I would hate 'Murica a lot less if they qualified for the World Cup.
Sometimes I feel like a lot of Americans cheer for England? I hate them as much as Mexico and cheer loudly when they inevitably flop.
Saw that E60 thing about the hooligans that fight other hooligans and random strangers in Russia. Shame the World Cup wasn’t being played almost anywhere else in the world.
I’m rooting for the Belgians. I’m going over there next month so maybe I’ll pick up a jersey or something.
With the full-day slate of games begins, I thought I'd throw out my Award Predictions for the 2018 Cup
World Cup Predictions:
Semi-Final: Germany v Croatia, France v Belgium
Final: Germany v Belgium
Champion: Germany
Dark Horse: Croatia
Surprise Team: Senegal
Golden Boot: Messi
Golden Ball: Isco or Salah
Golden Gloves: Thibaut Courtois
Young Player Award: Kylian Mbappe
Most Likely Red Car: Enzo Perez

Listened to this pod yesterday, that basically says Russia has weaponized hooligans and they've legalized cocaine outside of the stadiums for the WC. Gotta thing that's going to end poorly.

BTW They really should have replayed the Russia match at night last night. I turned it on and was going to just watch it with my kids for a bit but I couldn't find it anywhere.
They replayed it on FS1 late last night. I’m guessing you will be able to find replays on FS1 and FS2 most nights.
I'm pretty sure the FoxSports App has the replays on there as well. If you have the ability to get that on your TV through a device or usb connection or something.
Tbh, thats worse than a JR Smith.
Not to get too grim but, the first thing I thought of when watching that live was the player that was killed for doing the same thing in a world cup back in 1994. Albeit I don't think the Moroccans have as many die hard fans and a heavy cartel influence hah
VAR rightfully awards a penalty that the ref missed in the Peru-Denmark match. And then Cueva from Peru steps up and skies the ball into the stands. Woof.
