I am, what a huge win for the USA ! I am curious to see the Netherlands next game to see if they are that good or if Spain is that old. Hope to see Argentina make a run for the Championship ( if the USA don't haha)

Guess I'm like 99% of the U.S. when this comes around every 4 years but I only watch soccer during the World Cup. Have watched a couple other games though. There are some insane fans in the crowd at these games :lol:

Yep, there have been a few really good matches and definitely will be more. At least US has a chance to get out of pool, Sat match is obviously crucial.

Have been blessed to have a son that will go on to the collegiate soccer level in the fall. He always participated in the big 3 sports growing up but really focused on the game throughout high school years. I can attest, once you learn positions and strategy, it is an awesome game with immensely talented athletes.

I'm not a soccer fan but I do like the national pride and patriotism that comes with the WC. I'll be watching and rooting.

Recording all the matches and watching as able. Two of our daughters live and breathe soccer so it's about all that's on at our house until it's all done. Plenty of absolutely amazing athletes

It was a classic World Cup Soccer ( Football) match between the USA and Ghana -- it had drama --- shamans --- national geographic Ghana fans ---- lots of red, white and blue clad USA fans--- Captain America---- Elvis was there too ( all 4 of them).

Moments before Ghana scored the tying goal, the tv cameras zoomed in on this Ghana shaman

:shock: At that point, I thought we were screwed ---- he used some dark magic on us. After the goal, they zoomed in on him again, and by the creepy grin on his face , you just knew he did some freaky schit against us. Joined by the hoodoo voodoo priest of Ghana, things weren't looking god for the home team

:shock: :shock: But later in the match, Elvis, along with our own shaman ( the Shaman of Sharby Creek) , came through for us with some positive mojo to counter the dark magic of the Ghana shaman and the hoodoo voodoo priest --- some cross-mojonization

8) Helping us score the eventual winning goal

IMO, these were the keys to the match --- things that many novice soccer fans may have overlooked.

Been watching the ones I can. I have not been a soccer fan until my son started playing last year. Once you learn what is really happening on the pitch(soccer field) it is really a fun sport to watch. A lot more than people just running around a field kicking a ball.
