[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1820788, member: 590800"] That was a nut punch, given we seemed like we should be up 2-0 at one point. While I do not follow MLS or international club soccer that much (I'll watch and support BVB when I can but nothing like my passion for the Illini, for instance), the World Cup is likely my second favorite sporting event after March Madness. I pretty much watch the Super Bowl casually, I mostly just check in on the World Series if the Cubs aren't in the Playoffs that year, the College Football Playoff has gotten boring, etc. However, I live for these World Cup games - something we haven't gotten to see for the US in EIGHT YEARS! Even last World Cup, when I was forced to cheer for my second (ancestral) team Germany due to the Americans' absence, Germany laid a complete egg! Lol. Today was not the end of the world, but we now must avoid a loss to England to feel good. And that will be tough. Tie England and beat Iran, and we will likely advance. Three points today would have been huge. [/QUOTE]
