That was the point of his thread, I believe. That championship or bust thinking is annoying and bad.

But the execution wasn’t great.

Colombia & Portugal are playing and this clown is watching Congo/Uzbekistan

This was my thought.

I bet this idiot didn’t even realize there are two games playing right now.

So I’ve been watching the World Cup for the last 45 minutes. It’s so boring. They kick the ball back and forth for twenty minutes, then it looks like something will happen. Nothing happens. Then they kick the ball around again. I don’t get soccer.

Imagine watching two golfers putt the ball back and forth for 96 minutes. That’s what I just watched.

Portugal-Colombia was anything but boring… like 34 combined shots and some great saves to keep it 0-0. It felt like a goal was coming the whole match even though it didn’t

I noticed this also. Maybe soccer just isn’t for me.

That was an awesome match

If the tension and the back and forth didn’t grab you, then yeah, you’re probably just not into it. Nothing wrong with that

the tension


This is what American non-soccer doesn’t understand about the World Cup. The World Cup takes place once every 4 years. The vast majority of professional athletes have a very small window. Outside of maybe the Champions League, representing your country in the WC is one of every professional soccer players’ dream and goal. So these players are giving their all during and that makes this tourney one of the best sporting events in the world.

I know, right?

Like football, what's the point of rent a wins, they know they're gonna lose.

Why isn't the NCAA basketball tournament like just 2 rounds???? Booger State's got no chance against Duke...

Your concern is noted.

How does the NFL survive when two teams that have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs have to face off? God forbid they play for pride, or at the very least exposure/name recognition in hopes of moving to a bigger club around the world.

You caught many insecure soccer fans with that hook. Good job.
