It's still a thing but the American Outlaws (USMNT's official supporters group) desperately needs new material.
I let it go. Since in the end it left me so empty and disappointed, I thought it better to do so. I prefer "I believe that we can show up and play to our talent level and possibly advance farther than we are used to before getting beat by a good team!" It hasn't caught on.
Copa has some good talent but what's on display at UEFA is ridiculous.
Oh, I 100% agree. I love the game of soccer and I'll admit I'm absolutely an England snob when it comes to watching it....i.e. I choose to to watch EPL 100% of the time over MLS. That being said, I HATE when Americans talk about the game using the terms of the Brits or other countries.
You are an addict lol. Betting soccer is fuggin tough even for me. What spread did you have on it? -1.5?
Lol, you laugh but seriously....soccer is a hard sport to bet. Especially IN England because they offer all types of ridiculous prop bets like one where you can bet the score at halftime and then the score at full time and you have to get both right. Or you bet who (as in, which player) will score first in the game....which is a crap shoot.
Don't talk down to me like I don't understand gambling lines

I would've jumped all over that -190 moneyline on Germany though.
Yeah like I've said, soccer is uniquely difficult to bet. If possible I always want the moneyline with soccer. I do not feel comfortable with spreads, especially because if it's a competitive match between two fairly even teams, the spread will be like England -0.5, so you're just having to hope England wins....in a game that is likely to draw, which is a loss for you. So to me, moneyline is always better.That beginner lesson was for the lurkers out there who don't understand but want to learn how to hit it big in the world of sports gambling
Ya I was pretty happy with that line. The thing that's tough with soccer is you need to factor in that the draw is separate bet, and doesn't get you a push if they tie.
A piece of free advice, tournament group stage games are much less likely to end in a draw (especially a 0-0 draw) than is your run-of-the-mill regular season club match. Except in cases of extreme underdogs (like a Jamaica vs. Mexico for example), both teams will be "going for it" so to speak, and not looking for a draw. Now, could it end in a draw? Definitely, but a 0-0 isn't as likely as a 1-1 or something. That being said, it obviously ain't fool proof because on the second day of Copa America, Brazil-Ecuador and Costa Rica-Paraguay both ended 0-0. That being said though, in the other 18 matches besides those two, none ended in a 0-0 draw.
It would be silly for Juergen to blame Pulisic or Nagbe. He waited way too late to put them on (like 74th minute IIRC). I think the 'problem' is Juergen really likes the starting XI he's been rolling with, which is why it's been the same lineup verbatim for all three games.
Yeah but still, we have 350 million people lol. We need 23 great ones.
Netherlands didn't make the Euros this year and they are a soccer powerhouse (population 17,000,000). England didn't make it in 2008 (population 60,000,000)
Your mom sure seemed to like it when I modeled my soccer shorts for her.
the fact that you are "modeling" soccer shorts is disturbing by itself.
Her and I get into some weird role play stuff. She was dressed as a ref.
They're in a political union because, except for Scotland, they were all conquered by England long ago. Wales was conquered by England in like 1050 A.D.
England has PLENTY of talent to win a World Cup. They just have lol@state-esque choking tendencies.
