I haven’t seen a thread related to one of the worlds greatest spectacles of all time. Yes, I am talking about football.  If there is a thread please feel free to merge for me and I apologize to the soccer fans.

So, there are 2 questions:

Who is in the Finals and who takes home the world cup?

Who would you like to see win although they most likely won’t?

Argentina seems to be the favorite and I’m going to go with the crowd on that.

However I would like to see Croatia win it.

Another question, how embarrassing will the US Men’s be?

  1. Spain v Netherlands with Spain winning.
  2. One of the African teams like Ghana or Cameroon.

There is going to be a highly anticipated match USA vs IRAN 

it’s like the USA vs RUS in hockey but without the significant world standing in the sport.

I think it’s Brazil for this one. They’re always a powerhouse of course, despite their odd ass handing 0-7 against Germany. 
 

I’m with @boogielicious with an African team winning. Senegal probably has the best chance. But I’ve been to Cameroon several times and love it there. It would be nice to see them win.

I'll be watching most of the games.    I'll enjoy watching the US but believe they will have a challenge getting out of the Group B.  

Group A:  Netherlands and Senegal

Group B: England and USA

Group C; Argentina and Poland

Group D; Denmark and France

Group E; Germany and Spain

Group F; Belgium and Croatia

Group G; Brazil and Cameroon

Group H; Portugal and Uruguay

Opening Game

Qatar vs Ecuador 

0 - 2

I enjoyed the game.  Could have been a  0 - 3 game if not for an offside call using the semi automated system being deployed for the first time in the world cup.

Ecuador seems strong, but it might be because of how disoriented the Qatari side seemed to be during the match.

The level of play was still exciting and hoping to see more of this in the next few weeks.

Qatar only made the tournament because they are the host.   Their team was disoriented many times and their back line was pretty weak.   They did a scoring chance or two but were really never contenders in this match.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's matches!

I’m happy to see the WC start but the opening game was a sleeper imo. 2-0 In the first half against a disoriented team is a bore to watch for me.

Feels like forever since I last watched the USMNT. I'll typically only watch them in the World Cup as a casual fan, and missing qualification in 2018 has really gotten me out of the loop. That being said, I'm excited to finally watch them again today at 2pm against Wales! 

By the way, it's strange we drew England and Iran again. I feel like we always draw them. The Iran game should be a fun, bad blood kind of battle. I'm still stinging from 1998!

The World Cup reminds me that England fans might be more delusional than Raiders fans. At least the England fans I know.

Nice games today

US - Whales 1 - 1

really good game of 2 halfs

England - Iran 6 - 2

Just wasn’t fair

Senegal - Netherlands 0 - 2

Was a really good game and second goal scored in like last minute anyway

So England is atop of this group with 3 points, US and Whales at 1 and Iran with a 0

Well Zimmerman really screwed us good. Can’t make bone head mistakes like that in the WC. Bench him and move on.

Wales made a great 1/2 time adjustment and the USA never recovered.    GB was outcoached today.   

Good day to watch soccer.

So with an amazing KSA win over Argentina the king decreed tomorrow would be vacation for everyone in the kingdom.

Tunisia - Denmark 0 - 0

Poland and Mexico just started and should be a good game.

Ya agree.  Plus some outstanding play by the Saudi keeper he was under so much pressure last 30 minutes of the game.

Having said that with the Poland - Mexico 0 - 0 we are looking at a wide open group.

KSA 3 points

Poland & Mexico with 1 Point

Argentina with 0 points 

Up next France vs Australia and I think all odds are France wins this one, but we will see.

4 - 1 France - Australia 

With that France looks damn strong

Tunis - Denmark 0 - 0 earlier

France - 3

Tunis - 1

Denmark - 1 

Australia - 0

I don’t see how Australia makes it out of this group.  I had France and Denmark and I’m sticking to it.

Nice set of games today

    • Angular velocity and acceleration caused by torque.
    • He's going for that carelessly disheveled look but it comes off so manufactured and deliberate. Kind of like Boris Johnson. Tool.
    • Ok but seriously, are they allowed to use their phones for Tiktok or YouTube during the lulls? Rory's round took 5 hrs 51 mins
    • Hole 6, you need to hit a 240 ish slight draw. I decided to flight a hybrid. I made the perfect length backswing, I swung down better, and I kept my arms in front of my chest in the finish with a 3/4 finish.  The ball didn’t get to the tree tops, flighted push draw. I really felt that stretch of the club pulling me up into the finish.  2nd is the next shot, a 70 yard waist to waist distance 52 degree wedge that landed 3 yards short of pin high and one hop stop pin high. Nippy. 😁    
    • Shot a 42. Got to making 1/2 to 3/4 my normal swing. Much better tonight. Should have been a few strokes lower. I blades a pitch shot on hole 1. Didn’t get width. Tried to make a 3/4 swing on a par five, but hit it full swing because my 3/4 is a full swing. A 8 iron went 180 yards and hit the cart path over the green into the lateral hazard. 😳
