FIFA WC 2018 & 2022 Hosts

[trece verde]

Would anybody take it seriously even if he did? No offense to Vic either, but we (Canada) just aren't that important to FIFA - despite the WWC, we don't represent the $$$ of a big enough market to hurt them in the wallet by withdrawing.

That was the Panama goal in 88th minute that eventually eliminated the Americans. Not that they deserved a different fate regardless but how that is called a goal is beyond me

That was the goal to tie it up

The winning goal was a blast by Torres who plays for the Sounders

He'll be out of a job now! lol haha

Just like that Korean dude(played for Perugia I think) who knocked out Italy in 2002 with a goal. He got the axe from Perugia. haha

I thought I was watching a non-PK call. I had no idea that was a goal. USA are gonna shite themselves when they see that goal. haha

So US soccer fans are not very impressed.

That was classic! I am so happy the US is out....the only thing that makes me happier is seeing the Leafs season end....

LOL.

Three weeks back, Jay and his son Oaks were at the playground in the village, which I think my 3 YO daughter believes is her house, and everyone else is just visiting. Jay was playing soccer w/ Oaks, Leila ran over, whacked him over the head, and took his ball. We both LOLed. "He's going to have to get used to girls one way or another".

Nice way to make acquaintance with your new neighbors.
