OT: The 2026 World Cup Thread

[Gumby]

That last goal was wild just complete control of the ball like 20 passes and off the out side of the foot

I don’t hang too much on bspn much and this just proves why. I spent 15 minutes on them looking for this video sequence based on your recc and just got kilnsy interviews , fan reactions other side stories and only short snips of only 2 of 4 goals, Reyna’s but only the shot no5 the passes.

Not sure how much energy I will invest looking further as soccer not really my thing until it gets serious (1/4 finals).

I did enjoy reading that the VAR overturned a yellow and reversed it toa FLOPPER!!!!! If the other refs have the guts to stay on that glide path for dive enforcement, soccer could become watchable.

Great performance from the Nats. Pressed their asses off all night. Went with a 3 man back line, which allows them to use their greatest strength, which is their athleticism. Got great performances all the way around. And finished their chances.

I still have concerns about Freese, he's not a world class goalie, and when they do allow chances using this formation they are usually good ones. But the only way they go anywhere in this tournament is by putting up goals, and they won't do that in a 4-4-2.

Reyna didn't earn his way onto this team, but you have to give him creditbforvdeliveringbwhrnbhe had his chance, that was a beautiful goal, and Balogun was a beast.

They could eliminate flopping simply by suspending floppers and not allowing teams to pay them when under suspension. No one is going to take a dive when it costs them $$$$. That was a classic dive, I would have loved to see a red card for it.

If they used the same scoring system football games would end up 4-3, 3-1 etc.... They spend most of the game standing around. There's more action in the first 15 minutes of a soccer game than an entire football game.

It's the nature of the action that is the difference for me.

To each his own.

USA currently ranked 15th up from 17th after yesterdays game.

Dont they have better uniforms than those pajama tops? # 3 is a playmaker who can really move the ball in tight quarters.

The NFL is definitely more exciting because of scoring.

The fact you get to use your hands adds to the equation.

I like football, but I love soccer. My high school and the towns around it didn't have enough kids to have football teams and soccer was the dominant fall sport.
