Actually, a soccer fan!

Obviously d would say the vastly superior Chinese woman's team would easily win the world cup.

Scotland did not qualify but ended with two draws and four wins best run in years then we sack the manager.
Moyes to take over? Big dam getting a mention as well.

Both Irish teams in play offs but due to seeding can't see them getting through might have to play Italy.

Draw on Tuesday I will be watching re runs of Hamish Macbeth next summer 🙂

Difficult job , and it hardly looks the strongest field. Big Sam would get them playing to a system to make the most of what you have.

In fairness, think Strachan went after 2 failures to qualify for the finals. May be a tough call with where Scotland are now.

Think Italy are clearly v dangerous, but the other teams in the play offs all seem fairly equal.

V difficult to guarantee qualification from European pool. Maybe Scotland should take the Aussie route and pretend to be Asian!

Even pretending to be Asian wouldn't help the US.

But then again, it is Soccer we are talking about. So in the US who cares? In the US mostly illegal aliens.

Will most of the USA citizens be supporting Mexico?

Who cares what a pianist had to say about football? Do you also quote Pete Sampras on jazz?

You mean by hiring illegals or support those who do, for the illegals to send money back to Mexico?

Yes

If you mean want the Mexican soccer team to win?

Most people in the US won't care. For most people soccer is as important as chess.

I doubt that Mexico will win. They'll be too busy paying for and building that wall of Mr Trumps.

Does anyone even work up a sweat in NFL. 10 minutes of actual play stretched out over about 4 hours. It rates only second to darts for non-physicality but darts at least has a lot of skill to it and is pretty exciting. Americans seem to enjoy sports where very little happens over an overextended period.

Look to baseball if you want to see a lazy mans sport.

Golf and bowling rank up there too. Football is a sport of short periods of all out physical exertion. It is more like sprinting.

They are so lazy they can't even stand up for the national anthem.

concussions are a very serious issue
it is a brutal game providing an ocean of sweat
I don't think you could take a hit by a linebacker and talk like that
you probably wouldn't be able to open your flap for a long time

Depends on the linebacker.
