I know nothing about soccer but for fun I participated in the bracket challenge and picked:
Brazil over Netherlands in one semi... and Belgium over France in another semi... Brazil over Belgium in the Final.
Let's see how well those hold up from someone ignorant about this sport.
Injury to an Iranian I believeI missed the first 20 or so minutes of the England/Iran game and am currently watching with the tv on mute. Can somebody tell me what happened that caused 14 minutes of time to be added on to the first half?
Sadios injury hurts. He's been so dominant with Sénégal that they were a legit darkhorse to go deep. Love that manMe too, Leon.
A friend who is a huge soccer fan (for me it’s still secondary to hockey but for him it’s always #1) feels Messi might finally get one. I’m thinking so too. Not my favourite soccer nation by any stretch of the imagination but there are worse results (France or Brazil again, for example).
Cheering for Senegal as a dark horse as I have a soft spot for Mane as a Bayern fan. Edit: oops, forgot he was out. They’re doomed lol
It's disgusting, so much of it.I really enjoyed the run through qualifiers but all the human rights violations and corruption around the tournament in Qatar have really been on my mind leading up to Canada's first game.
It's such a shame that this is the stage on which Canada breaks through to the World Cup.
I was the same way until my oldest started playing it and fell in love with the game. Watching the players, the skill level and work required to do what they do and then the conditioning as well. It is a great sport once you get to understand what it takes to be a top player. Now both of our kids are into it and I am either watching practices or games 6 days a week during seasons. I wouldn't trade it for the world.Just can't bring myself to liking soccer, probably cause I have zero attachment to it unlike hockey. The one thing I do like is that the clock is always running.
