    And I just saw some of the Argentina players antics after the final whistle. Sore losers. I’m glad they lost.

    Argentina pushed forward late after they were a man down and had no choice. They were playing for penalties before that. The fact is they were a man down most of the game because Messi doesn’t run. They should have subbed Messi out when Fernandez got sent off. But we know that was never going to...

    Wayne Rooney will probably get arrested tonight for drink while driving with a picture of Shakira on his phone.

    Yeah I do think Shakira is kind of the face of international music or one of them. Madonna is the only part I didn’t care for. She looks like a robot now. Nothing wrong with bieber but he was playing an acoustic ballad at a World Cup. WTH is that. I will say I don’t know that the international...

    The best defense is being on the front foot and playing with the ball. Then you don’t have to defend. No one can hold the ball like Spain does. And Spain dominated this game. The final was won in Arlington when they beat France. Offense wins championships. Defending in soccer is losing...

    And the pitch is playing slow, ball bouncing a lot. When you throw in the heat it slows down the game. Should have held it in LA.

    Tuchel is unstable. I won’t go as far to say that he sucks. He’s had success as a manager. But he is an egomaniac. He was literally saying after the last match he needed more from his team. Well they needed more from him in this game. And after the game he was mum pretending not to know what...

    I think the final was won today. I guess my hope is England beating Argentina and Spain beating England.

    I heard that it was a purchase that he made at a western store called wild bill’s in Dallas. Apparently they sold out of a lot of their merch in the following days.

    that would severely alter world cup qualifying. at least italy would make it next time...although I don't care that they aren't here parking their buses.

    yeah, we've been hearing that for several years now and it is happening in multiple sports. I'm not sure how that changes to be honest. We seem to be going more in the other direction. So, my question is more along the lines of how we make soccer more accessible to potential athletes that are...

    Good post. The more I read and talk about it, the deeper it gets. I don’t think there is an answer to the problem. There are probably many solutions to multiple problems that can improve our national team. But one of the most important things is to keep our expectations real. We should be good...

    that’s a scenario I think everyone wants. I don’t have a problem with the national team moving on from him if he doesn’t deserve to be there. I agree that we have to stop handing out selections. That’s part of the culture problem that we’ve always had and it’s the reason we missed 2018. My...

    absolutely, and my concern is how does US Soccer market and reach more kids to expand their reach? How do they market to those kids who can't afford to play on a team, but will play on their own or with their friends? Like basketball, I feel like kids will play basketball and football regardless...

    same, I'd be surprised if he wasn't on the 2030 team, assuming he's healthy. If he's not, that means we got some younger more talented people developed and that's a good thing. Christian might need to consider moving to MLS to prolong his career. European clubs put their players through the...

    RIP Viking Row, until the next time. I'm rooting for England as well now that Norway is out.

    yes that's what I was saying. I agree with the call regardless of how it favored argentina who I don't root for. When a player is on a yellow card, he has to be better than that. I applaud FIFA for punishing a dive like that. maybe it will resonate, I doubt it.

    yeah I said hand of god goal. if you say that to any football fan in the world, they will most likely know what it is having seen it thousands of times on replay. the irony that today any call that is 50/50, people come up with conspiracies LOL. yet in 86 you can score with a hand and it doesn't...

    I don’t think the red card penalty is too severe especially when it’s two yellows in one game. I think that is up to the player to play a clean game after they get a yellow card. Most players manage this well and would prefer to be warned so that they can remain. Sometimes a straight red is too...

    Yes and that is a big part of the rivalry. There’s a good ESPN documentary about two Argentina players who played for Tottenham hotspur in North London. It is a great story that talks about the divide between the two countries. there’s a lot of World Cup history. The hand of god goal, that would...

    Yeah seems like a moot point anyway. All of these games are so close and it seems like a lot of people are whining because they are on the losing end. I think there was a clear goalkeeping gaffe that cost Norway the game. And Bellingham wanted that goal more than the Norway defenders wanted to...
