Streaming and radio are also options.
Agree it’s a bad place, but there are worse.
Hadn’t seen your thread, nice to see you are such a fan.I had to do a double take when I saw another World Cup thread. LOL. Given the several WC threads I have, you can say I’m super excited (just not as enthusiastic about the location due to obvious reasons). Our match against you will be the most watched USA match in history. I expect a shocking 2-1 win by the USA (yes, call me crazy England fans). Your media (nothing against you) really seems to think the USA is going 3 and out. We’ll see. I’ve waited 8 years to see my team play in the WC and upsets happen every group stage. As for how the Disboards feel about the WC, check out my thread to view the poll. Good luck to the three lions. The Stars and Stripes are coming over to win.
Many are fans. Some are closet fans to be honest in the workplace where baseball and American football are what’s talked about (hockey and basketball to an extent too). England will be fine. USA just needs to beat Wales to be fair. We’ll tie England most likely and narrowly beat Iran. England and USA will get 7 points and England will top the group based on goal difference.
The UK is 4 countries as someone has said. Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales, so like everywhere else, each country has its own football team.
NYCFC (CFG owned) is getting a new stadium. That will help interest in the sport greatly.
They didn’t want to dominate the sport and give the rest of the world a chance to win the WC? Lol.The UK is 4 countries as someone has said. Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales, so like everywhere else, each country has its own football team.
United Kingdom basically is these separate countries, united under one Kingdom.
Gets more complicated in that there is also ‘Great Britain’ which is the Island comprising England, Wales and Scotland, excluding Northern Ireland. This as formed in the 1707 Acts of Union when England (which also encompassed Wales at the time) joined with Scotland to form Great Britain in Union.
Yet more complication- for example in the Olympics we compete as ‘Team GB‘ so not as separate countries, and in this context ‘Team GB’ is ‘Team GB and Northern Ireland’. Not sure why they just don’t call it the United Kingdom team
That Peru Australia game was crazy. He’s rooting for the USA then?
I have no idea who he's rooting for but I don't think it's typically USA lol - I think he's gone for Argentina and Mexico in the past, I would think he'd root for Peru but I don't think they make it too far or at least hasn't in the past.
Australia knocked out Peru in June so that’s why I asked.
Yes I met the CFG CEO and he gave us a talk for our management, was very interesting indeed.
Ah, make sense.Australia knocked out Peru in June so that’s why I asked.
