So I don't follow soccer much, are we a favorite over Wales?

 

[NewlyRetired]

Anyone else's feed keep breaking up? YouTube TV and the pregame keeps getting pixelated for a few seconds every minute.

Fine for me on DTV so far.

 

[encaitar]

So I don't follow soccer much, are we a favorite over Wales?

Yes. Slightly.

USA is ranked 16 in this tourney. Wales is ranked 19.

 

[NewlyRetired]

So I don't follow soccer much, are we a favorite over Wales?

Very very slightly. If it helps at all, the US is the 16th ranked team in world and Wales is 19th.

 

[ChiefD]

Yeah. USA is #16 in the world. Wales #19.

 

[gianmarco]

Wales is 19th. USA is 16th.

Just passing along in case you didn't see the rankings in that order.

I had to replace my workout shoes, so I just went to ****'s and impulse bought the less awful of the new jerseys. Let's see if I only mildly regret this purchase or if I really regret this purchase in a few hours.

CP-"Good mems here."

We're dead. :deadbannana:

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Per the oddsmakers...

USA 40%-29% Wales (31% draw)

[NEXTA] Budweiser will give the winning country all the beer prepared for the QatarWorldCup2022 worth of €75 million. It is also expected that the company will sue FIFA for breach of contract​

The Unity Kit

Of, by, and for the people. This is the USMNT kit that we wanted, that we deserved -- that we made. E PLURIBUS UNUM: Out of many, one. Since 1776, we've declared that we are stronger together. That's why we are working together to donate to bringing the beautiful game to underserved...

does anybody know what the world rankings are

Ten months ago he was the reserve goaltender for the newly promoted Go Ahead Eagles. He is 28 years old and has only played 51 official professional games in his career. Now Andries Noppert is Oranje's goalkeeper at a World Cup and just recorded a shut out.

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Now rooting against the USA

 

[TripleThreat]

ok USA chants.... goose bumps

 

[AAABatteries]

Now rooting against the USA

What means this?

 

[gianmarco]

Not going to lie... That Welsh anthem was intense.

Will be sad to see them go down.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Find you something to love as much as the bug-eyed, red-faced, teary-eyed, anthem-belting woman loves Wales.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Trying really hard to work up an appropriate hatred of Michael Sheen here.

 

[ChiefD]

Just once I'd like to see our team belting out the National Anthem.

 

[ChiefD]

Ok. Here's to shuffling papers around on my desk for the next two hours so people think I'm doing work.

Of course there is only three of us in here and they really don't care.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Dylan Thomas was overrated!

I should have quoted the Budweiser story the first time.

 

[PIK95]

Fine start imo.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Give that rarebit eating oaf a card!

 

[General Malaise]

I try to eat an orange every day for breakfast and usually just peel it and eat it over a garbage can like an ape.

Not today. Today I sliced them up like a good soccer mom would for halftime of a youth soccer game. Let's GO!!!!!

 

[AAABatteries]

I approve of the George Washington costume.

Pulisic set pieces cause me physical pain.

 

[gianmarco]

Pulisic set pieces cause me physical pain.

Just not good :(

Nerves. He's been much better with the ones he's taken at Chelsea lately. I think he'll settle into them.

One of the reasons I think Gio needed to start - but no negativity from me.

 

[gianmarco]

Dest looking feisty out there.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Man, 8 minutes - they really are keeping accurate time. I love it.

what were these announcers (bbc feed for me) talking about 24 minutes of added time in the Eng. game? ?? WTHeck

Yep - 14 in the 1H and 10 in the 2H. Injury to Iran keeper in 1H but the 10 minutes in the 2H was a tad surprising. They don't seem to be messing around and honestly, it's about time.

Wow, that's wild. If this is a positive that comes out of this WC, I'll take it. I can just imagine the grown in the EPL games when the board comes up with 11 minutes on it.

Imagine in the Central American Stadiums

[QuizGuy66]

Very disappointed Holland does not have the classic Pong numbers on their jerseys :(

[QuizGuy66]

Qatari referee - surely that will go well for the country that investigated their World Cup bid....

Good pressure early!

 

[TripleThreat]

ooooooooooooooo close

 

[Capella]

My buddy, a soccer fan, texted me 3 minutes into the game “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” - I figured my feed was a minute or so behind and got all excited.


He just had a funny work story to tell.

 

[encaitar]

Wow. Love that long ball by Dest. Great sequence there.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Weah never letting it hit the pitch.

 

[lardonastick]

so close to an og there.

 

[AAABatteries]

Can one of the mods make my posts show up in both threads for the next 2 hours? TIA.

 

[AAABatteries]

Dest - why?

 

[[icon]]

Come on with the cards guys

 

[AAABatteries]

We need to calm the f down a little here.

 

[TripleThreat]

soft cards

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I want to make a Welsh Neymar joke, but can’t really argue against the card on Wes.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

This guy screaming like his leg was broken twice now. Ugh.
