Event Hey, do we need a World Cup thread?

[SlyPokerDog]

Who is the favorite this year?

Will the USA allow the record 10 teams from Africa and their fans to enter the country because of the Ebola outbreak?

Does anyone else worry that Apple will eventually come out with the ibola?

 

[Mediocre Man]

No

 

[HailBlazers]

No

Ho

 

[BBert]

I don't, but you do you.

 

[Hoopguru]

No

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Looks like we already have one.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

What if we call it Foot Hoops?

The sport that flops more than SGA?

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Just one more nice thing we can't have because of Trump........

 

[inconceivable]

I don't see the downside of having one.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Should we have a thread about having a thread about the World Cup?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Should we have a thread about having a thread about the World Cup?

How about a thread where we complain about Oregon and PDX being the worst while watching the World Cup?

 

[PCmor7]

How about a thread about Dundon relocating the World Cup?

Omaha Nebraska. Thats the answer for everything.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Omaha Nebraska. Thats the answer for everything.

Omg Omaha???

All this time I've been planning on relocating to Broken Bow. I heard they are the answer to all things.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

They won't make it out of the group stage, but Scotland have won the World Cup of songs:



Still partial to this banger from the 80s:

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Cantona is such a fucking legend I can forgive him for not mentioning playing for Leeds

Spain, France, England, Brazil are all considered favorites to win. However, in this competition there’s really no telling.

Probably shouldn’t write off Portugal or Argentina as possibilities to make it to the semis.

@Rastapopoulos

Who’s your World Cup pick?

 

[ehizzy3]

Rooting for USA, Colombia, and Portugal

 

[PDXFonz]

Rooting for USA, Colombia, and Portugal

Always pulling for USA. I’d like to see the hosting nations make some noise. Would also love to see Portugal win it in Ronaldo’s last campaign.

I think I’ve underrated France.

USA, Portugal, Netherlands. Let’s see what the Dutch can do… And how about Norway? Norway are coming into the World Cup quietly, but in crazy form behind Haaland. Norway should be a lock to make it past the group stage…

I’d venture a guess that Haaland didn’t care 1/2 as much about winning the EPL this year as he does about winning a World Cup.

The World Cup is an off-season blessing, convince me otherwise.

While some of you are going to debate which player picks their nose the most. The rest of us are going to be watching the greatest sporting event on the planet.

Haven't really been paying attention. I'll be rooting for Iran and Scotland.

Harry Kane will 100% get the golden boot (again) though

Harry Kane is going to get the boot you say. So you reckon England will score the most goals, or that nobody but Kane scores for England. Sounds like you are backing England bruv.

Put Ollie Watkins in.

Kane is our only reliable scorer, but I think Tuchel has paid attention to the freedom Kane has flourished under with Bayern and will use him accordingly.

Hey, Scotland just beat Bolivia (who just beat Brazil) 4-0 - and they scored all 4 in the first half!

Leeds's great players tend to be Scottish so I'm biased. Be different if Pep hadn't killed Kalvin Phillips's career. He should try to get Uruguayan citizenship to reunite with Bielsa.

Serious question
Does the US have a team playing?

Technically, yes.

I think I’ve underrated France.

Favorites if there is one.

 

[kjironman1]

Favorites if there is one.

Is this both Men and Women?

 

[HailBlazers]

Is this both Men and Women?

Women's next year.
