    Watched basically every game so far this World Cup, now I basically couldn't care less as to what happens. Apparently this is the World Cup of mediocrity because it seems like EVERYONE is playing like garbage with absolutely no new, 'break through' players like there was an abundance of just 4 years ago.

    The most lethargic German team I have ever seen was kicked out; and thank God, because they were painful as fuck to watch. I thought before the game today that if they could just get eliminated, I wouldn't have to suffer through this shit anymore. Wish granted.

    Germany has been to every World Cup, sans one due to WW2, and has NEVER been eliminated. Hell, the last group game they lost was in the early 80's. This go around they managed to only score 2 goals over 3 games, lose 2 of 3 games and managed to come in dead last in their group and officially became the worst German team of all time by a gigantic margin yet managed to win the Confederations Cup just last year.

    They were lifeless. It was like they were told to look busy for 90 minutes and not really do anything. It was a field full of highly paid, world class talent that spent the entire game looking around at each other waiting for the other one to do something. Everything from the setup of the team, who they left behind for no reason, the initial lineups that didn't even look right on paper let alone during the games, lethargic lack of will to fucking do anything and just overall feeling of low energy malaise and they deserve everything that comes to them after this.

    EL OH EL

    Y'all can say what you will, but my father (who NEVER EVER watches sports) has actually gotten into it, and is enjoying watching it. Brazil's up 1-0 @ the moment against Serbia, but I'm hoping the Serbs can turn it around.
     
    Never could understand how any game can legally end in a tie in championship play, and somehow still be worth a fuck. Maybe because it isn't.

    Football, in all shapes and forms of balls, is gay. If given the choice in a 3am bout of insomnia, I'd honestly rather watch a FlexSeal infomercial.
     
    Soccer is the lowest-barrier-of-entry sport that exists that can propel kids out of poverty and into 1%er status. It is one of the best forms of true free market capitalism out there. It may not be hard hitting like football but hey, no kids with massive CTE injuries. And this is coming from a massive football fan.

    Big soccer fan here. Have been watching world cup games since the early 80's with my dad. Who being from Spain, of course is a soccer fanatic.

    Naturally we'll be rooting for Spain to win it all again. Can't believe Germany is out. I thought they'd at least stick around to embarrass England.

    Oh, btw, the rest of the world laughs at the fat asses we call athletes here in the cry-baby NFL. Those fucks would be dead after running two or three football field lengths non-stop. The dumbasses need a 10 minute break between every play just to get their breaths back.
     
    Germany really screwed the pooch ... Low's approaches to each game was confusing, and leaving Leroy Sane out for Brandt was dumb as hell. Mario Gomez? Never thought I'd see Neuer make that bad a mistake, though. Oh well. I'm pulling for the three lions now.

    It was confusing from the start.

    Let's leave Sane out even though he is basically the only guy with lightning speed down the wing. Oh, and speaking of wings, lets play 80% of our offense through the wings to set up a target man in the middle only for us to not bring a target man with us because we left Wagner at home even though he has scored once every 90 minutes this season. Instead, bring Timo Werner who literally is the LAST person on the planet you'd pick to pull balls out of the air in front of goal.

    Mario Gomez? I can't even. Why not just fucking reactivate Franz Beckenbauer at this point; at least he was actually good.

    But wait, let's not play any defensive midfielders as well as commit both wing backs fully forward the entire game so that should the opposing team ever manage to bring the ball past mid field, you have effectively stranded your defense which now only consists of 2 fucking people.

    It was like someone dared the coaching staff to come up with the dumbest shit they could. Regardless, the entire team was lethargic. Zero motivation. Zero fire. Zero leadership. They basically just showed up for work.

    I'm not mad because they lost. I've seen teams go 120% and lose, or get a bad run of luck. It happens. I've seen games where it should be 10-0 and somehow you ended up losing 0-1 instead. It happens.

    They totally deserved to lose, and they didn't even care past being embarrassed.

    Happened to our UVA basketball team this year. Won the ACC conference title by leaps and bounds then pissed it away in the first round of the NCAA tourney. Fuck, that was embarrassing.

    Foosball , it's the devil.
    I never really managed to find the interest in soccer either, the only game I found both more boring and riddled with mystique was cricket.
    I watched the world cup or finals or whatever they call it of cricket matches for about a week in Cape Town South Africa and never did figure out WTF was going on.
    I'm sure the wine and beer didn't help either it just made it more bearable, when all the locals would start cheering so would I.
     
    If the way soccer players drop to the ground in agony when they barely get touched, they would probably be the easiest athletes to get into a fight with. Funny thing is, that as soon as they realize the referee won't acknowledge their alleged agony, they hop right up and continue play.
