World Cup 2018

Re: World Cup 2018

I love me some world cup. Wish I could get this pumped for football that isn't world cup. I still say the best 30 for 30 ESPN did was the two Escobars and the 94 WC

Re: World Cup 2018

Excitement was a little low with the US knocked out, but as it draws nearer I'm definitely getting pumped! Now I just need to decide on a team to root for.

What's the protocol on wearing national team jerseys of a country that we're not from? The white Germany kits are sooo nice.

No OS World Cup fantasy this time?

Being from the US I might actually enjoy this one more with the team watching. I like France a a minor dark horse but with that team they must be rated in the Top 4 favorites.

I've never been to a galaxy far far away but I own plenty of Star Wars shirts.

Re: World Cup 2018

Half my family is English and I'm still not really pulling for them.

Goodness, I just realized there is a timeline where Liverpool win the Champions League and then England win the World Cup and I never speak to my Mom's family ever again.

There's a joke about my dysfunctional family in here somewhere, but I'm quite obviously pulling for Denmark to win everything so ever, so lets go lads!

I come from Italian and Dutch families, and I’m American. Super dope World Cup for my genetics.

My wife's dad is Italian, I don't think he's even planning on watching the World Cup at all.

His family is all from Naples as well, so it's been a pretty rough year.

Re: World Cup 2018

I don't think Brazil will win, but until the Semi's I think it's a good prediction. Unsure about Croatia, I think there will be another joker in there. Time will tell.

Re: World Cup 2018

Semi-finals are gonna be Brazil vs France and Argentina vs Germany.

I was putting Spain vs Germany in the second semi-final until yesterday, but I think they might have ruined their World Cup by firing Lopetegui in a moment like this.

And of course, Brazil champions beating Germany 8-1.

Re: World Cup 2018

I know very little about soccer, and outside of the MLS, don't really watch any other kind(minus big matchups at the World Cup/Olympics).


What are some "must see" games this year?


Portugal-Spain on Friday, Germany-Mexico on Sunday are 2 big ones I know of, I guess Brazil-Switzerland also on Sunday as well(based on their world rankings) but outside of that, don't know any other good matchups to watch.

Not always the most entertaining games, but the most important for some.
