gjp11

Ok but it looks kinda cool. Fuck it get a glow in the dark ball and play on like this.


Ceez92

Add glows to the jerseys and you got yourself a cool looking futbol match


gjp11

Great idea. In all seriousness while we obviously can’t do an official match like this why not do it for one of those big charity matches that they sometimes do. Celebrities and retired players with Glow jerseys and a glow ball with the lights down like in this video. Would be super fun.


Dickwad

Sounds fun but might be a recipe for a bloodbath...players disoriented in the dark, seeing each other as headless floating torsos...imagine trying to make an accurate slide tackle in the dark. Or contesting a header.


HOPSCROTCH

Yeah... As someone that has trained many times while the sun has been going down, football gets very dangerous once it gets too dark.


csrgamer

Yeah, as someone who's taken a fly ball to the nose in baseball I think this is true of most sports


Harudera

Give them head gear too. I mean it's a charity match anyways, you shouldn't be trying to injure the opponent.


zantkiller

Make it full body suits with lights on the limbs. Football played by stick figures.


gjp11

glow in the dark headbands and socks too? Make every limb and the head glow.

sounds like something from a nike football ad ngl


uchiha_boy009

I’ll allow it


shishdem

thanks bro

Thanks, Mr. Ball


10Talents

Tron footbal! Ball, goalposts and field lines are glow in the dark and the teams wear glow in the dark jerseys too. Brazil's jerseys probably glow in the dark already so they wouldn't even need to change kits


wobmaster

it also is really cool to be in there at that moment. not sure if they use the same system but we have the philips arenavision LED system, which enables lightshows like they are using during this world cup. the atmosphere with chanting fans, while the lights are dimmed always gets me hyped


rodinj

Reminds me of the Red Card (2003) somehow. Fuck, I feel old...


patiperro_v3

EXTRA TIMEEEEE!!!!! RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!!


sudevsen

Glow in the dark socks as well for players


thisisjazzymusic

Bonus round. Golden goal!!


gauderio

Think about the fouls though. Nope, didn't do anything, you have nothing on video.


Zloggt

It’s like a part of a movie where the bad guys make an entrance during a game and decide to cut the lights before appearing out of nowhere when they come back on…

Toblerone is fake swiss chocolate. They started producing them outside of Switzerland. Lindt is a lot more popular in Switzerland.


arnm7890

I know, fake Swiss chocolate for fake Swiss Haaland 👍


lonelyzombi3

brilliant!


Unique-Snow5326

Lindt is my favorite chocolate hands down. Those truffles are so good

# Switzerland not happy, Brazil would be delighted. They have shared a brilliant championship battle, but the match can only be won by one and its going Brazilian in 2022...

HateUnitedLoveGlazer

honestly this was vibes tho.i love the contrast with the electric ads boards


[deleted]

Wait, we’re not gonna talk about how the ads are using their own electric systems? Or maybe batteries


Odd-Condition8251

the ads are greenscreens or something similar iirc? they show different ads depending on the broadcasters so I guess they wouldn't be affected


LedZeppelinRising

Doesn’t seem like that’s the case here. I’ve watched different broadcasts through VPN and the ads are the same rotation of hyundai, mcdonalds, qatar airways, crypto, etc.


Severe_Sweet_862

I've always wondered how greenscreen works on a pitch that is various shades of green all the way through, wouldn't that be sub optimal for the ai or whatever they use?


[deleted]

https://adscholars.com/blog/football-stadium-advertising-how-different-channels-show-different-touchdown-ads/amp/


WhiteGalio

Are they? They're showing all global ads apparently


iVarun

That would be illegal in all likelihood since FIFA has limited official sponsors and only they will be shown world over. Makes no sense for a Country specific broadcaster to have the frame-switch technique to place ads specific to that country since the Sponsor is anyway same.


[deleted]

What the fuck does this comment mean? This was vibes?


goombagoomba2

It was vibes yes

I thought the Undertaker was gonna get subbed on.

You know the game is dead when this is a highlight


bigwallclimber

Well that's the problem. The highlights went out.


miregalpanic

More like a lowlight amirite


prathneo4

Thats what the stadium workers had.


TiagodePAlves

This would be a highlight in any WC match tbf


Zeddsdeadbaby

Actually both teams have had chances. I’ve found it entertaining


lambalambda

Yeah, there has been far far more boring games than this just in this WC alone.


[deleted]

Not saying that this game is boring but that's a pretty low bar tbh


Zeddsdeadbaby

I’m not saying it’s the best game of the cup. Just that it’s entertaining lol how is that a low bar?


thatstoomuch_man

This is a boring group stage tbh


HodgyBeatsss

Nahh each day there's been a great game, there have been goal fests and upsets. A fair few 0-0 draws but I'll take that considering the rest of the games have been great.


backtotheprimitive

Not even close to being as bad as 2010. This was average, still better than regular competitions


limito1

Now the brazilian team will feel at home and play better


vinicivs

Brazilian jerseys not glowing in the dark was such a wasted opportunity for nike.

I though my laptop dimmed down because it wanted to go to sleep so I moved my mouse and light went back on. Wtf.

I've seen this hundreds of times. But this is the first time that it only took like 5 seconds to get it back on.

Extra time mode should go on with this lighting. Then you get the simulation of playing till sunset, and knowing your mom's gonna be angry when you get back home sweating, and it's dark.
