It was a great match.

Argentina dominated for about 70 minutes and France had the breakout 2-goals within 2 minutes.

Thrilling finish.

Not every sport is for every person. The rest of the planet enjoys soccer. Americans play it when very young and then most don’t follow it as they get older.

I enjoy all sports and follow soccer only when it is World Cup time. I wish our United States team were more competitive.

Good for all to run and stay active. Kids play too many videogames and are inside too much.

Soccer is also a sport where white kids can be competitive. Basketball is usually 90%+ black. All the defensive players these days on defense are black. Of the 22 starters on NFL teams, maybe 5 or so are white and usually offensive linemen, tight ends, and half the QBs in the league.

If you’re a kid watching pros to one day play the sport, soccer, tennis, and golf seem the best bets.

If you could be truly great in one sport? Golf. You can play it your entire life. You’re famous to those few that follow the sport, but not getting mobbed constantly as it is a niche game. That niche is a very wealthy demographic so great for advertising money. You aren’t risking brain injury or your life. You don’t age out at 35. No other sport checks all the boxes.

Strange people show up to bash a game they really don’t understand.

I can usually find something to appreciate in very sport.

Golf and tennis are the games for life.

I am a terrible golfer, but I still really enjoy playing and yes, even watching, especially the major tournaments.
