We didnt listen to the criticism, said Javier Hernandez, one of the scorers against South Korea. It was just noise.

If Mexico wins, so much the better. Let them party all night. Theyll be too hungover with tequila to trek across the border.
Lol...wut?
“Nobody here cares about soccer.”
And you base your opinion on what......? Surely you have some empirical data and are not relying on, oh IDK, ignorance.
“””””Nobody here cares about soccer.””””””
True dat. The geniuses here in St’ Paul MN are building a big new kickball stadium. Should be good for some riots and fights, not much else.
Today on FOX:
Japan vs Senegal and Poland vs Columbia
They have video linesmen instituted for this tournament to check video replays for the referee if theres any doubt about scoring or rules violations.
I havent seen any scandals with officiating and officials come from neutral countries to minimize the possibility of bias or favoritism.
The MLS is both profitable and popular. They have 23 teams and are still expanding.
Football is here to stay in the US.as a professional sport and they play in new stadiums designed for the game.
Did you not see the play where a Serbian player was gang tackled in the penalty area in plain sight of the referee? If not, you need to find it on YouTube.
VAR is great, but the referee has to use it.
I already turned it off, disgusting performance.
Kurwa!
