I knew it was over before the game even started because the idiots were playing Country Roads in the stadium during the warmups. Can’t play the victory song until its time.

People can get pushed to the ground, grabbed, whatever, then randomly a ref runs out with a yellow card and at times the replay shows the person wasn’t even touched, just flopped. Either let them play or make a little consistency there.
That was fun to care about soccer for two weeks.. Now back to football preseason
Embarrassing last couple days for FIFA, embarrassing 90 minutes for us, a poetic end.
Did we win any 1 v 1's tonight? Totally outclassed.
Man, the back end is rough. France would’ve scored like 7 goals.
Oh well, the US played to their ranking. The rest of the WC should be awesome and EPL starts next month

I think this is critical.
I have had kids play club basketball, baseball, and soccer. Soccer is BY FAR the worst. It’s terrible.
I’m sorry, but that keeper had one of the worst games I’ve ever seen. He was constantly out of position. A good keeper and that game is tied right now at worst.
Soccer is the worst, but charges the most, or close to it. Hard to figure out how that’s possible.
It all comes down to money. If our soccer leagues can get to the point of paying similar amounts as football and basketball, then it’ll be easier to get athletes to choose soccer. But also remember that there’s a 10-15 year delay between getting that momentum and having players be ready for this level. You don’t pick up soccer in high school and be a top player. That starts as a young child and you need developmental programs all along your development.
People are going to play the sports they enjoy. Soccer is boring, play 90 minutes or more, run many miles all over the field and only score a couple points. That's like watching Iowa play themselves in FB (or even now in BB), no thanks.
As far as betting is concerned, it was a pick 'em, shockingly. I made money.
