What is so important w the 1986 World Cup that you keep referencing it? I was not belittling I was trying to educate. In hindsight I shouldn't have made the hockey comment I was trying to give him background.
That probably I have been a longer fan than most of CF football fans here and I think I can be a good example of “older” fans not making certain type of comments that can be construed as belittling the others. Soccer has became really popular and the last thing we need is the “classification” of fans. We all love soccer and terms changed over time.

Glad that you realize that hockey comment wasn’t a good idea. I wasn’t trying to start a fight but that goalie term has been used for a long time. Not sure why you seemed so dead set that it’s only for hockey while there are evidence that the term has been used widely by respected figures in soccer.

Go right ahead and call it goalie...the sensitivity is
Ok.

Goal number 4. I know it's against an opponent who is terrible and we should do this BUT it's good to see this group ACTUALLY do it. We've seen many times in the USMNT history where they only put up a couple of goals and kind of look disjointed against far inferior teams. Not tonight thus far.

I know they are awful, but how does St. Kitts & Nevis even field a soccer team. Their population is like 50k.
