World Cup
- Thread starter Charlie Marlow
- Start date
Would take my son to see Argentina (likely Messi's last) or Portugal (likely Ronaldo's last) but holy **** are tickets to desirable countries insanely pricey. Would have considered Poland for Lewandoski but they were eliminated I believe.
Don’t care to watch paint dry.Yeah, we all know soccer isn’t a real sport

Parents originally from Iraq who have qualified for the first time in 40+ years. Taking my dad to the Iraq vs France game for his 75th birthday and going to the Iraq vs Senegal game. Yes I paid an arm and a leg but I figure watching the world cup in the states without flights and hotels is likely cheaper than seeing any future games abroad. Once in a lifetime I figure.
As for who is going to win? France and Spain are going to be tough to beat and England could maybe pull off a stunner.

First prize is 2 tickets. Second prize is 4 tickets.
It starts today. What is everyone eating and drinking while they spend the next month glued to the tv sets watching all the excitement?
None of you haters came to my WNBA Draft watch party, so I'm sitting this one out!
Cant wait .. next month should be a fun watch. Will get to KC for a match that isnt Argentina. Our country is a bit of a **** show right now hopefully we dont further embarrass ourselves in regards to treatment of visitors and participants. Zlatan being on the Fox coverage should be very entertaining

Not if you bought me steak amd lobster... my two favorite food groups. Toss in a couple lesbians, and i'd listen to your offer. I'd have to see the lesbians first before agreeing to watch though.
Algerian coworker comes up to me and asks me if I'm interested in the world cup. I told him, there's not enough alcohol to make it interesting. Then he shows me his phone and showing the game on his screen. He proceeds to tell me how exciting it is. I tell him it has never been exciting. So, I guess I saw a minute!

I really tried to get excited in 1994, but the OJ thing was so much more exciting then, and the trial had not even begun.
I was bored, so I read that Caitlan Clarkeye is not having such a good year.
I cannot name a single member of either US team. I can even name a couple of golfers and a couple NASCAR drivers, but not a single US team member. Kind of pathetic, both that I cannot name any, but at same time pathetic that there is so little excitement to make me pay attention!?!

Every rule in soccer has been designed to control/manipulate betting. Red cards are totally subjective. Offsides is made up when they could just simply paint a line on the field. The amount of time remaining is a total mystery.
That part doesn't bother me.
The crazy part are their fans. They are soooooo unhinged about liking soccer (American fans) that they literally get mad if you don't like soccer.
The extra time drives me crazy. Just stop the clock if you need to. Ive lost too many bets when a team scores in the 7th minute of 3 extra minutes of time.
Good Lord this sport is boring. How do people watch this for 90 minutes? It makes baseball seem exciting by comparison.
I enjoy Soccer. However the avg American exposure to good Soccer is limited. Just watch the World Cup or Olympic Games, and EPL and then try suffering through a MLS match (sad).
You want to watch something horrendous? try Cricket.

Korea won an exciting match tonight.
My wife (and best friend) is happy.
When my wife is happy, then I’m happy.

I like when they try to tell you that one team plays with more "passion" and "creativity" my god...
This is what soccer fans do!
"The average American" like, we don't understand soccer, we can't pick up on the passion and creativity like a "real" soccer fan can. A fan that watches matches from other countries.
Come on.
Offsides is based on where players are, can't paint a line.
I'll agree some of the **** is too subjective. But once you learn soccer and actually witness it live ( my son plays highschool). It's much more physical than people realize. I'll have a hot take and say baseball players are bigger pussies than soccer players by far.
..i would imagine standing in the box and staring out at a pitcher who can touch a hundy and watching that ball come at you would be considered way more badass than anything a soccer player goes through. BTW, do they coach soccer players how to flop or does it just come natural?
....i'm typing with a smile, i got zero probs woth you and am not trying to pick a silly fight.
They can paint a line, they just don't because it is easier to manipulate the calls. I totally get it, it is smart. No other sport has such a generic subjective rule that is probably also the most important rule in the entire sport. Hockey is the most similar and somehow they were able to paint a line.
Baseball players are probably the biggest babies, I can agree with that.
