All kidding aside, I do appreciate the skill and athleticism required to play at this level…

What i like about the soccer flop is the antics and all the drama, then they get up and run full speed like nothing ever happened.

The women don't do it.

One more thing: Japan's second and winning goal against Germany this morning was a monumentally hard-to-comprehend feat of athletic perfection and beauty.

What an angle....!!

I used to run the roads to train…
It felt like drudgery and like I had 100 lbs on each foot.

Put a soccer ball in front of me…
Felt like my feet were light as feathers…
And could jog/sprint for most of a game…sometimes three games in one day/three more the next day for tournaments.

Okay game.

England looked/is stronger and better.

Beat Iran or homebound.

Brute · Nov 25, 2022

I feel much better with a draw today with England than our draw with Wales…

I’ve worn baseball spikes and football spikes a loooong time ago but never realized soccer footwear came with weapons one should register before using/playing. Eye-foot coordination supreme. Big respect.
Jesus, no wonder they get happy feet when they collide or defend.

Ecuador was damn well amazing against the Dutch

Those Iranian guys probably get killed if they lose to the US when they return home.

But if they win, they'll have some hunger games style opportunities to make a statement about their awful regime

If all teams in a group tie every game and have equal goal differentials, who advances to the next round?

Oh come on, they aren't Colombia.

If it's still a four way tie after counting cards they draw straws. Odds are it will never happen, but what a terrible way to be sent packing.

Why don't they use penalty kicks in group play?
