******Official 2018 WC thread******

[dasherHampton]

I checked a couple of pages back and didn't see one so I figured I might as well make one. I like to chat about soccer.

Russia vs. Saudi Arabia today. Really hard to pick a team to root for but I'm watching anyway. I haven't missed an opener since I was old enough to be aware of the WC.

You may want to put "world cup" in the title instead of WC. It's 8 more characters. When I saw WC I thought West Coast and was like WTF is there an official West Coast thread for?

I also think you need more asterisks.

 

[dasherHampton]

Thanks for contributing soccer talk.

If the people who post here can't figure out that WC means World Cup in a World Cup year this thread wouldn't go anywhere anyway.

Fuck it, just let it die. Why did I even post this?

Wow, Ronaldo ties (penalty kick) with Spain 3-3 with 2:30 remaining. So 4 minute OT game ends in tie.

 

[sdifox]

Ronaldo is on fire

no, the USMNT played like shit just like the Dutch and Italian national teams, it didn't require any special conspiracy.

I don't think they can have a -dottir on their team

That's how lineage/naming works in Iceland.

Teorge, who is Pal's son, is actually named Teorge Palson.

Krups is Pal's father, so Pal's name is Pal Krupson

Pal Krupson is the father of Teorge Palson
