Califashorn75 Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Paraguay ranked 40th by FIFA and Germany 10th! What a nail biter. Those penalty kicks are wild. 2 Quote

Califashorn75 Posted June 30 Posted June 30 (edited) The strategy in those penalty kicks is to anticipate by a mili-second where the goalie is going to defend the kick. The striker has a ton of pressure too. It's wild. Reminds me of a winning field goal. Edited June 30 by Califashorn75 Quote
CoachScott619 Posted June 30 Posted June 30 World Cup has been amazing would love to see more sports adopt something like this. Quote
chennups Posted June 30 Posted June 30 3 hours ago, CoachScott619 said: World Cup has been amazing would love to see more sports adopt something like this. You mean like the olympics? Or just one sport specific event--like Rugby and Cricket. Also, basketball has the FIBA championships every 4 years, and baseball has the World Baseball Classic. The problem with those as compared to soccer is that soccer is just so much more widespread. Not many countries play cricket or rugby (basically just former British colonies except the US) competitively. Even basketball and baseball are not really played at a high level in too many countries (maybe Japan or Korea and some caribbean/south american countries?) wheras the Spanish league, Italian league, Premier league are all considered better than the MLS. Even the Dutch and Turkish leagues have a history of producing competitive teams and there's all the teams in South America and now the African Continent. Anyway, my favorite part is seeing the visitors trying texas BBQ and Chik-fil-a and drinking all the beer in places like Boston. I live in Philly and all the Croatians and Ghanians were out this past weekend. Amazing. Quote
chennups Posted June 30 Posted June 30 sorry i meant baseball not being played @ high level world-wide. basketball definitely has some european leagues. Quote
TexasMDcoach Posted June 30 Posted June 30 I have never been a soccer fan. The sport was fairly obscure relative to other sports when I was growing up, but this World Cup and the success the US team is experiencing is going to be a huge boost to the sport here. Love the energy behind this tournament. 1 Quote

Califashorn75 Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Mexico beat Ecuador 2-0 and advance to the round of 16. They have not been scored upon in any match. Their defense is exceptional. 1 Quote
