also if i see anyone say kit instead of uniform in this thread there will be hell to pay

 

I like it. I think we should similarly forbid the use of the word "pitch". It's a soccer field.

Yes. That is incredibly douchey.

what other words can we use for our favorite football club

It's not a game, it's a fixture. We're not fans, we're supporters. He's not a head coach, he's a manager or "gaffer." It's not a truck, it's a lift. It's not a vagina, it's a butt.

What kind of shot do we have of getting out of the first round this time?

 

Silver has us at about 39% or so; I think that the chances are much higher than that. I'd be more surprised if we didn't.

If we beat Ghana and Portugal-Germany ends in a draw, I really like our chances.

 

I don't. If they draw, that's one point Portugal gets that we probably won't get. That means we'll probably have to beat Portugal to advance. I'd rather have Germany beat them 5-0.

 

Yeah, that's how I see it too.

No there's a pretty big difference there, mate.

I actually watch the World Cup, but that is it. Our office went to a Sporting KC match and the whole time I kept thinking, "It's like hockey but really slow and boring. Man, I wish I was at a hockey game."

 

There was only one scoring chance in the 75 minutes of soccer that we watched. It wasn't even a difficult save for the goalie. From the time we left our seats and got to our car (about 5-10 minutes) both teams had scored. Game ended in a draw. I've never been interested in attending another match. Although, I would like to go to one in Europe or South America. That would be interesting.

I've been to two SKC games now (both this season). I've had similar thoughts at both. There is a lot of downtime during the game, for sure. But the atmosphere is pretty great.

Maybe it was not so great the time we went, but if I want to see people stand behind the goals and act like morons I'd rather go to a NCAA basketball game.

I know one of those guys. I don't know how they have voices after those games. In fairness, one of the games I went to was against Cruz Azul, and the large number of opposing fans and the nationalistic factor ramped up the crowd quite a bit. The second one, a dreadful draw against Toronto, wasn't nearly as fun.
