| Let’s start a World Cup thread. Who is your pick? What games are you looking forward to watching? ....or anything else you want to talk about. |
| It’s a shame US is sitting at home for this one. |
| I’m interested in seeing how Iceland and Nigeria fare against Argentina and Croatia |
| None, really, but I'm sure I'll watch my fair share. Looking forward to the Italy v US game! Oh, wait ... |
| It’s all about the midfield. |
| I just looked at the FIFA schedule and I am wondering if an 8.00am match is our time or Russia time? |

Good read about the USMNT debacle

That's Eastern time. Unlike the Olympics, US television audiences do not control event timings in soccer--the big market is Europe. So they schedule it to fit prime viewing hours over there. |
No, the games are scheduled however they fit in the home country. Its the World Cup, production companies bid on it years ago and people are going to watch regardless of time. |
| les Bleus!!!! |
| Argentina!!!!!!!! But I don't think they have what it takes imo Germany will win |
| Germany! |
| I really want to see Messi get the Cup. |
| It’s on! Too bad Maryland hasn’t not set up sports betting. |
| Russia has a new record. Before today, no sub has ever scored in a World Cup opener. Two different ones have today. The Russia coach looks like a genius! |
