2026 Rokslide World Cup Thread

Pretty poor effort, Pulisic needs to retire from national team, MLS players have no business being selected going forward.

Just finished up the last game of my World Cup run. Spain vs Portugal. Have always rooted for Cristiano since his Man U days so even though they lost, I was able to witness his last World Cup game. 2nd time I saw him as I saw him at el clasico in 2018.

Now for the USA!!

Cristiano has had an amazing run!

I was hoping for more!

Been watching USA for 32 years...except '02 this is as far as we ever get. 32 years and we still loose in the 1st knockout round.

The two sports are so vastly different it's just a silly comparison to make. Most Soccer players can't block a 300lb. lineman. Conversely, most NFL players can't run 7-11 miles over the course of a 90 minute match.

This is the correct take. Very very different sports.

Have a look at Aussie rules football, pretty damn good combination of the speed of soccer and the toughness of NFL.

I'll tune into games whenever I catch it on TV. Absolutely awesome sport! Those guys are some serious athletes.

For sure, lots of people outside Australia don't even know the sport exists

Got a favourite team or just a fan of the sport in general?

Just a general fan of the game at the moment- I'm still trying to better understand rules and tactics. Yeah it's surprising so many folks just aren't aware of it. Honestly it's become a little difficult for me to watch the NFL since stumbling into Aussie rules football. With all the commercial breaks, timeouts and stoppages in play it's hard to get invested in NFL games these days. Do you have a favorite team?

It's the USA and soccer, nobody cares. We need to care a lot more.

Why? It’s soccer. Why do we need to care?

Now we know #10 ain't the guy time to move on.

He played so bad

Why should we care about the NFL? A bunch of wannabe thugs. Always in trouble with guns, girls, violence, etc. pathetic.

I’m not the smartest guy in the world, so help me understand your statement. Evidently you think I said we should care about the NFL, but I can’t find any post where I said that. Can you help me out?

Because fantasy football is awesome and really by percentage there are a small amount of players in trouble it’s just they make the top news story.
