They've controlled the play so much better I only watched bits and pieces, remembered that I wanted to look up a song and then spent an hour browsing live festival performances, good times | ||

Definitely not the most exciting football. All my other sports are on offseason though  Well I guess that's why they are 6th. They finish their chances | ||

They said In the Mexico vs England pregame that England had changed their lineup against France to add more defensive players but have since gone back to their normal lineup | ||

One goal caused by bad goalkeeping and bad refereeing and another goal just because the keepers just aren't tall enough. And it's the same problems almost every single game. Yeah it's improved rapidly seems like. I remember not long ago the US and Germany would just roll every team outside the top 5 like 4-0 or so. Norway looks really bad chasing the game here though. | ||

You could really say they were literally carried to the trophy by the Japanese population. I cried on that day | ||

Seems fairly even for many teams. It's definitely a lot better. They showed something about how before 07 I think USA used to average like 3.75 goals per game but in the last 3 world cups or so the gap is shrinking and the USA only averages like 1.8 now because they don't completely outmatch the worst teams as badly anymore | ||

Still get decent opportunities though cause it's a very dominant team in the penalty box. | ||

Exeter City has offered any player involved in the Torquay youth system the chance to train with the City academy and this is more than just a token gesture as it’s realistic for kids/players to make that commute/move. The West country is quite isolated from the rest of the United Kingdom and it's very hard to for kids growing up with their footballing dreams to ever make it and become a professional footballer. The clubs in the area should have the duty to nurture and train any talent that does come from the area and help them on the path to bigger things. It’s a very sad day when any club decides to operate on a buy and sell basis and not bother with a youth academy anymore. But it’s especially sad in the Wets country because there are already so few chances for the kids/players. | ||

They didn't really outplay Germany or the U.S. (both teams that they beat while winning the WC), but just won the game on that day. The field is still 3 teams + the rest, just like it's always been. | ||
