World Cup 2018 Thread


Recommended Posts

It’s not excellent when a team does nothing but try not to let a goal in, rags the puck the whole game

 

its why North America will never love the game, wussy tactics like this don’t fly if you watch other sports

Well, I may be provincial, but I have to agree that sort of thing keeps me from being anything more than a casual fan. I watch World Cup and pick a team for laughs. I'm for Croatia this time. Argentina seemed a bunch of bad sports.

A lot of the love for soccer is the kind where you don’t watch it, you just dream a fantasy about how awesome it is and don’t watch it closely......

 

so South Korea could advance and Mexico could get bounced....  Mexico can’t take a dive against Sweden, they want a tie or win

Hell, that's how I watch golf.  I put in on because golf courses are pretty and I don't really care who wins.

I still have wishes of majors for Tiger.....

 

i watch three soccer games a week for decades and always laugh how fans who don’t watch at all become experts at World Cup time

 

it is amusing unless they get snippy and pissy with me, thinking Tunisia is a powerhouse and Belgium whipping them means Belgium is the best team in the tourney...

 

yeah okay....

I would like to see Tiger win again, but it seems like a pipedream, alas.

Women that I know would not like that at all

 

 

I read a long article a couple years back about Tiger and his father. He had a lot of issues and acted badly towards his wife, but I still believe he is a flawed, but decent fella at heart. I can understand if others feel differently.

Loving VAR. Great move and I hope it becomes the norm in all high level matches.  Cleaning up a lot of controversies.  

 

Sounds like what people were saying after the first few weeks of NFL replay.  Now it's a gigantic cluster!@#$.

I never think about athletic personal lives unless they are committing felonies 

 

And again all the women in my life despise him.... I know when to shut up.....

People just want all the calls to go the way of the team they are cheering for.

 

this will not solve that in the least bit, it makes people angrier because you are wasting their time and they just make up whatever they want anyway with replay

 

are Bills fans happy with replay getting justice for the Bills with officials???  ?

in fact the WC is kind of a bad time for real fans because of all the non-fans jumping into it with no knowledge about the sport

 

like that beta man at work who is suddenly a big NFL fan on Super Bowl weekend, knows nothing about football, couldn’t name two players but is convinced he has complete knowledge of he sport and can lecture you, a season ticket holder for 30 years

I cannot believe how bad Panama is. They don't deserve to play on the same pitch as England.

 

 

 

Panama is underrated.  Qualifying in CONCACAF is hard...

 

Signed,

I bet the US could have made it in if we only had to fight Trinidad or Tobago. Both islands together are just too powerful!  UNFAIR!
