I’m fairly sure that Real Madrid could defeat any of the National teams at the World Cup.

I think a Second Division English team can beat national teams, because National Teams don't have a lot of cohesion, whereas clubs play much more together. The quality of play in the WC pales in comparison to an average English Premier League game.

If Mexico wins, so much the better. Let them party all night. They’ll be too hungover with tequila to trek across the border.

I cannot understand why they permit the refs to extend the game as they see fit.

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.

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.

They have video linesmen instituted for this tournament to check video replays for the referee if there’s any doubt about scoring or rules violations.

I haven’t 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.
