Booing commercial breaks is like booing America

Soccer is not supposed to have breaks except halftime, but obviously they are coming. And we will get by but things will not be the same.


Why do you hate America?

Weird and misplaced.


If you follow the conversation it is pretty clear it was a joke

Obviously still lots to play but fun to look at how the bracket would fill out after game one.

This is a pretty funny post.
We all knew that Fox News was a liar in order to boost the Republican Party.
We all knew that Fox News made a habit of bashing San Francisco, California, and all other so-called "coastal elites".

But now they've gone full on hickmerica, promoting the glory of truck stops andโ€ฆ wait for itโ€ฆ Waffle House???

Maybe a statue of a fat man sitting in a chair can become the 8th wonder of the world by 1930. This is what the world longs for. Only Middle America can provide.

Wayyyy too early but I just had AI create the bracket if knockout rounds started right now. This would be a super favorable path for the US. Wishful thinking

Which such a large starting bracket, they should use a combination of group finishes and power rankings to populate the brackets, it would be ridiculous to have almost all of the favorites in one bracket half.

The post or tweet had nothing to do with the Republican Party.

But if it makes you feel better, there are videos of foreigners eating Inn and Out and Chipotle in California and other blue states.

An unusual number of good teams had bad first games. It should even out.

If we are in the other half, it would be ridiculously cool!

Canada romping in their game against Qatar, up 3-0, now playing 11v9. The first red card was not deserved on a dive by the Canadian attacker, the second however on a very harsh tackle that broke Ismael Kone's tibia and fibula bones clean, ouch.

Pick an answer:

A) Canada has the maple leaf. We have the marijuana leaf.




B) Trump could pass, and then it would be champagne celebrations, no matter whether we Win Or Lose!




C) if you have not flipped your lid over the scoring output - by stars (save the embarrassing Ronaldo) - then I guess it's never gonna happen for you. I posted you a tactical video, too, by former men's national Hercules Gomez. Your absence from this page is noted.

Quote:
the 2026 World Cup has seen significantly more goals per game, with an average of about 3.1 goals per match during the opening round. This is a massive jump from recent tournaments (like the 2.69 goals per game in 2022) and marks the highest-scoring start to a World Cup since 1958.

Historical Comparison: This exceeds the 2014 Brazil tournament's 3.06 average and drastically outpaces modern tournaments where averages generally hovered closer to the 2.5 mark.

Just remember, you'll be in the stadium where an earthquake was sensed by monitoring equipment when Cal's Beastmode score that amazing touchdown. "Get Off Me!"



12 noon is definitely a shame. For multiple reasons.

Oh wow
I missed the Kone injury. That sucks big time. I was just goi g to ask which team would lose an important player to injury as the tournament moves on.

I think Canada otherwise had their Best Day of soccer EVER!!!

"What a Bonanza!"

Biggest win by a CONCACAF team in WC history. Canada run up the score, I thought they could have laid off up 4-0 at which point goal differential no longer mattered for them, but they kept coming instead through extra time.

The injury was weird, in that the tackle was not particularly aggressive. A doctor thinks that there was an underlying condition that might have weakened the player's bones.

This was interesting to watch live because I had no inclination that he broke anything just from watching the tackle. It seemed fairly normal and inane. Then the feed showed his face and his dangling lower leg.
