I once went to a German girl’s house to watch FC Bayern play because I was trying to get laid. Even wore the jersey she gave me to wear. Decided it wasn’t worth it.

Soccer is a good game for kids.  It tires them out, even if it won't make a man out of them like a real sport would.

Nichi, can't say I have heard hockey players talk like this post-game in a 1 - 1 tie where you got your ass kicked in the 2d half. I would have had to check the rear view mirror on the way home to make sure the back of my car was not being destroyed by The AggressiveSon after a game like that one.

Soccer is more of a man's sport than basketball.

US has a young team, played with tons of energy in the first half, then candidly got outcoached in the 2nd half. Plus the roster management has been weird. One of our best young forwards isn't on the team (possibly injury) and one of our best players, period, Gio Reyna, got left on the bench today for reasons that make no sense. And the midfielder they brought on is better of late than probably two of the midfielders who started. So the Weber analogy isn't off.

The fact that such a highly anticipated match like Mexico vs Poland could end in a 0-0 tie is one of the reasons soccer mostly sucks.

Most of the pundits think they played overly defensive on both sides because they wanted to ensure at least a point on the expectation that they'd both beat Saudi Arabia and it would come down to who played Argentina better.

It was probably Dan McNeil’s. Tom Thayer had the same take until it was realized it was just a click-bait headline.

I highly recommend the Argo movie. Until watching it, I did not know that the fake movie crew had to go through every bit of setting up their gig as if it were a real movie.

Also, the Canadians were quite butthurt that their contribution to the rescue was largely ignored.

Probably 12 years to be honest

This might be the event that finally stops this bs of awarding World Cups and Olympics (Russia + China x 2) to countries with ridiculous human rights records. Throw in LIV golf and half the Tour De France teams and FIFA champions league teams being sponsored by Middle Eastern countries.

The bowl games are not all that important, so I likely won't be watching them. I hope others respect my decision.

That frees up the primary TV so my wife can watch Hallmark channel.

I might spend my extra free time researching men that represent pre and post global human civilization. I have a few preliminary ideas.

Ex-USA captain Claudio Reyna and his wife Danielle - Giovanni Reyna's parents - have admitted to reporting Gregg Berhalter's domestic violence incident with his wife 31 years ago to US Soccer, amid reports of an alleged blackmail plot.
