Spent the whole first half in a meeting about a student, would have had it on in my room. I would say about 2/3 of my 50 employees were watching today. Most of them not from the US. I could hear the results as I was walking by. Was very tempted to watch the second half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how they kept showing the Iranian Instagram models. Placed propaganda and fox played along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My school didn't have a team so I quit after 5th grade. That was dumb, I'm short and was sort of fast. Soccer was the only sport I was naturally good at and built for. After being a semi competitive runner for almost 20 years my knees and ankles hurt from getting out of bed like the rest of us. Netherlands are playing chess. We are playing soccer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 I had it on until The Netherlands scored the first goal. Checked the score periodically and when I saw it was 2-0 at half, I went outside and finished my Christmas lights. 2-0 in soccer is a 3 TD lead in football, a 25-point lead in basketball, and a 12-run lead in baseball. At that point, there's really not much reason to believe the outcome will be any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were born too late. Soccer is pretty big at Silver Creek now. The girls, especially, have strung together some really good seasons the last 4-5 years. They went to semi-state in '20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi worlds greatest ever, evidently no longer arguable, cemented his place at the top, going out on top with 2 goals, one in overtime. Then Mbappe, freaking stud. 23 years old, considered the current world's top player, is already 2nd in world cup career goals scored(with a championship last time). Scored 3 goals of his own. He will be 27, 31, and 35 the next 3 world cups. Barring injury, cocaine, or a Kardashian, he will wind up being the greatest of all time at his current trajectory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbappe though is just insane. Late in the game he almost took four dudes. I might have to start tuning in to him and Messi on the same pro team.

We do not watch soccer but about 4 years ago Ayden starting watching Messi with Barcelona and we went to University of Michigan just to watch them play.

Seeking6 Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 I love hearing how exciting it was for fans. I myself just can't watch soccer or hockey for that matter....but I say if it brings people enjoyment and an escape why not. Sounds like it was awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
