2026 World Cup starts today

[Coach]

I’m a Soccer guy and I’m looking forward to watching the games.

GO USA!!!

[Ted124]

I hope to see some live games. I'm old school, plus I'm German. I'm biased.
My top 3 favorite players are all in soccer heaven.

Beckenbauer
Pelé
Maradona

We'll see.

[Coach]

Mexico won 2-0 over S. Africa. It wasn’t a very exciting game.

S. Korea 2-1 over Czechia. This was an exciting game with a 1-0 comeback from Korea for a 2-1 win.

Not a soccer guy but I agree…

GO USA!

My grandson is a huge soccer guy. His folks are having an outdoor bar and entertainment center built on the patio. (California so the outdoor bar works great). He is super excited to have his friends over to watch the matches on the patio. Big TV behind the bar. When we were there some weeks ago it was nearly complete and they expected to be done for the World Cup. I’ll ask him to send me a pic.

Canada v Bosnia starts in 10 minutes

[Ted124]

I just watched the goals for Mexico yesterday. Nice goals!
The first was really bad on SA defense. Goal wide open! Any forward filed player would run right into it.
The second was a daring header. A bit of luck, there wasn't any other way. Unstoppable.

[Coach]

Game time!

[Coach]

[Ted124]

Not bad! That final goal was amazing!

[Hatchdog]

Congratulations to the USA men’s team. Well played fella’s.

[daytime dave]

I hope those of you who are soccer fans enjoy the games. Yes, GO USA.
I would expect those from other countries would support their teams as well.

Me, not a soccer fan at all.

[Coach]

Switzerland v Qatar 1-1

Brazil v Morocco 1-1

Scotland v Haiti 1-0. Scotland winner

[HenryFan]

My wife and I were glad to see the USA and Scotland win.

[Ted124]

11 Meter!
I haven't seen one in a long time. That foul was a close call for the referee. However, rules are very strict inside the Penalty Zone.
I think the German team could do better. Less tactical play, more offense.

That being said!

German team just woke up, now we're talking!

Yep. That's bad. For Curacao.

Oh Boy, that's brutal.

[Coach]

All ties yesterday.

I sure have enjoyed the fans in the country from other nations praise the people, places and food here in the USA. Nice they appreciate the US!.

Yes, exactly!
I just watched a video that combined a bunch of posts from visitors about how amazing America is. From the food, to the houses and neighborhoods, to the parks and recreation sites and facilities, they're all amazed at what we have here. Seems that what they were told doesn't match with what they find when they get here.

It seems that our press and some leaders want us to hate our country, for whatever reason.
These foreign visitors are shedding some light on what others think of us.
For those of us who have served in foreign countries, we already know what we have
and appreciate it.
At least I do.
