He's a German traveling through the US to follow the World Cup. He's never been to the US, and his observations are funny and interesting. He was at Auburn last night.
There are a couple of other people from other countries doing the same thing. Kinda interesting to get their perceptions of this country.

You probably know this already, but without offside, soccer would be a totally different game. Offside rewards footwork, speed, skill, passing, positioning, tactics, field management, and discipline on attack and defense. Without offside, you could do away with the whole field, because it would just be "park 5 tall guys in front of the other goal and boot it into the chaos".
I don't mind the offsides, I don't fully understand what all is offsides and what is not, but I don't watch enough. However what OQ says makes a lot of sense.
Why do they need a water break in an air conditioned dome?
When I was in shape I used to run 45+ minutes, no stopping, no water. There are some of the finest athletes in the world.
These guys that play the full game probably run about 4 miles a match.
Is offsides always the trailing leg of the deepest defender?
I googled muthafucka and it is the aforementioned criterion plus the player who is offsides becoming an active player in the play, i. e. receiving a pass, engaging a defender, blocking the goalie's view, etc.

They are doing water breaks for all the games to make it fair for all teams, no matter where they're playing. It's more about the commercials and the tactical changes the coaches can make than the hydration. It wouldn't be fair for teams playing indoors not to have that, but teams playing outside to.

I would like to see them adjust the offsides rule so that the offensive player must be
completely past the defender rather than, say, his nose or his pinky being past the defender. That's chickenshit.

I don't know the finer details of the game. What I do know is if a really fast guy out runs another fast guy he should be entitled to receive a pass from anywhere on the field. This having to wait to outrun my guy until my team kicks the ball down the field is bullshit.

This having to wait to outrun my guy until my team kicks the ball down the field is bullshit.
Really fast guys already outrun other really fast guys, and receive passes from all over the field, all the time under the offside rule. The rule just requires them to time their runs, like a WR can't jog behind the defense before the snap in football. Without offside, fast guys beating other fast guys to a pass would happen far less and maybe never, because there would be no reason to ever have players, however fast, in the middle of the field.
The strategy without offside would be: park the GK plus 5 tall defenders and 5 tall attackers in each goal box, and wait for a hoof-ball from the other end of the field. Then, there'd be a header contest, a scrum for the ball, and either a goal, a corner, or yet another long boot to the other end of the field. It could be some kind of sport, but it wouldn't be soccer.
I hear you. I've spent zero time assessing the consequences of doing away with the offside penalty. I'm basing my comments on the handful of times when I have watched soccer and seen a great pass and score get nullified because the receiving/scoring player was 1 millimeter ahead of the closest defender.
Surely "they" can come up with rules to prevent the negative consequences you laid out.
I would also like to see the game shift from 99% passing at midfield, the defense kicking the ball out of play any time they are in an unfavorable position, and flopping.
Well, I think that's all the cans of worms I can open here. After reading my response, OQ's head is about to explode I'm sure. ;D

And a lot of lower level soccer already looks like this. Having coached more youth league than I could have ever imagined, my experience is that the hardest thing to teach is staying in position rather than chasing the ball everywhere.
I think the offside rule could be tweaked so that only the more obvious violations are called, but it is absolutely essential. I geek out on watching a defense set a high line and force an offside.

I didn't know David Byrne was coaching the Turkia soccer team.

We should impose upon every other nation that, in their own languages and even in their own homes, they must refer to us as "the United States". None of this "Estados Unidos", "Etats-Unis", or 美国 bullshit.
Holy shit
Just turned on the game as the ball was going into the net for Turkey Lite. Sorry.
We won't win another game
Second unit sucks
Stepping on our own dicks, have some pride fellas.
Why is it that the officials always look like the most fit guys on the field?
Turkeya who looked absolutely awful in their first 2 matches looks like a real team tonight. Are they playing out of their minds or are we maybe not as good as we want to believe (getting caught up in the moment? )

Colombia would've won the group with that goal.
That was close. Interesting they don't show many up close replays for those reviews and just rely on VAT.
Argentina got a feee call that shouldn't have that resulted in a goal.

So we're going to extra time and then penalty kicks and we'll miss the tying kick off the side post of a wide open goal?
Or have an own goal that breaks a tie at the 89' mark and the official doesn't allow stoppage time and ends it. They review it in Birmingham and call it fine at the time, but tomorrow will say "Well, it was a bad call, but oh well."
Yeah, we WILL manage to fuck it up somehow. We won't just lose this game or the next, we will FUCK IT in spectacular fashion. It won't be just a hard fought match that doesn't go our way, it will be Arkansas-ish.
Ask how I know? Everything is setting up too perfectly. Look how many of the good teams are bowing out early. It really is setting up for a glorious run for the US, so you just know we will fuck it.
The idea that a ref from Jordan can call a round of 32 game is absurd. All these third world refs seem like they love boofing western teams.
4 minutes to go in extra time and Belgium baller missed a wide open shot off the crossbar. He Arkansas'd the shit out of that kick.
Nevermind, it turned into a penalty kick that Belgium nailed.
I wonder how long it will take the ai models to pick up on Arkansas'd as a verb for shitting the bed?
Senegal with a good kick in extra extra time knocked down but a Belgian hand.
In my mind, any shot on goal that hits an upper extremity should be a goal.
They got fucked, that goal would have been good.
Looks like we have a Brazilian crew tonight calling our game. At least it's not some knucklehead from Guinea-Bissau or some such place.

Our goal keeper just kicked that ball like 100 yards with the roll. Wish we could get a punter like that.
Hey OQ, your boy is about to be a sophomore, right? Is he starting kicker and punter this year? Got any interest from the Razorbacks yet?
I don't think that injury was faked. He may have broke his ankle.
How the fuck could that be a red card? Not sure if it matter but that was 100% incidental.
A legit injury in soccer
And there is why referring matters. That was the fucking that we all knew was coming.
Does that mean we play with one man less than them for the rest of the game? In hockey terms, Bosnia is on the power play for the last 30 minutes of the game?

Simply awful call.
I don't know enough about soccer to know what warrants a red card and what does not. Is a red card for intent to cause harm?

Depends on how long the pussies rolled around on the ground in "pain".

I'm still lost over the red card for inadvertent contact like that. Stepping on the guys ankle was unfortunate, and could've earned a yellow for sure, but in no way was that intentional and I don't know how anyone who watches it can say otherwise.
Unless the red card can be given regardless of intent, it should get overturned on appeal.

I understand the rule. I understand why you and the majority of the soccer world thinks it a necessary rule. I think it's stupid rule in CERTAIN SITUATIINS and I think it could be tweaked to increase scoring opportunity while not also fundamentally ruining the sport as it's played now. I don't know why that would be a controversial topic of conversation.

Quote from: BleedinRed on Jul 01, 2026, 09:07 PMHow is Belgium?
Good, but mostly long in the tooth. Many of their stars are in the early to mid-30's. Tielmans, who got the PK yesterday is 29, and one of the better players. He plays for Aston Villa in the Premier League, and De Bruyna plays for Man City. Lukaku used to play for Everton (and others), and is now at AC Milan. Lukaku and De Bruyna are both around 35.
I think we have a very good shot against them. I really enjoy our style of play, which is a lot more vertical. I think we're light years better than we were in the last World Cup.
I'd love to see how many goals have been scored offsides. Seems like a ton.
We should start a brawl if it looks like things aren't going our way. As a Nation, might not be good at "Futbol", but we are really fucking good at violence.
Offsides takes away a Ronaldo goal.
I think the problem for the casual fan is that goals are SO RARE, for everyone to get all excited about a once in a blue moon occurrence, that it seems ticky tacky to take it away because the offensive player was 1 toe past the defensive player. They need to find a way to blow the play dead for offsides so we don't get all excited about a goal in the first place.

Use Balogun as an example. His parents are Nigerian and were living in England. Parents were visiting the US, she was 7 months pregnant and airline wouldn't let her travel back to England. He was born here, so he could play for Nigeria, England or the US. He chose the US.

Hell yeah! Shocking after they initially said there was no appeal process and it would stand.
Trump probably said it would be a shame if the FIFA HQ accidentally caught a stray JDAM during whatever our next military engagement might be. Would be a real shame, a real shame, but these things happen ya know, from time to time. They are unavoidable during war. They just happen sometimes. One minute your pretty FIFA HQ is there, the next it is just gone, poof, gone, like it never existed. So sad when these types of things happen. Just gone. Would be such a shame if something like that were to happen.
Anyway, where were we. Oh yes, back to the 250th celebration and our big soccer match against Belgium. What a marvelous country Belgium is. I don't have any hotels in Belgium yet, but I might soon, I might soon. Wonderful people, wonderful waffles. I prefer pancakes myself, but waffles are wonderful too. So many little pockets for the butter and syrup.
Europe is a wonderful place, but needs more development. We are looking to build more hotels there and I hear there could be some new land available at Zürich, Switzerland, FIFA-Strasse 20 should certain developments come to pass, we shall see, we shall see, I hope not, but we shall see.

There will be even more people watching this tonight, largely because Americans love being able to tell the rest of the world to frick off and the rest of the world loves to hate us.
Let's beat that ass fellas (and gal).
Welp...
Oops
So we Arkansas'd it there?
Yeah, looks kinda like Arkansas opening up SEC play.
The flopping has to be addressed.
He literally didn't touch him

Belgium looks 10X better than we do right now. We can't even keep the ball.
We are playing scared. Turning it over left and right. Not paying attention.

100%
We look fuckin awful
Playing scared.
Every time the ball comes to one of our guys, he immediately kicks it to a Belgium player.
That dude is fine
Can't even get the ball past mid field.
Having Balogun ain't gonna matter much.
They need to make these flopping SOBs sit out for 2 minutes.
Playing like an Arkansas defensive backfield and we might have overestimated the ability of this US team (hope I am wrong)
Two Belgium players run into each other, we have the advantage and the ball, and the ref stops play.
Another turnover in prime real estate.
Lfggggggggg
Boom
Ha! They scored for us
So is that an own goal, or does Tillman get credit?
Head butt score for us on them. If that dude hadn't of hit it with his head, the goalie would have caught it.
Well fuck
Derp
God fucking damnit what are we doing defensively
Quote from: Boarat on Jul 06, 2026, 07:34 PMGod fucking damnit what are we doing defensively
Nothing.
Our guys act like they don't want the ball
Playing scared. Lucky we're not down by more.
Too many guys standing in one place and too many watching the ball and not going to get it.
It bothers me that the sidelines don't mean a whole hell of a lot.
Belgium is more aggressive and getting more calls like Bama.
Fortunate to only be down one. Feels like they are playing with 15 guys.
Pulisic is an awesome commercial maker. Not so much a foosballer.
That damn ;D birthright citizen Balogun better get after it second half...
WTF?
Ball game.
lol. Clown shoes. Fuck this team.
The goal keeper is fucking retarded.
Doomed.
Our defense is indeed Arkansas'ing it up. That one was the equivalent of a pop fly no one catches.
That ought to do it. Belgium is going to be hyper aggressive now. Oh well.
Belgium is clearly the better team, plus we're retarded.
WTH was the goalie doing that far out with that many of their players that close? Brain fart.
Epic fail
Quote from: Guardrail on Jul 06, 2026, 08:23 PMThat ought to do it. Belgium is going to be hyper aggressive now. Oh well.
They don't have to score again. Just play the clock down.
This is going to finish 4 or 5 to 1
Arkansas motto...there is always next 4 year.
Our strategy seems to be to kick it to the edge, then kick it to the middle, then lose the ball.
Just deport em all
Well, they're much better than the shit we had 2-3 years ago. But they're still shit.
We need a better offensive coordinator

So the US World Cup Team gets farther than they have in 40 years, then gets a bullshit red card, suspending one of their best players for 1-3 games, including the next WC game.
Then your President makes a phone call regarding his United States National team, and the bullshit red card gets overturned.
And you call that "sucking his dick."
But you want to remind me to tell the "dick sucking Trump cheerleaders" to chill.

So now you're saying trump did get the call overturned?
FIFA is corrupt as fuck, I don't think they needed Trump to make a call to get the RC over-turned. They want TV ratings and having Balogun playing helped that, so they used Article 27 to do it. Just like they did to ensure that Christano Ronaldo would be able to play in the group stage. And if you don't think Messi and Argentina aren't getting calls their way, you haven't been watching. FIFA knows the stars and big teams drive the viewers and they will make sure they will get as far into the tournament as possible without making it TOO obvious.
Interesting that FIFA had a French referee for the Argentina match yesterday, and will have an all Argentinian crew for France's game with Morocco. Quid pro quo?

I don't remember who was our woopig rules expert on offsides. But how about this modification?
You can't be offsides on a pass that originates inside the box. By the time you're down there, there is no such thing as snowbirding. You're already all down there anyway. This would eliminate goal nullification when somebody was a cunt hair past the defender, when you're already all inside the damn box to begin with and the rationale for offsides (camping past the defense) doesn't apply.
That was a great kick for the go ahead goal.

The main problem with this is that the human line judge is already given a difficult task: to physically line himself up with the last defender to judge the position of the attacker at the moment a pass is initiated. Adding this complication would require the line judge to simultaneously judge the position of the last defender and the attacker,
and whether the ball is already in the box, at the time the pass is initiated, within a crowd of players.
It's also a complicated solution in search of a problem. As it stands, no goals are being nullified: receiving the ball offside is the end of play: dead ball, turnover. Whatever the offside player does with the ball after receiving it is null from the moment of the offside.

The last paragraph is circular reasoning. Of course goals are being nullified. They're being approved on the field, then nullified by offsides on VAR. I guess Alabama didn't win all those forfeited games they won on the field either, right?

Which part of the paragraph bases its conclusion on one of its premises? It's binary: either the pass receiver is offside or he isn't. If he's offside, the play is dead and it's a turnover. During an obvious goalscoring opportunity, the field ref often lets play continue after the line judge raises the flag because it's better left to VAR at that point.
Imagine a football team on offense at the opposing one yard line. They line up and punch it in, and everyone celebrates! Then we all see a flag was thrown, because the right tackle was offside during the snap. Is that "touchdown nullification", or just a dead ball penalty?

So the 100,000 times a basketball announcer has said "they disallow the basket because the foul occurred prior to the shot", they were all incorrect because there was never any basket to begin with?

It feels like offsides is a bigger issue because it often takes away scoring in a low scoring sport. A goal taken away from an offsides call has a larger impact than questionable call in most other sports.

There are no goals taken away by offsides. They're the Kaiser Soze of plays. *poof* they never existed.
I believe that the offsides rule should be changed such that the offensive player must be completely past the defender to apply offside. This would make the offside trap much more difficult to employ, and would allow for more open play.

The whole England-Argentina soccer rivalry is awesome. Before the game, the Argentina VP posted on Twitter about "putting the invaders in their place". After the game, the players were singing chants about Maradona and the Falklands. They held a banner that said "The Falklands are Argentine", which they are going to get fined by FIFA for doing. The Argentina coach changed his lineup, started the son of the player Beckham kicked to get a red card back in 1998. It was not a good tempered match.

I read the history of the rivalry at halftime. I had heard the term "Hand of God" in sports before, but never knew where it came from. The US coach was even involved in the 2002 match.

Not up on the rules, but what is keeping a team up 1-0, say with 10 minutes left, from playing "4 corners" until time runs out? Kick it down, then back to your own end/goalie, then back and forth like that. Do they have to try to score or get it past mid field?
Spain ain't fucking around. They are playing aggressive. The fun kind of football to watch.
I wish I could remember exactly how I lucked into this buffalo sauce, but it might be the best I've ever had.
Hot, vinegary, mmmmmmmm.

I was very passionate about the Argentinian national anthem (singer).

Not against the rules, they can try to do that, but harder than it seems
Are there clear rules on what physical contact is ok, what's a foul, and what's a yellow card?

Seems like going for the legs instead of the ball is a yellow card. Not sure what else.
Perfectly run play by Spain and one guy fucked up and wasn't there for the header.
I guess you could say they Arkansas'd the shit out of that play.
If these fuckers are as injured as they fake to be, they need to sit out a few minutes.

Between what is a foul and not seems very subjective to the ref and it changes play to play.
The strategy then is play as rough as you can get away with.
OQ - want to chime in?

That seems to be the answer.
Just flipped it on. First game I've seen. No idea what's going on and I'm so grateful for football.

This seems like more FOOTball than what we play ours should be FOOT and HAND ball.

I guess ours is like soccer, but for men.

LOL! Yep.
This halftime show belongs in the wtf thread.
Kind of makes me wish I was tripping on shrooms. It might be good then.
WTF? Another lip syncing road whore. I will be back after halftime. And the White Stripes must have made a fortune on that one song.
I can't tell if the Asian singers are boys or girls.

Was George Santos spotted on the pitch?

BTS was the best of the bunch.
Bieber has immense talent but his music is just not my style.

The Korean boy band. They did Jimmy Walker's original hit Dy-No-Mite.
The old lady at the beginning was Madonna. She sucks.
Worst fake job in history.
It's a weird sport when one team is absolutely dominating a 0-0 game in the 2nd half. Does it matter?

Only in boxing.
Hard to believe that Argentina hasn't had 1 shot on goal the whole game.
Has the Justin Beiber/madonna halftime show happened
Argentina flew too close to the sun on that one.

Yes, but you didn't really miss anything
This is some high quality soccer, I think. Still don't know what I'm watching, except they're trying to kick the ball into the goal.

It is the only game where you can go take a piss, get another beer and ice more down, and maybe nuke a snack, and not miss anything.
Dude deflected a sure fire goal for his team right to the goalie with his head.
It is finally over. Now we can go back to soccer for men. (Thanks Yank)
Spain allowed only 1 goal the whole World Cup (to Belgium). That's pretty amazing whether you appreciate soccer or not (I don't, really). That's suffocating defense.
Maybe Belgium really was the 2nd best team in the tournament.

What in the actual fuck is this? Why did they even have her only for her to lip sync a 25 plus year old song? Isn't she dropping some shitty album soon. This was cheesy af
You all were talking about Madonna/Bieber/BTS and not one word about the magnificent Shakira. Shame.
This is so good by the bbc

When a fire happens I'm sure there's a Bluetooth dongle that just flushes all 50,000 people down the chute.

Or when a plane crashes into it. Wait, that only happens in America.
