    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.

    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.

    Two major issues with the US.

    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.
