There was nothing on that I wanted to watch so I thought - what the hell, I’ll watch.
Yup, just as I expected. Boring as fuck and it confirmed I hate soccer.
Soccer is an acquired taste for sure.
I don't blame people for not liking it. It took me years of watching my daughter before I started to understand the game well enough to appreciate the nuance of the movement and the incredible skill these guys play with.
It's weird to watch a game for the small moments of genius rather than the scoring. I get it.
I tried, I really did. Hell, I even watched the season of Welcome to Wrexham.
Maybe I’ll give it another shot when they play Iran. But if Cornhole is on, I’m watching that instead.
Be yourself, Tampa. Don't try too hard. As a lifelong soccer fan I say football is better than
soccer as a sport to watch, soccer is still very good though. From watching soccer to watching football it's an upgraded experience. I think if you don't have a soccer team to root for, the only way to become a fan of both soccer and football is learn to watch and enjoy soccer first and watch football later, i.e. saving the best for the last. That's my journey. It's hard to go the other way around since it would be a downgraded experience.
Rationally I know football game is better to watch, but emotional attachment to soccer is already there. It can't be disappeared. That's the reason I can enjoy both soccer and football.
I’m sure if I had a kid playing the sport, it would be different. No way did I ever see myself
Loving softball like I do. Also, growing up in South Philly, soccer wasn’t played. Everything else was. I will say the atmosphere at the soccer matches seem like they are awesome. I know Tampa has the Rowdies so I may have to check one of their games out.
USA has scored one goal in two games. How can that possibly attract new fans?

New fans will understand the sport. Those who don’t will just die off.

Both the popularity and participation in soccer has actually been declining.
Not because of games like this though.
The size of the goal needs to be increased to 10' x 30'
The original size was fine when goalkeepers were 5'10". Now they're 6'6" with incredible wingspans and athletic ability.
They played good.
Kill Iran!
US played a very solid game. Great result for them.
If they play like that against Iran, then they are through. If they play like they did against Wales, they will be packing their bags.
They played "well". Never modify a verb with an adjective.
Hair will grow on your palms if you do.
Not to worry. He’s just a teacher.

At one point, the crowd was chanting "Somebody score. Anybody score".
