It seems like I'm hearing more about the teams making some sort of social justice statement(jerseys, national anthems) than any results.
That's all.

It's soccer, what do you expect, they carry on like a bunch of drama queens, if you don't have American football around the world this is what you get. 90 minutes of regulation and often nobody scores and when they do they act like it's the greatest thing that ever happened. I used to watch World Cup with my sons when they were young and watched mostly so I could "do something with them", not so much anymore. I say if you can't score more than one or two points, just make the goal bigger and the game more interesting! Any typical women's rugby team would be the snot out of most of these fellows.

My brother played soccer at a high level, one of his teammates went on to play in Europe in the Premier League, and in the Fifa WC and MLS here in the states. Even with all that exposure to it as a youth (me and him) - neither of us can get into the WC/game at all.

Yes to all of the above.

Took me a while to “get it”, but actually doing something beats the Hell outta watching other people do something……
except womens’ Jello wrestling. I can watch that.
Meanwhile, I’m being entertained by all the Islamia, LGBTQXYZ23Skidoo, and to Beer or Not to Beer over the tounament. Seems like pretty much everyone is unhappy. Gotta love that anyway.
What fresh Hell is this?

LOL Isn't that the America's Cup? The old 12 meter boats weren't fast but the strategy they used to block the other boat's wind was interesting. The new boats with the foils are much faster and look kind of wild.

700LH, At least the U.S. Soccer Team stood up and put their hand over their hearts and sang our National Anthem, they didn't kneel like the NFL-MLB- NBA. Rio7
