Socialist government in Spain, but real Patriots are still out here repping hard.
Yea, we really kicked their ass by 1 point. Total domination!
Could have flipped a friggin coin and had same results.
So glad this crap is over…
You really don’t get football/soccer at all do you?
Poor guy.
“”””You really don’t get football/soccer at all do you?

I get it. The most boring 3 hours of kickball ever.
If I wanted to watch a bunch of guys spend 90 minutes running around in circles trying to score I’d take my friends to a bar.
You could always watch women’s basketball
But only 1 team prevailed in such easy game.
The World Cup hero scores the winner... then shows up to the Madrid parade in a “Make Spain Great Again” red hat, one day after meeting Trump.

Why do you think soccer is by far the most popular sport on the planet, played by vastly more people and watched by vastly more people than any other sport?
And generating vastly more money than any other sport?
Is there any team sports where one team doesn’t prevail?
And soccer’s not an easy game.
You ever played it to any level before?
And end up drunk/losing your wife/gf.

Sounds like he’s no fan of PM Dirty Sánchez.
It’s like pregnancy. Takes many intricate maneuvers to get the final result. Having one goal a game is a great accomplishment. That’s why they go cuhrazy when a goal is scored...GOOOOOOOOALLLLL. Get a goal the odds go up to win.
I have read that once a first goal is scored, the team that scores has a 70% chance of winning, no matter when the goal was scored....lots of fun for the players, being drunk in the stands, or watching it on television is a major diversion.
The only real suspense is how much extra time is given....and who knows how they actually decide....maybe extra time is given for the losing team to score a last second goal...who knows
because other countries cannot afford all the equipment needed to play other sports. Still a fun sport, but all one needs is a ball, and two players, one on each “team”...can be played in the backyard, or one the street,
Now ice hockey....you need sticks, skates, and facial, and body protection...a puck, and cold weather...
IMHO
Yeah?
What “equipment” does it take to play basketball for example?
You think Europeans/Chinese couldn’t afford it?
22 players 11 in each team, football, standard goal posts, referees etc etc.
“””You could always watch women’s basketball””””
Soocer and chick basketball is what you watch when nothing good is on tv and you are desperate.
