Right?! I still look back at those, playing 1 game Friday night, 2 Saturday games, and then a final on Sunday very fondly. I have no idea how I ever played that many minutes in midfield/winger those weekends, but I guess everyone else was arse dragging by the Saturday evening match too.

Or I was just a kid with infinite energy, oh the days.

I screamed so loudly at this it spooked my wife, who hasn't heard me react to the only other sport I watch consistently (Auburn football) in years.

I've just kind of accepted that Auburn is on the struggle bus, and I never played football so the ease or not of a play isn't something I can always judge. But I played 9 years of soccer and holy frick Freese.
The gap in ability between our team and Belgium is not that large. The mental gap last night though was...woof. We just locked up, played extremely tight (hard direct passes, difficulty settling the ball) and very hesitant on defense. Guys let the stage and the opportunity go to their heads and they cracked pretty badly.
How do you relocate a bird with wings capable of flying from Canada to the Gulf? The shite birds will just fly back lol.
Top club teams would kill most national teams except the absolute best 3 maybe? And even then most top club teams are formed of the best players money can buy in a given position and they play together for much longer then players get to train and play together on a national team.

God damn I opened this worried he had been arrested or in a car wreck or some shite. Just one or two context clues in the titles please :lol:
Shhh shhhh shhh shhh. Alabama is DEFINITELY the worst of the three. Super inhospitable to outsiders too. I would DEFINITELY never move here.
Right?! Holy shite it took a civilian blind siding the guy to give the 2 cops a chance. Craziness.

Varies by state, but between 60 to 90% of cats in the US are indoor only.

Compare that to Europe, where only 15 to 35% of cats are indoor only (varies by country).

So yeah maybe PETA can take that up with the people across the pond.
I think the easy argument here is expanded NBA/CFB playoffs etc cheapen the regular season.

But WC is so different from the "regular season" of soccer (your various leagues etc) that it is a unique and special thing. Players playing for their nation with players they normally would not (or even play against most weekends) is super unique and different.
That's a fine argument for potentially even more soccer. It sounded like you were just complaining about a longer group play time period which seemed silly.

WC play is so different from other sports that I'm all for whatever pulls in more teams and more games.
Man that dude decided to check out CFB for the first time and tuned in to watch the Prayer in Jordan Hare happen and decided watching Aub is rn was so awesome he watch the next game and tuned in to the Kick Six game lol.

Guy walked into 2 top 10 CFB moments and has had to endure bring an Auburn fan ever since :lol:
I know right, how awful that we have all this extra soccer we have to watch...
The men agreed to take less pay for the national team to make the men and women's "pay" equal.
Yeah he's getting paid somewhere in Europe after this.
Unlocked nothing, when 6 of them stand in the 6 yard box it's hard to not get blocked. Pain in the arse shite style of soccer.
Because companies want a contrasting color to stand out against the green grass and their competitors. This cycle though they either all bought the same focus group data, bought the same consulting data, or had a mass hallucination across all the major names who produce cleats because every. Single. Company. Went. With. Pink.

I miss the neon yellows, oranges, reds, classic whites and blacks being all over the field. Marketing depts must be fuming because you can't tell one brand from another since they're all frickin pink.
Seek broader appeal? The world's most popular sport? What in the troll bs is this...
