I recently bought tickets for the Iran - Egypt game for $295 each. We’ll be midfield upper deck, 7th row. 

Hope you see a Mo Salah goal or two.

Canada and Qatar get into a fight (like an MLB fight) at the end of the match

The first time I heard Stu Holden I thought it was Mary Carillo on the broadcast and now I can’t unhear it.

Pulisic out today. Sooooo soft.

I like the pregame ritual walking out with the kids and athletes singing the national anthems.

Oddity of soccer:  USA scores first, leads 1-0, but shots on goal are USA 0, Australia 1.

Own goal by Oz player the reason.

USA has already clinched their spot in bracket play. Backup squad was basically playing tonight, plus Pulisic, so the loss to Turkey isn’t a big deal. Looks like we play Bosnia in first round of bracket play, who is a sneaky good team in my opinion.

Whoever left D back was had right Turk forward uncovered for many chances. But they had no ability to use it like a team with talent could. Hope that was a backup guy…..

if not, this team is toast vs talent.

Pulisic is the most overhyped/overrated "star" athlete in this country in a long, long time.

Nine (out of 11) new starters last night. 

Give up 3 goals to a team that hadn't scored in their first two matches.

Whatever equity this team had built in its first two matches, from a casual fan perspective, was cashed out last night. 

Regardless of the standing/bracket situation, that's a match they needed to win.

Bosnia eliminated Italy from WC so they are legit

I struggle with a sport for humans that doesn’t allow use of one of the greatest creations, namely the human hand.

Did you watch any matches? There was a LOT of hand use- grabbing jerseys, hooking arms, pushing (all "illegal") but never or rarely called....

Why have a rule that is randomly enforced? (Looking at you NBA...and all other sports these days)

I suck at bowling. Bundesliga is fun to watch, but the game should be called flopping. The amount of players that take a dive, and then lay on the ground while the other team attacks.

This would be my biggest complaint about the sport.  The other stuff people complain about I often time wonder if they have seen some of the sports we watch in the US.  

Nice thing about the World Cup is basically every country plays Soccer, so it is truly a world cup.  In all the other sports there are like a handful of teams that play at a high level.

The atmosphere in Seattle is insane.

The crowd’s reaction after the PK save was deafening.

Why don’t they just issue yellow cards for embellishment?

Yellow cards can be given for simulation but it doesn’t often happen.
