The ultimate pre-match icebreaker for your World Cup watch party

The snacks are prepped, the drinks are chilled, and your mates are walking through the door. But as everyone settles in before the big World Cup kick-off, there is always that slightly awkward 20-minute pocket of time where people are just waiting for the match to start. Instead of relying on the same old pre-match punditry or forcing polite small talk, it’s time to up your hosting game. You need something fast, loud, and competitive to get the energy in the room exactly where it needs to be.
