Neymar may have scored for Brazil in their 2-0 victory over Mexico but it was his theatrics that got everyone talking during the last-16 World Cup clash.

“soccer will never be a major sport in the US”

They do seem to be drama queens. Also, I speak for my self but I probably speak for a lot of people when I say I just can’t feature a sport that allows your team to advance from a tie game......I just can’t get passed that.

They are building a new kickball stadium here in St’ Paul Mn.
I would go to watch the fighting and riots afterwards but not the game.

Neymar is obnoxious to the point I can’t stand watching matches that he’s in. He reminds me of Odell Beckham.

change the stupid rules. Get rid of off sides. Enlarge the goal at least 6 feet. No ties. Have it like hockey and have the sudden death free kicks, 5 on each side.

Hard to make money as a TV station when there are no breaks.

Women's rugby vs "mens" soccer...

She broke her nose on that play... and stayed in the game, and made a great tackle just a few moments later.

Ronaldo is the ultimate drama queen. Soccer is unwatchable to me now because of these antics.

Nobby Stiles, Bobby Charlton, George Best, Denis Law, Francs Lee, Alan Ball, Steve Highway...when men were men on the pitch.
