Homestar Runner posted:To be fair that France team sucked rear end, and Brazil are very very good This is all true however Brazil could either be complacent since they're expected to demolish Croatia or because of the consequences if they dont, (media and fan expectations etc) nerves may get the better of them. Croatia on the other hand can just go in and play a relaxed, solid game with no pressure or expectation. Even though Brazil 'should' win I really think anything could happen here.

Brazil are one of those teams that on any given night could go something like 5-1 or be made to look silly by a dark horse

normal football and american football show off each country's mindset perfectly. normal football is about teamwork, respect and individual flair where as american football is about one smart old white guy telling a bunch of fat roided up goons exactly what to do and they blindly follow

At the end of the day its a game of two halves and a funny old game at that. Hopefully we should see some end to end stuff, because you have to be in it to win it and if you dont get the ball to the other end and in the back of the net you won't finish on top.

Real talk for a moment: Americans have been widely playing soccer for over a generation now. Given the size and resources of the country, it's shameful we don't dominate this sport, and if I am elected Leader, I vow to insist on American soccer global dominance. None would challenge our "footy".

I want us to dominate so that we can be like "polls show that 80% of Americans don't even care that they won the world cup". And then the other 20% fires guns into the air which kills people on the way down

I like the World Cup, op. It has a lot of people excited for it worldwide. Re: American Football Why the gently caress would you want to watch someone else play a turn-based strategy game. That's like the most boring game streams ever.
