Poland and USA !!

I don't watch many soccer league matches. I'm all in for the World Cup every four years. The 5AM early matches will be tough to get up for, but the USA plays at the more convenient time of 2PM.

It looks like a pretty tough group for the USA. Hopefully they can advance.

Good to see Canada in it for only the second time ever. I'm also rooting for my grandfather's home country of Poland.

The World Cup calls for the addition of a soccer smilie.

Yeah , me too ! Three of my four Grandparents were from Poland ( one Grandfather was Lithuanian ) but I'm mainly Polish !!

GO POLAND !

But than living out here in LA , so many of my friends and neighbors are from Mexico or are of Mexican heritage , so that is tough too ! Wish Poland wasn't playing Mexico !!

So besides Poland and USA also Mexico, I guess ? But that would knock Poland out right??

US and Wales tie 1-1, with US giving up a late penalty kick

Mexico-Poland tomorrow, 11am my time, 8am your time. Assuming Aregentina wins that group, only one of the two could advance to the knockout round.

I missed one of the biggest upsets in World Cup History. Argentina hadn't lost in 36 matches since 2019. It probably wasn't quite as stunning as the USA beating the Soviet Union in hockey in 1980 but still a shocker to see the score.

I did get to watch 2 0-0 draws and France blowing out Australia.

MrCleveland · 11-22-2022, 09:58 PM

I do want USA to be in The World Cup.

I think USA will be the first team that isn't from Europe or South America to be in The World Cup.

opus · 11-23-2022, 05:30 PM

Canada loses 1-0 to Belgium, still haven't scored in their World Cup history (which now consists of 4 games total)

TJ · 11-24-2022, 12:00 AM

Canada looked good. They missed a penalty kick and had some good scoring chances in the first half. I think they will score in their next two games. Croatia and Morocco look beatable.

They will co-host the 2026 World Cup with the USA and Mexico. They just don't play hockey up there.

opus · 11-25-2022, 02:02 AM

U.S.-England tomorrow (Friday afternoon). Be nice to at least get a point out of this one.

Canada needs some power plays.

USA wins 0-0. Win against Iran and they advance. They should also be in with a tie as long as Wales doesn't go crazy against England.

They could have used Dave and Paul.

Don’t think so. Everything I’ve seen has them eliminated with a draw or loss. Need the win.
