And to a country roughly the size of New Jersey?!!!!??
I apologize @chuck. This is more boring than baseball.
Truth is I totally get why baseball and soccer are boring to people. Soccer can be boring as fuck.
It's just like anything else. If you played it and were good, and/or had kids who were into it and good and/or got stuck coaching it and were good at that, you tend to tolerate the boredom or even like it. You're constantly seeing stuff that impresses you or pisses you off just like when it's a cool sport.
Baseball, though, is not boring. That's some intense shit.

It's intense like a staring contest is intense. I'd fall asleep watching either.
Soccer has one fatal issue, that being almost as big of a flopping problem as Oregon. Fix the constant stoppage for broken vaginas, and it's the only popular sport that's pretty much constant action. I guess some people need to constantly see the scoreboard move to be entertained, but there's no difference between nice soccer play in the middle of the field and a nice 20 yard football play from your team's own end or sack or interception or whatever.
I think it goes back to South America this year. Brazil and Argentina are so loaded, edge to Argentina. France is loaded, too, but don't play as well as a team (Mbappe is amazing but a team cancer). Germany is as good as always, but edge to the SA teams.
As I recall the world cup is marred by cautious play and ties in group play
Still bitter about My Mexicans getting robbed in 14 as well
There's a lot of insufferable shit in soccer and that's one of the things. I've seen two teams basically playing with 10 defenders and no real interest in trying to score. Top that with an uptick in faking injuries and some of the most faggy refereeing (quick yellow cards) and I now think it's unwatchable.

If the US actually cared we would dominate. Imagine the roster just taking backup WR’a and CB’s from NFL teams. Thus I don’t care.
Soccer is 80% kicking the ball around backwards. Worst sport created by humanity and is only for poor people who can't afford equipment to play REAL sports.

We get it, you're super tough and manly.
No, just not a soccer fag.
What do you say about someone who says baseball is the worst, most boring sport ever invented? Soccer people are the most sensitive sports fans on the planet.
1. Inability to control tempo in midfield when holding a lead. 2. Poor decision-making on counter attacks, which left goals on the table. Need to recognize runs and play the pass early before defenders can react.
The first half was probably the best I’ve ever seen them play at a WC. Should have been up 2-3 at halftime.
Also, Ronaldo is a diving cunt snd Gareth Southgate is driving his Ferrari like a Ford.

USA won't make it out of the group stage. Wales on goal differential by beating Iran by more than the US
