France won a World Cup on the back of Olivier Giroud’s hold up play. He didn’t score a goal the entire tournament.

Will be interesting to see this group, I expect goals. Exciting ones.

Excited to see two African teams in France and Senegal go head-to-head in the World Cup.

Would anyone like to elaborate as to why we are playing at 2pm on a work day as the host nation? Why on earth are we not the primetime spot on Friday?

Because the schedule of the matches is dictated before the teams in that slot are even known. How do you think a Pride Match between Egypt v. Iran happened?

I don't understand how we're currently a bigger favorite over Australia than Morrocco is Scotland (-175 to -135).

Has anyone noticed there is an over representation of non-white kids paired with the teams/players?

Wouldn't the host nations know their slot before the draw? I could be mistaken, but I assume we knew were were in group D well before any of the other teams that qualified. That is why we have 2 games in LA. That is why Mexico and Canada have their group games all in their counties.

kick offs deep out of bounds into opponent territory is definitely a trend now

That was France's player that stepped on his own goalies foot and he went down and got a foul call. Wow

Donovan can go call Mexico games but he really doesn’t have any business with the US anymore
