An Argentinian Ad talking about coincidences between 1986 and 2022 WC in a very sarcastic way,  but unfortunately it's only translated in Arabic

How 'alive' is it in your countries at the moment? Here in the Netherlands there's not that much about it, other than some news about the team and such (but not a ton of publicity ads and stuff in supermarkets and shops, like it used to be a few years ago when you'd see orange coloured nonsense everywhere by now), and in three weeks in Brazil I also barely noticed anything other than a handful of green/yellow things in supermarkets and a bunch of Brazilian flags on cars and windows which mostly remain there to show support for Bolsonaro :p 

 

I was rather surprised at how invisible the World Cup seemed to be in Brazil so shortly before the start, even though I know the elections have been the main focus these past months.

The cities in Hungary can barely put enough money together to have their annual Christmas markets and decorations on the streets. So you can probably guess that there won't be any kind of spectator zones for the World Cup. We might experience food shortages during Advent and a significant drop in the quality of life for the first time in many years, so this might be the worst possible time for a World Cup. This will be the World Cup known for "watching footballers play in a rich desert country while we freeze in our homes and have the most depressing Christmas ever".

Its very slow here in Brazil, even on TV there arent many advertising yet.

 

Its probably because the elections that stills monopolizating the mídia and the talks around the country.

 

Its gonna change before the first game but its very "cold" in comparation with the last WC

What's so strange about this is that this is very clearly your best chance to win since 2006, maybe even since 2002. If any nations should be hyped about this World Cup, it's :BRA and :ARG

Seems to be very slow here too. Definitely the usual Summer atmosphere is very much absent.

 

But also, memories from 2018 are still all nice and heartwarming. And since the odds of repeating something like it are slim to none, I giess that makes it another contributing factor in the apparent disinterest.

maybe less than in Antarctica right now, but I saw a world cup coca-cola ad last weekend, but nothing else here suggest a WC will start next week apart the small countdown on the left top of the screen of our national TV sport channel...in other hand why should it, since we don´t play there :p
