OT: The 2026 World Cup Thread

[Guts]

Who do I call to get those two hours of my life back?

Daddy Trompas apparently lol

Not for one second did I think the U.S. was winning the World Cup, but I sure thought they could have made it to the round of 8.

Well that was a fun distraction to get us through some of the dog days, but all I really care about is 54 days to (college) kickoff, 65 days to Pats kickoff.

It could be worse, you could have got up at 2am and not been able to drink a beer cause it’s the middle of night and then watch the homies get thrashed…..like me.

Team USA had some good moments in tournament. Not so much in this game. 3d goal in particular was pretty cheap/ piss poor.

Say goodnight Gracie, I’m out

Yeah, I was on the verge of buying the hype against my better judgment. A difficult sport for me to get excited about, I'm sure the passion draws primarily from being born into it.

I did enjoy England's gutsy effort at altitude in a hostile environment vs. Mexico last night. I'll probably tune in again here and there, we'll see.

Well that was a dud. US has a maddening habit of giving sketchy goals early in big games. And the second goal simply cannot happen. That cross has to be covered. That was the game right there. I won’t blame Freese for the loss, but to me looked shaky all tournament. Judgement on coming off his line looked hesitant and uncertain and at times simply bad. Being a keeper in MLS is not helping him. There was plenty of good in the tournament, too bad the final act was a disaster.

The country who made the expression “a scrap of paper” famous.

Excellent video collage. What's your connection to Norway? Also curious what it cost you to get in.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. No real connection to Norway. As a season ticket holder of the New England Revolution they gave us an opportunity to buy some tickets and the Norway-Iraq game happened to be the cheapest....though I was intrigued by this matchup given some big names on Norway. As a general soccer fan I felt I had to try to at least get to one World Cup game (and it was quite the experience). I enjoy the Revs but the atmosphere was on a complete other level. Ultimately I got a nosebleed ticket for $260 and never actually went to my seat.
