Preparing Attitudes for the 2022 Qatar World Cup
Cheering for All South Korea National Team Players♥
On the 20th, the World Cup, a festival for people around the world, kicked off in Qatar. Soccer fans have been waiting and waiting for the World Cup for a long four years. The DrinKit editors feel the same way! Hearing the resounding “Dae~hanminguk!” at the opening ceremony stirred up our patriotism, and we hoped that the South Korean national team players would have a great time in Qatar.
Then suddenly, I started wondering how to cheer more meaningfully for this group stage match. All you need is your favorite food and a cold beer. That’s actually the foundation and the truth. I felt that ordering delivery might arrive after the game ends, so this time I decided to cook?no, prepare it myself. Check out what snacks the editors chose to enjoy with beer while watching the matches right now.
Editor A: Chicken
No matter what anyone says, there’s no better snack than chicken and beer. Since soccer and chicken & beer (chimaek) are officially linked(?), it’s a menu that worries you more when ordering delivery. So I prepared frozen chicken drumsticks and buffalo wings from the Sase brand in the freezer. It’s not the crispy fried chicken, but the taste is really good. As long as you have a microwave, you can enjoy chewy and warm chicken, which is really convenient. It’s salty and even a bit spicy, so you don’t get tired of it. If you get angry during the game, try switching to the Hurricane Chicken drumsticks. They contain the world’s spiciest pepper, the Carolina Reaper, so you can feel an intense heat. It’s 150 times spicier than Cheongyang chili peppers!
Editor S: Hamburger
When I was only thinking about chicken & beer, a hamburger suddenly crossed my mind. I always thought soda was essential when eating a hamburger, so I usually enjoyed cola. But to enjoy the World Cup even more, I plan to choose beer instead of cola. Franchise burgers are good, and handmade burgers are good too, but this time I specially chose a convenience store hamburger. The reason, as mentioned before, is the worry that delivery might be late. This time I bought the Real Double Shrimp Burger from CU convenience store. I used to think all convenience store burgers were the same, but I was surprised to find it contained as many as five cocktail shrimps. Aside from that, it tastes like the typical convenience store burger. Taking big bites and washing it down with beer was really great. Hamburger and beer combo was a success!
Editor J: Snacks
The matches in Group H, which includes Korea, take place at night Korean time. So it feels burdensome to eat high-calorie snacks. But since I can’t not drink beer or skip snacks, I chose snacks. I know snacks are surprisingly high in calories too. But since I was going to eat anyway, I wanted something light and tasty, so please don’t argue. To keep 0.1% of my conscience, I chose protein chips. They’re not fried in oil, so they’re light and crispy. The mild flavor kept me reaching for more, and by the time I was halfway through my beer, they were already gone. Feeling like you’re taking care of your health while drinking?sounds pretty good, right?
Number Cass
“I like beer” is what I shout, but for those who are serious about the World Cup, pay attention here for a moment. If you’ve recently had beer, you’ve probably seen Number Cass at least once. Cass is the official sponsor of the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup and has prepared Number Cass to bring joy to the public and support to the national team players. The Cass transparent bottles are engraved with numbers from 0 to 9 and the symbol “:”, allowing you to predict the match score or leave messages like 827 (fighting). Soccer fans even collect all the numbers and post certification photos. Additionally, the Cass website offers opportunities to enjoy six different games together, so check it out.
