Spain vs Argentina
should be a hell of a final
should be a hell of a final
My gosh it's beautiful. That is better than what I hoped. Heartbreak city.
Beyond happy Argentina won. I've wished nothing but ill will towards England since I found out those sick fvcks eat beans and tomatoes for breakfast.
Do the teams in the 3-4 game even care? Surprised they do this.
Messi is clearly the best of his generation. I really like Christiano Ronaldo but he is not anywhere close to Messi.
As I said a couple of games ago, I've abandoned trying to argue that Pele or Maradonna is better. Messi is thebest to ever play.
Safe to say that Weston McKwnnie’s former Air Force Captain father is not a Trumper…
So players didn't want Flo to play? Flo didn't want to play?
Maybe they should look in the mirror and just admit they weren't ready, they aren't that good, and played the worst possible match at the wrong time.
In commemoration of the all Spanish speaking final, here’s a golden oldie clip of favorite Spanish speaking comedian:
Eustaqio’s winning goal to put them in the Round of 16 gives MLS players yet another massive goal in this tournament, to go along with: Musa equalizer vs England, Galarza game winner vs Turkey, Surman equalizer vs Egypt, Berhalter equalizer vs Turkey, Shaffelburg against Qatar, and Messi scoring on everyone in bunches for the Golden Boot lead. FOX, Apple TV, and league owners have to be loving this year’s tournament.
Also, @jaxhawk: Making any extra trips out to Soldier Field this summer?

Polish striker left Barcelona and he’s joining as free agent as new chapter is starting...www.threads.com
Lol, I was going to tonight's game and stupid Canada had to bring their wildfire smoke here and postpone the game
I just looked. Chicago has 3 USL teams and the MLS team. I haven't been to a soccer game in Chicago since the early 80s when the NASL Chicago Sting were playing at the old Comiskey Park.
Oh, this will go over well

I was in Chicago seeing family, but was going to pass because of the smoke. I don’t mind because I would like to see Lewandowski get more practice reps before our first match.

USL Miami FC at Tampa Bay Rowdies, a week from Saturday, 7/25. That will be my first in-person soccer game since watching a sorority intramural game at FSU in 1988 or so.
I believe Miami FC have Curaçao’s hero goalkeeper that helped them to their first World Cup, Eloy Room. The guy just broke the World Cup regulation saves record in a shutout against Ecuador. I could see him being gone soon. And they have the Curaçao winger, Curtis Jorgensen. I love how they have turned that ballpark into a soccer stadium. Hope you have a good time!
U.S. Soccer is exploring a complete overhaul of the youth soccer system amid renewed scrutiny of pay-to-play following the USMNT's Round of 16 World Cup exit — with the goal of making the game more accessible and affordable
⚽️ U.S. Soccer COO Dan Helfrich: “We are not seeking to make the current system more affordable. We’re trying to create a new system that then we make highly affordable. It’s a really important distinction.”
Arsène Wenger, speaking alongside Helfrich at U.S. Soccer’s headquarters outside Atlanta: “From outside, I felt that people from a poor background had no access to the game. That is quite a big part of the population that usually in Europe, the best football players come from poor backgrounds. We want maybe a job to do as well to make it possible and available for everybody and after to be consistent because it’s not a short-term fix.”
The discussion centered on how the federation can continue growing the sport after what U.S. Soccer CEO JT Batson called an “incredibly successful” World Cup that “has fundamentally changed the trajectory of the sport in the United States.”

You guys remember "British soccer camp". Basically a bunch of drunk english dudes threw a ball out and charged our parents 400 bucks.
Honestly there is a part of this that makes me wonder whether I should have more respect for France not giving a **** for a third place game.
The French appears to be in full retreat. Who saw that coming?
Kirk ferentz not happy with all this scoring
