It's 1-1 and France hasn't scored yet.

Don't hold your breath for responses, Moxley. A lot of our U.S. friends don't even know that the World Cup is bigger than the Olympics. They also call one of their their domestic* competitions the "Wo

That's not a penalty. Terrible decision for the game.

Don't see how he could not have called it. It wasn't that hard to get his hand out of the way.

The first goal, Griezmann looked like he took a dive.

Not just looked like, he was falling before contact was ever made.

A bit of an anticlimactic match. First half and up to 60 minutes was intense, then the 3-1 put a damper on Croatia. France were very efficient, but in my opinion got help from the ref for at least one goal, maybe two.

It was an exciting game to watch.   I thought the best team in the tournament won but then again, I thought Belgium was the second best team...;-).     It was great to see so much exciting soccer.   

In two years the women play in France and in four years the men play....Qatar...(where the average.....average July temperature is 95º in July.   On the pitch the temperatures will be around 120º or higher.   I guess money can buy almost anything.   Nobody in their right mind would have allowed the world cup to play there in July..

Qatar will be played in November - December, usually 30 degrees Celsius.

Apparently...you can't go wrong putting your little all on whatever team N'golo Kante is suiting up for.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Good final to wrap up a good tournament, the best World cup in quite some time I think.

England getting 4th is a solid result for a young team , given we haven't done well in this for a long time. Let's hope we can further in the next Euros.

Curious - those who watched the US broadcast - what did you think of the announcing? What about the post game show - World Cup Tonight? 

World Cup Tonight - I couldn't understand Hiddink some of the time. The female analyst who was a former player was good, I learned the most from her. Tony Meola was ok. The book writer Grant W something kind of reminded me of the guy (Rosaforte) in golf who gets all the rumor mill stuff.

Don't know enough about football to really comment on the match announcing.

For the final, the had on the set a prior Russian coach.   He really wasn't interested in being there and it showed when he announced "when does the game start" and almost got up to leave.   His english was very broken and difficult to understand.   The mexican announcers were very good.   I like Rob Stone and Alexi Lalas.   Both are very knowledgeable and entertaining.   Some of the pregame and post game stuff was good, some not so good.   

Overall better than Peter Kostis

I feel the same way about them that I do about the announcers of the golf tournaments that people can get so riled up about ... and that is, whatever.  I didn't love them, I didn't hate them, I'm not watching for them either way, and nothing they do or don't do is going to have that big of an effect on my enjoyment of whatever activity/sport it is that I'm watching.  (That said, I think Arlo White doing the Premier League on NBC is great)

Another exception to my "rule" is listening to Nick Shulman or Antonio Esfandiari commentate on poker.  I stopped watching poker a long time ago after the novelty wore off but have started watching again lately because listening to those two guys (or really, any well spoken professional player for that matter) explain to me what is likely going through the minds of the players as the hands are going fascinates me greatly.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
