U.S. Sassuolo Calcio is not happy right now.

@Pablo loves Bocce, can I play too?

Sounds like a mutually agreed upon contract to me.

Seems you and Pablo very much like semantics.

Well true injuries always a risk. Even in soccer

I generally believe words have specific meanings and I don’t think it’s always just semantics in loose web forum vernacular. That said the point has been made and dead horse beaten.

 

[Pablo]

German ref down!

 

[Pablo]

Wow CANADA AND USA! Mexico too.

USA Could have used better composure and just went raw skill in panty down craziness the last 20-30

Can someone start a "I hate the World Cup '26" thread ? Seems like many of you would enjoy that....

I was feeling for the Scots

I was feeling for the Scots

Because they drank Boston dry???????????????? https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_...rink-boston-dry-local-bars-run-beer-world-cup

So here it is, the FIFA World Cup thread. I searched FIFA and nothing came up.

Team USA won their second game, this one against Australia. Go Team USA!

Apparently, the Scots have taken over Boston and everyone is having a great time. Some really funny TikTok videos about Europeans being amazed by Walmart...lol.

A video from yesterday said the Scottish have drank Boston dry. Bars had to have extra beer delivered.

Scotland fans' World Cup takeover lands Boston a new sister city​

Mayor Michelle Wu is establishing a partnership with Glasgow, formalizing collaboration between the two cites.​

My change to soccer rules would be to make it like hockey where players can be substituted freely at any time.

So I just started watching FIFA for the first time, watching whatever game is available over the air from my antenna. What I find interestingis that when 2 guys get tangled up just a little bit one maybe both guys will fall down on the ground screaming, rolling around the ground & holding their face like they were just shot in the face with a gun. It's comical and sad at the same time. The only time I have seen this much drama is professional wrestling.

Are you sure you're not watching the NBA ?

At least in football when that happens, the refs frequently completely ignore them and play continues on (no foul called). I'd guess NBA games have almost double the # of fouls, but it's easy to foul since breathing on another player, brushing against them, or looking at an opponent mean gets called.
