Yeah, he was definitely the night's biggest disappointment for me.

He could not stay onside and he looked slow.

Our defense was carved up like a Turkey.

Good teams might do that to our first team. Fortunately we didn't play our first team.

Hopefully we’ll put a Herzegovina on Bosnia Wednesday night!! Had to top the weak shit turtle.

Nobody is talking about the Netherlands...really really strong team...very balanced...dark horse for me

As a dark horse I would say Japan. I'd like to see a final 4 of USA, Japan, Germany, England. That would be one for the ages.

Half a foot away from playing Iran in the round of 16 lol

These third round games have been totally unwatchable. They have to go back to a 32 team system.

Anyone that thinks that scoreless soccer means it must have been boring needs to watch Columbia v. Portugal.

Incredible game. Columbia is a dang good team.

They aren't ever going back. They are going to a 48 team system.

Yeah that was one of the better games of this tourney,… I need to see that offsides header tho…. I would place my hand on the bible and swear he was onside on the ONLY quick review the telecast gave us

It is not that they "must be boring" however 9 out of 10 of them are indeed at least slightly boring and there would be more that are mind-numbingly boring than would be exciting.
At a world cup 0-0 probably means both teams are happy with a draw or one teams has parked the bus.

What's the aggregate boringness to the median boring soccer game?

There, you had a typo...

I doubt they get past the winner of potential Germany - France 1/8 meeting. Seeding is crazy, only one teem out of France/Germany/Netherlands gets to 1/4. Brutal. They are well balanced, only that might not be enough to advance. Argentina has a walk through till Brazil in 1/2.

 

[DillonHall]

Every sport is boring if you don’t care who wins. I love college football but I’m not wasting my time watching Cal play NC State

Agree...seeding is crazy...Argentina has had such an easy path

probably the best 0-0 draw I've ever watched. I think a lot of people could probably say that as well. Great match.

This is the last World Cup that Fox has under contract for broadcast rights. 2030 is still up in the air.

Netflix has the Women's World Cup in both 2027 and 2031.

How much of the Polish thing with Chicago is still a real thing? Have they not finished assimilation yet?

There is no polish culture in Chicago, it's more Italian if anything

This is absolutely not true. One of my best friends married a sweet polish girl up in Chicago and there was a massive area and community full of polish people.

 

[Wild Bill]

Enormous Polish community in Chicago/surrounding suburbs.

I live in the northern Kane County suburbs and I hear more polish here than Spanish.

Polish Americans are about 6% of Chicago's population.

On a good day, normally more like .006%

Is it real polish or American polish?

Like my neck of the woods is basically all German/Norwegian/Swede but other than our last names and physical appearances, you probably wouldn't notice.

The languages are now gone other than maybe in a few nursing homes. To quote Michael Irvin, "the young women today arent learning how to cook. We're losing recipes!"
