The Olympics is fun and all, but it’s a youth tournament on the Men’s side. Not many care.
We missed 1 WC on the men’s side since 1990

Ok you football fans, and LMM, we got Minnesota United tonight. This is a winnable game. Let’s get a 2 game win streak going!
They need to work on their finishing and one touch balls. Otherwise a good looking team all things considered. A little more team speed would be nice, but hey this isn't Machester City.
I can't wait for Euro 2020... ya i know. It's arguably the best tournament soccer has. It's regularly won by underdogs and it's always the best soccer on display.
Agreed. They missed a couple opportunities, but at the same time, to much time in the 2nd half spent in their side of the field.
People who are looking for instant gratification all the time may not appreciate soccer. One also needs a longer attention span to appreciate the sport. If you expect a milestone to be hit every 5 seconds soccer is not your sport.
I will keep saying that people need to actually go see a game in person and they will be pleasantly surprised. If you can't handle nonstop action that is over and under 2 hours then something is wrong with you.
I understand that goals are not scored every 30 seconds but there is a lot more going on and when a goal is scored it is a really big deal. People seem to forget that both teams are also actively trying to prevent the other team from scoring.
They'll flame out IMO. Expansion team and thus very little depth. Relying on veteran players currently. I'm not sold on Wolff as a tactician yet. Of course, I don't know many ex-forwards that are.
Besler, Lima, Fagundez, etc. are quality, not spectacular, veterans to rely on in season 1. I'm excited to see Seb Berhalter and Johan Romana develop. That is a couple of very solid u23 prospects AFC have. Brady Scott is another one in goal. I hope they give him some minutes this year, or at least some cup fixtures.
With all the stats now kept in the sport, Fantasy Euro is a legitimate thing! I'm pumped too. I agree, the quality match to match is greater than the World Cup.
Denmark 92, Greece 04 are the only underdogs I can think of. I guess you consider Portugal an underdog? I wouldn't disagree except they have one of the best 5 players of all time on their side.
They certainly are not Germany, France, Spain though, that is for sure.
Football season doesn't start until the first week of September.
As much of a fan as I am, I just can't call it football. The Brits coined the term anyway, lol.
No, I got it. lol.
Was just saying that calling soccer "football" is too confusing for me. I'm American. Football is played with an egg. Soccer is played with a round object.
You still missed it. I was referring to the real "football" season that starts in September.
Lol, I knew what you meant I just did a terrible job of connecting my point.
It is very easy for me to call soccer football because that is actually what it is. It was invented as such. I still call the American game football but the original is definitely football.
"Soccer" comes out of "Association Football" for those that don't know.

Looking for a 3 game winning streak.

He did the team a favor, because now he sits in lieu of a better player...Seb Berhalter.
On a related note I didn't like the black back of the home shirt at first but it actually looks ok with the name and number on it. Anyway, here's hoping the team can bounce back after a crappy second half against KC.
Ended up losing 2-0, but played a better 2nd half.
Guys looking tired, but to be expected playing first 8 games on the road. New stadium opens in June, and looks awesome by the way.

Well, I guess I hope y’all’s soccer team does alright. I give a coupl sh!ts less about soccer than NBA. Thunder included. But I really hope y’all have a good FB team and we still beat ya’ll. Big 12 gotta have more high draft picks or we are all just fighting to be the skinny kid at fat camp. Just sayin
ESPN is buying up every single tv rights to every single league anyone gives a shit about...and then putting it on their pay for view app.
But then they black shit out.
I pay for the ESPN plus app so I can watch soccer games that are not on the main broadcast networks. I also pay for the Peacock app for the same reason. It absolutely blew my mind that the game was not on anything anywhere. This isn't 1995 where the only place you can watch soccer in the United States is on the Spanish language channel.
I watch Champions League on TUDN. It is more pleasing to the ear than the boring English commentators.
Lost tonight to Nashville 1-0, but had a goal taken away.
We deserved to lose with f ups, but that hurt.
