World Cup fan celebrations are the actual show this tournament, the games are just the excuse. If the sport itself has never made sense, this is the entry point that finally clicks: not the offside rule, but the noise a hundred years of rivalry makes when it finally boils over.

There’s a lost voice, a three in the morning wake-up call delivered as a favour, and a national anthem sung so hard it takes over a baseball game that has nothing to do with soccer. None of it needed context to be funny the first time, and none of it needs it now.

Anyone who has ever wondered what makes a country lose its mind over a ball for a month gets the answer here, in sound, not stats.
