Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

I've really never been a soccer fan, but I am all in on the USA today.

Pulisic scores!

1-0.

Let's get a W.

We seem to be dominating possesion and shots. I'm only reading updates online

I am watching on my phone and I'm nervous for these last 15-20 minutes.

WOW what a game! USA advances to the knockout stage.

That really sucks for Mexico.

Speaking as someone who is not American, you seem to have your best team in a long time - I think that the Netherlands may struggle against your athletic and pressing style. A lot depends on Pulisic being fit, though.

Your team is also very young which bodes well for the next World Cup when they could be peaking.

I’m a huge soccer fan and the U.S. team is really talented and SO young. This tournament has been fun to watch and they have a decent shot to win on Saturday. We’re set up nicely for the 2026 World Cup which we’re hosting (with Mexico and Canada) when many of these players will be hitting their prime….

Big day of soccer on Saturday- CU-Duke with a trip to the College Cup on the line and US-Netherlands.

Not gonna lie. I havent watched a single CBB game this season yet. This is probably my second post here of this college ball season. Never before have I been this disconnected so late into the OOC season. Ocasionally I check Warren Nolan...

The reasom is that I've been so hooked on the world cup since Day 1.

I dont watch soccer on a normal basis. But I absolutely always watch the world cup. Been waking up at 5am for the first few sessions and watching soccer all day from home. No doubt the most exciting global sporting event


Big day tomorrow.

But SATURDAY is the day!!!. USA VS NED, ARG VS AUS! Must watch Television.

Go USA!!!

Excellent World Cup action today.
The Argentines got a little out of control with a player blasting the ball at the Dutch bench.

Both matches came down to PK's... super drama.
