| SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4247 | I’ve watched a lot so far. Fun to bet on. I have 4 match parlay cooking with first 3 wins needing Belgium to beat Canada. US was cruising until, how can I say this politely, US IDIOT just barrels into wales star Bale in the penalty area resulting in obvious penalty kick. Bale wasn’t even facing the goal when he got creamed. I just don’t understand how you can be a professional soccer player and not be able to control yourself when needed |

| terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 74 Posts: 11971 | Loving all the extra time tacked on I always hated it when teams wasted time Really enjoying nonstop 45 to 55 min action with no commercials Watching just about all the games since I'm retired Getting up around 6am every day Loving the energetic crowds. I've never watched so much soccer in my life It is a beautiful game Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Sadly, I don't understand soccer. I occasionally try but since I didn't grow up with it I really don't know how it works. I need to watch some shows or series on soccer. I want to know why they are playing certain defenses at different times and how they draw up offensive plays. Basically, I need a beginner course on how to coach soccer so that I can start to understand it. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I think you need to see it live. I think it does not work for TV as too much offscreen happens. The President is a fink. |

I believe that. I don't think American football can be truly understood unless you see all the players too. If you are just showing me the QB, running back and receivers you will never understand how Cover-2 defense works and the responsibility of the safeties on different routes. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

True, but they sometimes have time between plays to show you a replay of what happened in the secondary. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Yes, but sadly they rarely do. I would rather watch the overhead skycam for all plays so I can see what all 22 players are doing on each play. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

This is a big advantage of actually going to the game! |
