World Cup

[SuperBigFan69]

I will say this...Soccer is a great sport for little kids. You can shrink the field with ease, you can get a lot of kids out there at once, there are almost no real rules for them to learn/follow and most parents don't ruin it because they don't care at all.

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.

NBA are the biggest babies

Relax the offsides so more goals are scored and more people would watch.

Yeah, NBA players are babies too but they are also crazy jacked. Soccer players look like me.

Totally agree on the offsides. A painted line and/or just getting rid of it and the games would be way better. Just the THREAT of more goals would make it more interesting.

I won't be watching a single match. Zero interest

 

[BetterRed1]

The perfect game for insomnia. I’d rather spend 3 hours of a crab pinching my nuts than watch that chit. As far as pussies go….baseball players at least fight and willing to take a fastball to the ribs. Soccer players fall down and whine for no reason. Worst fking game.

USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! Can't wait.

 

[Claud-Henry Smoot]

There is a bit of "line" just on the strips of grass but VAR covers offsides ...this is a fun thread on the Euro experience of the US

 

[Claud-Henry Smoot]

Ive been to matches in the UK and once you are there its pretty cool experience. Id like to get to Spain and Germany. Interacting with different cultures and seeing their version of gameday is pretty neat too

Deli's single-handedly improving the reputation and image of our country one by one

 

[Redscarlet]

Heard that where the games played in America the restaurant’s automatically put a 20% tip of your bill because the europeans don’t or hate tip.

 

[DrAlan_Grant]

I just want to see the US win, so the whole world can ***** about it.

I knew there was a reason I was drawn to this thread.

I like when they try to tell you that one team plays with more "passion" and "creativity" my god...

Well they do seem to find more creative ways to flop every World Cup.

But yeah it's funny when soccer fans try to act like it's this highly sophisticated sport or something. It's literally just kicking a ball back and forth for 99% of the match, waiting until the other team becomes so bored that they let one of your players slip behind the defense and get a shot. And even then, most of the time they still miss.

Just placed a wager on the USA to win tonight. That is all they need to do, just win.

 

[Claud-Henry Smoot]

Remember if it ends 1-1 that doesn't count as a push

Ugggg, I know!!!

Soccer wagers are nuts.

Now, is Regulation 90 minutes?? Or is the fake extra time part of regulation?

Enciso is playing

THIS!!!
The fact that teams don't just try to get more shots on net instead of trying for the "perfect" shot is soooooo stupid.

Just kick the ball towards the next and hope for a lucky bounce or great rebound kick. Hockey figured this out years ago.

All extra time counts and if its tied at the end its tied. I like that the over under is for regulation time only. I think OT extra innings etc should never count for total bets. Line is set for regulation so it should be graded as such

 

[skin-tight]

US will need to play long balls against Para

 

[skin-tight]

YES YES YES!

 

[SuperBigFan69]

USA just scored the most passionate goal I have ever seen!

 

[Claud-Henry Smoot]

All that work then you score on your own team

 

[SuperBigFan69]

Me: Teams should just kick the ball towards the goal more and more instead of trying for the perfect shot.

Team USA: Does exactly what I said and gets a lucky goal.

Me: I could coach Team USA

 

[Claud-Henry Smoot]

 

[skin-tight]

terrible first touch

 

[SuperBigFan69]

C'mon...that murder was totally an accident! hahaha

The USA uniforms look like a poorly thought out family reunion t-shirt, that the “weird” Aunt picked out.

 

[HuskerInCarolina]

I love watching the Olympics and World Cup but my God soccer players are a bunch dramatic whiney grass fairies. They make this era of NBA players seem modest. You barely got tapped, not lost your leg to an IED.

With that, lets go USA!!

 

[skin-tight]

the 2nd goal was clinical

 

[Claud-Henry Smoot]

Glad they got a real goal scored make it 3

 

[HuskerInCarolina]

USA is keeping insane pressure on Paraguay. Freese has been picking dandelions off the turf and making shapes out of the clouds back in goal! What a half!!

 

[HuskerInCarolina]

Glad they got a real goal scored make it 3

keep demanding more from them this tournament, they're listening to you my friend!!

 

[skin-tight]

O M G beautiful
