My teams are USA, Portugal and Netherlands. And a tiny bit of Germany. Since I am a sad mixed up globetrotter.

That's all good. Can't stand Ronaldo though.

I'm pure-blooded dutch 2nd gen in the US, so I have allegiances to the motherland. My great grandfather worked for the crown as the superintendent of the royal game preserve.
But I have to admit that I have difficulty watching a sport that regularly after 90+ minutes of play has a 0-0 score. I'm probably too accustomed to watching other US high scoring sport activities like Basketball or american football.
Trying desperately to avoid all the wokeness just under the surface of these games.

You'd love cricket if you like high scores.

Personally, It bores me rigid though.

ahahahahaa me either....


wife loves him of course.

Euro cup is BS as we all know.

Its all about Champions.

Sorry Mericans! I am the weirdo who hates basketball and the NFL. I like soccer (international football), cycling, and Formula 1 (and Indy Car, basically, open wheel racing).

Because there are not three replays per play, or 30 point games, everyone thinks these sports are boring (don’t talk to an Merican about hockey! Let alone offsides!!). But that is lack of understanding of the fine points of my sports.

*steps off soapbox*

I love to watch the opening rounds of the WC! I love watching the African and Asian teams. The tough matches and the overall love of the game around the world!

Did you see the Japanese fans cleaning the stadium after their team won BEFORE they celebrated the victory??!!??!!

I wonder if the Viking fans would clean Lambeau Field after beating Green Bay??!!

Voovoozellas aside, the World Cup is a truly global experience!

Sorry. But still peeved at Portugal for the BS call for Ronaldo allowing them to score against the USA last WC!! Seems that the refs are biased against Merica around the world…

US, now Japan, and love the Orangemen of Belgium (for some unknown reason!).

Way to go Canada and congrats to Saudi Arabia and Japan for the wins!!

I want (and wish for) an exciting World Cup!!

(screw the host country! Beer is not evil. Stupid, drunken decisions are, but what is worse: a beer limit in the stadium or a beer tent outside?)

The footballer in me would love to see an Argentina v Portugal final. Can you imagine the hype if that did occur?
Its both Messi's and Ronaldo's last WC so both i assume are desperate to win it. They might actually meet in the QF i think, so they cant actually meet in the final. Shame.

So far most teams desperate not to lose more than go for the win. Opening game very important for any team so too much defensive tactics so far. Wait until the knockout rounds for some proper football. Hopefully.

Its too early to say who looks good, playing inferior teams.

Looking forward to watching Brazil tonight.

A very serious question here:- every World Cup, as far as I remember, has had a World Cup mascot. Is there one in Qatar and if thee is what is it?

Ronaldo should have been booked for diving.
