This is where it gets weird. People don’t just watch the draw. They perform for it. Some fans wear their lucky shirt from 1998. Others refuse to sit down during the ceremony. One bloke on Reddit once said he only watches while eating a specific brand of crisps. He swears it worked. Did it? Probably not. But the superstition is half the fun.
There’s also the “pen and paper” crew. They’re the ones frantically scribbling down groups. They act like they’re cracking a secret code. Spoiler: they’re just writing “Group A: Qatar, Ecuador…” like everyone else. It’s adorable.
