Describing himself as a new football fan, Logan Paul is making some interesting comparisons between the FIFA World Cup and the WWE.
On X, he posted:
I’ve never been a Soccer fan but WOW I’ve watched most of the tournament and this World Cup has amazed me. Here are some things I’ve realized about the sport:
1.) Soccer is wildly physical. These players push, shove, and beat the shit out of each other & a lot of it goes unnoticed by the refs. You gotta be extremely durable to thrive on the pitch.
2.) So much theater. These guys sell being “hurt” better than some of my peers in the WWE.
3.) Penalty kicks are fkn insane. PK’s gotta be the most exciting/fucked thing in all of sports. Imagine being a goal keeper?? Soccer goes from team sport to individual sport QUICKLY, probably a mental nightmare for the athletes who lose on behalf of an entire country from a tiny mistake.
4.) The referees can completely screw the game, the players, and entire nations with one call. That sucks.
5.) This event may be the closest thing to world unity. All eyes on these athletes on the biggest stage in the world. Superstars are made. Careers forever changed. New fan.

Responses to his post were fast and furious:
First of all, it’s called football, not “soccer.” Get that right before trying to make your point, clown! pic.twitter.com/I9KxvJI9Vg

Why is Logan Paul being the most reasonable American to speak about football (soccer)
After some of the s–t I’ve seen last couple of days, Logan Paul being the most normal and likeable US citizen is mind blowing

There’s theater, yes.
But people that never played a minute overlook stuff like:
Have someone:
kick you in the shin or ankle
step over your feet with metal spikes
hit your knee with his knee from the side
hit your calves
hit your back with his shoulder or elbow while jumping— Omar J. Vera (@ojvera) July 8, 2026

Nothing seems to unite the whole world more than football, especially the FIFA World Cup. I wish there are more ways it could be utilised to make positive impact in people’s lives

Logan, a WWE guy who sells scripted fake-ass theater for a living calling soccer players dramatic is the most hypocritical shit I’ve heard all week.😂😂
