r00kieI feel like there's very little excitement around the World Cup this time. I remember people getting really into it and everyone watching the usmnt team play in the group stages but I hardly realize that it's happening right now.
LonelySoccer is fun to play, and very unfun to watch now.
PacificRimJobI'd say it's fun to watch but it's unfun to follow if you only pay attention to EPL or champions league stuff...
If you watch lower levels, it's actually super entertaining. Players still have solid roles on the team. English League 1 or Championship.. Scottish Premiership.. the Turkish superleague.. stuff like that is absolutely super entertaining to watch, and the fans are SO much more into it than the money machines of the prem and CL.
I follow a couple lower level clubs like Bradford AFC, Wimbledon, St. Pauli, and Oviedo in the Spanish segunda... and whenever I see these matches it's just so much more interesting and has so much more soul than what you get in the top flight.
The pitches are sometimes a bit messy, or muddy, the pace of play is very different, and it just has a bit of a backyard feel to it that is wholly endearing.
r00kieUS making it out of group play by only scoring two goals the whole tournament. Nice.
PsychicMigrationOnly letting up 1 is 3 matches is quite impressive though
SteezyYeeterWHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER!!!!
PacificRimJobEasier to understand than a mile... which makes no sense.
Theres a reason why we used metric to land on the moon lol.
SteezyYeeteri'm not going to argue that it's easier, americans just want the extra challenge (life is too easy otherwise)
PacificRimJobThat's such a stupid rationalization that only an american can make it.

SteezyYeeterdebate the metric vs imperial system
PacificRimJobThere's literally no debate. Coca Cola measures it in Litres for a reason.

PeppermillRenoKnockout stages will be good the super teams aren't really that strong and there won't be much between the 16 that advance.
Hasn't been the best tournament so far but we are getting quantity of games not quality and its happening during the best sports time of the year.

ASSholebomber22They use both. It's literally only 1 or 2 systems of measure on the entire planet. People who make it their personality to complain over simple unit conversions should focus on the hundreds of languages on this planet instead instead.

BradFiAusNzCoCaI have to walk a kilometer is way easier for my brain to conceptualize than a mile. Just something I noticed.
PacificRimJobThere used to be hundreds. Now theres really only 1 good system, one holdout based on the anatomy of an inbred dude and that literally uses metric in order to standardize itself, and one system that's only used at sea and in aviation and is more based on the rotation of the planet - which is also standardized using metric.
Yeah, a meter is on average, about how far a step forward is when
walking, and you can easily imagine walking 1000 paces. You can kinda do
the same thing in Yards, but nobody uses yards for anything but
American football or Fabric.
ASSholebomber22To say it's standardized on metric is a misnomer. Both systems are standardized on natural constant phenomena. And even metric has it's quirks. There's like half a dozen systems of pressure measurements with metric bases. The base unit for mass is kilogram while everything else doesn't hold the kilo prefix because of some bs old grudge with king gram or whatever.
The long and short of it, there's only two. And unless you're clinically retarded or woflowz, it's not hard to use either.
Your time is better spent on trying to standardize language. What a mess that is.
AndrewGravesSVjust coming in to say lmao mexico
PacificRimJobI mean, they won today.
That group could have gone any direction... The matches were all pretty exciting.
AndrewGravesSVJapan topping the group of death is insane.
