Does anybody keep up with this or is it mostly for people in other countries that don't have real football teams

    I think this is the most watched sporting event in the world, we as a country are hosting some of this but we have never been a futbol country. I've got old friends from DR Congo rattling my cage because they have a team to root for

    Not currently paying for any cable or streaming tv package but I did find the first game for free on tubi. Not a big soccer fan but I'll watch the US team as long as they're playing.

    DR Congo fans are just rabid after pulling a draw against Portugal

    nothing about drunk soccer fans choking the roadways in the informal postal creed:"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" Wiki: the phrase derives from a passage in George Herbert Palmer's translation of Herodotus's Histories, referring to the courier service of the ancient Persian Empire:

    λέγουσι γὰρ ὡς ὁσέων ἂν ἡμερέων ᾖ ἡ πᾶσα ὁδός, τοσοῦτοι ἵπποι τε καὶ ἄνδρες διεστᾶσι κατὰ ἡμερησίην ὁδὸν ἑκάστην ἵππος τε καὶ ἀνὴρ τεταγμένος: τοὺς οὔτε νιφετός, οὐκ ὄμβρος, οὐ καῦμα, οὐ νὺξ ἔργει μὴ οὐ κατανύσαι τὸν προκείμενον αὐτῷ δρόμον τὴν ταχίστην.

    Translation:
    It is said that as many days as there are in the whole journey, so many are the men and horses that stand along the road, each horse and man at the interval of a day’s journey; and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness from accomplishing their appointed course with all speed.[5]

    Damn, didn't we have a federal holiday this week. I know federal bs shouldn't have such an effect on business

    The only soccer I watch is my grandson’s team who went undefeated this season and is playing in the midwest regionals atm.

    I don’t know how you watch the sport if you don’t have any skin in the game lol.

    There are a few players who smoke them while playing (and working out) I am sure.

    Read this quote online... seems apt.

    DR Congo are jazzed, they are drinking beer the last week of the month. Usually they drink beer on the first, payday, then they can't even eat the last week of the month, maybe they saved up, I don't know but they are drinking beer
    If you drink beer in the congo and they offer you a glass, just decline, drink from the bottle, rumor has it they dip the special glass for the mizungo, white boy, in the toilet
