I've been growing to sort of understand sports and balls thereof and I feel like Data about it. I'm observing human activities. The world cup is about being in a group and yelling together I think
Riker takes Data to watch the federation worlds cup¹ with him and Data's just kind of standing there (having fun) (likes being included) and like, cheering whenever everybody else does
¹baseball is Sisko's weird niche historical special interest but I fully believe soccerfootball will remain largely unchanged in the future. This is actually canon I think per Worf's childhood trauma
After the world cup the winning team gets to represent earth at the worlds cup and it's an even bigger deal
Place your bets who's winning the worlds cup
Earth
Vulcan
Andoria
Tellar Prime
Trill
Betazed
Bajor
Sauria
How dare you forget- (other federation member)
How dare you not include- (non-federation planet)
VAI BAJOR NUMERO UM CAMPEÃO DO GALÁXIA ‼️‼️‼️‼️
