Re: FIFA World Cup 2018
Big time fan here. I have been a long-time (since 1981!) Spurs (English Premier League) supporter at the club level but always support Germany at World Cup. The 1982 semi-finals (Germany vs. France) was what converted me to Germany as a 12 year old boy watching the World Cup. An all-time classic game. They went on to lose to Italy 3-1 in the finals, which was also another world cup classic.
So glad that coverage of European soccer leagues and the World Cup has been on the ascendancy in the US in the last ten years. I can now watch my EPL games from mid-August thru May consistentlyCyril

Caught the last 15 min of the game today, saw 2 highlight reel goals (out of 5!). Nice start by the home team.
Between the games and Motogp practice tomorrow I probably wont get much done.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2018
Yes, I love watching soccer. Mainly follow the Spurs in the Premier League. My two international teams are out of it this year (The Netherlands & USA). I'll still be watching as many matches as I can supporting the Spurs players.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2018
Started watching soccer when we hosted the Cup in 1994. Since then, I follow our national team somewhat closely, and watch the occasional EPL and Bundesliga match, especially if an American is playing. Feels strange to not have our team in the Cup finals this year, but we really didn’t deserve a spot. I do feel bad for Pulisic, though.
Since we’re not involved this time around, my rooting interests are as follows:
1) All the CONCACAF teams (yes, even Mexico).
2) All the African teams.
3) Brazil.
4) Any team playing Germany or Uruguay.Anthony

Was an excellent match for the neutral. Hopefully the rest of the tournament is as good. That free kick by Ronaldo was amazing.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2018
Impressive performance from Mexico today. Germany might as well have mailed in the first half, and in general did not look like the German team one would expect in the World Cup, but IMO that doesn't take anything away from Mexico, who looked much more patient and confident than most Mexico teams of the past 20 years.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2018
Yellow cards are not supposed to reflect the frequency of fouls, but (like red cards) the type of foul. I only saw about half the Brazil/Suisse game but didn’t see much I would call yellow card fouls. JMO of course.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2018
I’ve watched a few matches. Today’s match up between Croatia and Argentina was quite an embarrassment for the southern American country. All credit goes to Croatia. Argentina has a lot of individual talent but they did not play like a team.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2018
That new IT digital system with camera rewinds forces referees to do calls that they normally wouldn't. That exact system undermines the referees. You have never ever seen so many penalties in a worldcup and this is only the group stage.. Why even have referees when this new system interupts the game several times per match.
