quote:America has been swept up in a sudden interest in soccer. We generally prefer our sports to be violent and eventful, but there’s a magic in soccer that’s captivating: the most favorite sons of a nation, competing for said nation’s honor. It’s as if each country sent their own “Avengers” team to protect their sovereignty on a world stage. My own jingoism brought me to television screens and surreptitious, compulsive ALT-TABs to the ESPN Gamecasts as our team fought for glory. In was during one of these contests that I realized rooting for the USMNT was a familiar feeling; it was precisely the same as listening to Nas. In that moment, I realized we were hosed.

"My own jingoism brought me to television screens and surreptitious, compulsive ALT-TABs to the ESPN Gamecasts as our team fought for glory." That's my favorite part.

Also, the "score" in any sort of stats would be 0-0, I think. Certainly in terms of betting, it was.

lmao there was literally a guy in the Canadian Politics thread in D&D getting mad at our national broadcaster for not cutting off part of the World Cup final to put on a loving rodeo, and when pressed he said that guys who wrestle cows for money are the finest athletes in the world quote:Why don't you try it, then, if it's so easy? Have you ever actually seen a rodeo, apart from maybe CFR, NFR or Stampede? It's a lot loving harder than kicking a soccer ball around, and you'll see it if you actually see a rodeo that hasn't already selected the best athletes in the world.
