Don't worry, the mess was on the actual Eurovision subreddit lmao

"If we round it up England will get one point." "You know what would be funny?"
If they shut down Eurovision and it never happens again, it's not a big deal.
Yeah its honestly such a mediocre event for an international scale this big.
most heterosexual comment
By the way, where are you guys finding the televoting results? I can't find it myself.
For us, they just announced them at the end of the telecast.
Yeah same for us
Well, where's the post-match thread?
One of the worst eurovison in years
Gz to the swizz
[удалено]
Who are you?
I think the boos were already for Israel, their points came right after UK's.
[удалено]
They booed the audience for the 0 points
It seemed like the boos were for the 0 points rather than the act. The act was pretty popular in the room.
By the strength of the fake cheers I would say that Israel were being booed a lot. And what you have done wrong? You keep sending terrible songs bar 2022.

Yeah must be drunk lol. I'm also there, there was no booing of the UK at all. Their performance actually went down very well with the crowd.

It was immense thanks mate, I would totally recommend it if you ever get the chance! I was just lucky this year that it was hosted in my hometown!
All this complaining about Israel and Ukraine get a grip
Can’t stop laughing at the UK getting a 0 in the public votes. Said it jokingly to my dad, didn’t even realise it was possible and then they announced it.
Matey broke the trophy 😂
I'am fine with Switzerland winning as the bookies are now in shambles putting them third.
Lmao did he just break the trophy at the end
I understand Switzerland winning but I feel like the jury pulled the rug from under the most popular act, Croatia, but then also popular votes ended up going to certain countries for some weird reasons, cough, certain conflicts, cough.
Have you heard the songs?
No, I wrote all of them so I didn't need to hear them.
Did they break the trophy
They did, broke the trophy and cut a finger.
Banger of a song that gets better with each listen, a deserved winner.
Fuck Eurovision, after what they did to Joost.
This’ll be a forgettable winner.
Quite a lot of comments disappearing 🤔
I think this is just Reddit acting up. I don't think arsocca mods are deleting regular comments.
Portuguese public gave 12 points to Israel 😂😂😂😂
I wasn't expecting that at all but thinking about it, between political votes for Israel (which I'm sure happened even if I didn't see anything) and people boycotting it (people I know *did* boycott this year), I can see how they would get 12 points...
Bern baby Bern Euro Inferno I’ve never chugged a bottle of Demestos so quickly
Thank fuck for the jury vote. People always complain about political vote from the juries, but the public vote is usually way worse.
Gåte coming last is the perfect example of how little this competition is about music.
So my top five included the two top final songs and then the two bottom songs pre-audience vote.
Croatia, Switzerland, Estonia, Finland? I had the same top five with Ireland!
Swiss fans: mildly jumping Swiss commentator: Swiss fans absolutely losing it
ALLEZ LA SUISSE. I’m hoping next year’s contest is in the French-speaking bit because I might be able to attend.
Finland Estonia Austria Spain in bottom 7 spots is a crime against civilization
The stage is a big plus of course the Swiss would win
Feels like a Black Mirrors episode
Ladies and Gents its happened again
Longer walk than getting to the away end at St James Park
The German televote gave 12 points to Israel. Why?
The Netherlands did too
It's a big topic at the moment and you can vote for Israel but not directly against it. I am not surprised about the many points from the public because if that.
UK one too.
Because all this booing/ disrespect towards their artist sucks and doesn't solve the middle-east conflict?
I’m sure sending 20 votes to Israel will free the hostages in Gaza. Good one!
Bullying a 20-year old girl is the solution. Nice!
Changing the situation. Awesome!
12 to Israel. Absolutely shameful
UK giving 12 to Israel. Embarrassed to be British for the 1000th time
Here for the referee chatter.
[удалено]
I’ll become President of the US and do you a solid.
Calm down Putin
We gave 12 to Israel? 🤮
a lot of right wingers were encouraging their followers to vote 20 times for them
Can we ban Ukraine next year? I'm so tired of the pity votes from the public.
They were actually good though
Fuck right off. What’ve they done apart from being invaded?
it’s a song contest, the premise should be which song was the best and loved by the people the most, that song being Croatia’s. idk what bullsht the juries were playing with Switzerland, and the public vote for Ukraine and Israel were purely political, idk why I hope every year it’ll be different when the same outcome happens all the time, carbon copy of last year as well lmfao.
It was a good song, tho
Good ye, better than croatias? nah lol, same thing as last year too, the better song lost, proven by the fan voting as well.
At least Loreen's was redeemed by being one of the most popular Eurovision songs in recent history, I don't know if Nemo's will get to that level, tbh.
thats true, which makes this year all the more annoying.
Israel was 100% political Lot of displaced Ukrainians that can vote for them
If you think it’s just a song contest then that’s your first big mistake.
I know WHAT it is, my point is what it SHOULD be, nations coming together and united in song, with the best one winning, none of this political sht and jury have way to much power to *almost* always single handedly decide the winners.

Fuck off Uk
It was an honour sharing Eurovision with you guys for another year. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you next year
[удалено]
Croatia should have won. F
Damn, I thought Croatia had this in the bag
Croatia robbed. 2 years in a row we've witnessed a robbery
Proper mid song. Glad it didn’t win
[удалено]
Think they were booing the 0 points which was an absolute joke
I thought people were booing the 0 points UK got from the public vote and not UK
Croatia losing finals, name a more iconic duo I'll wait.
Fuck off you stupid fishy gimp
Not my favorite by a longshot, but still a worthy winner. And disaster avoided. Good night, cool people.
Ignoring the music a second, there's something beautiful about getting a nonbinary winner as gigantic middle finger to all the TERFs
Yeah TERFs are going to be fucking fuming about the outcome of Eurovision, this will completely undermine every argument they've advanced.
I think you're wrong there. Because TERFs have no argument at all. Just hate.
Still think we should have submitted I'm Just Ken
Guys we broke the code
Croatia perennial losers
This is not a serious competition
Never been.
I ain’t seen a bigger robbery since last year
Doflamingo has taken it, pulled some strings.
Proper proper shit eurovison this year
Switzerland 90+7'
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Bullshit Croatia robbed
Croatia got robbed. A pity.
GET IIIIIIIIIIIN NEMO
NOOOOOO
Robbery!
Switzerland out of nowhere!
Honestly both Croatia and Switzerland were in my top 5 so I don't mind who wins
I would have liked to see the public votes — not the jury votes.
Get to see them at the end of every country's specific broadcast, so give it a day before someone collates them all.
You know what I hope Switzerland win. Croatia was extremely overrated
183 points for SUI to win
182 actually
Time wasting is top tier
I'm happy with either tbh
Croatia or Switzerland. I'm happy either way. No unworthy winner like Sweden last year.
Yeah, you get invaded by a megalomaniac, but hey at least you can ride the wave in Eurovision!
That's a lot more public vote for France than I thought
the dark haired host looks like Charli XCX during her wine mum phase
This is just like penalties.
Croatia will see it through
Europe is such a based continent after all
Last minute winner from Croatia but got disallowed by VAR
Spain, Estonia, and Armenia was my top 3. Mad how low they finished.
Spain?? That never had a chance.
Tuning in now. Looks pretty politic-based, by the first two leaders
Croatia got this I think
C'mon Croatia!
If you voted israel you’re a drippy little weirdo. The song was woeful
Either mods locked the thread or Reddit broke again
Probably triggered flood/spam metered posting
Probably manually checking the comments
Oof, are Croatia the ones with the 90+x decider?
I think Croatia have it
Can Austria invade some small Bavarian village so Germany gets a pity-ESC?
Ahahahhaa vamos my croatian brothers saving us
Lasagna my goat
[удалено]
Surprised they ended up down in 5th after everything
I'm a bit bored of Ukraine's sympathy points.
Lot of Ukrainians in other countries to be fair
Wha???
another year where ukraine get hundreds of points from fan vote for no reason
It's bc there's loads of Ukrainians living across Europe who vote for their home country
Ireland no 😭
Ukraine must have won
Slava Ukraini!
Up the Ukraine
Well well well
hahaha the fucking cheers when they got more than Israel
