GeneticBlueprint Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The joke is good because it rings true. All I'm getting from this thread is that soccer isn't a good experience in person since there's no TV announcer. Or that if it is in person then you need to have a buzz which nobody at this World Cup can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about the lack of comments on this game though I've been pretty legitimately excited. Just eating ramen and standing close to the TV and bouncing up and down like I'm a kid again. it would be a disaster if they didn’t get out of the group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been to NBA games and I’ve been to MLS and Primera División matches. Every sport has ebb and flow. And those had much more in common in terms of vibe than they do with any of probably a hundred MLB games I’ve been to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think England is safe to finish top and Iran the bottom. It was always between US and Wales for the second spot.

Comet Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I can't wait for the USMNT to move on passed having to use MLS defenders. Zimmerman, just ruined the game. Also, the fuck is Berhalter smoking? Jordan Morris over Gio Reyna???! You have a generational talent there and you put in Morris?

This is a thread where you can enjoy a sport once every 4 years soaked in national pride and a ton of heartache. If people can fucking muster excitement for curling in the Olympics than I can’t imagine people can’t find enjoyment in watching soccer at this event. Join us bud. Maybe you can forget your constant dread about life for a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
