It can? Have watched two streams that are basically FIFA World Cup for dummies today and still don't understand how the seeding works until the knock out rounds, as they are called? I mean I'm trying to understand but there are so many rules and options. Losing a game is not bad, until the time comes when losing a game means the team is finished at this World Cup.

Please bear with me for asking dumb questions.

group stage is a round Robin. knock out rounds is one and done
God loves you so much He'll meet you where you are. He also loves you too much to allow to stay where you are.

Aahh. Now that makes sense as a round robin with various tie breakers such as goals scored, opponent goals allowed, yellow card penalties for those games in total. Got it. (Well sort of.)

THANK YOU!

I don't think the brackets are fixed in a way that can happen? But I know nothing about FIFA, so.


FIFA is corrupt

A tough loss. The Scots had a solid second half, but that early goal by Morocco was what did it. The Scots still can advance, but need to show up well against Brazil. As is, they overall did well against a team that is a strong contender in this Cup.

It cannot happen. The earliest it could happen is July 10 if USA is first in Group D and England is second in Group L and they both win two knockout games. It is a fun thought but not possible under any scenario.

The people in Scotland are fun to party with, and we greatly enjoyed our trip there, but they are politically way to the left. Probably more so than the Brits or the Irish.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.


A few things are pretty dumb/fake here.

The grocery store I shopped at in Germany was about the same as the grocery stores I shop at in Texas. The idea that Germans would be awed by a meat counter is dumb.

The idea that they'd be impressed with our roads/highways is dumb, as Germany has very nice highways, largely nicer/better than ours. Same goes for airports for the most part.

+1. this world cup is proving to be a better celebration of america's 250th than anything the current government could have cooked up.


"The current government." Just enjoy the show and don't ruin it with cheap political rhetoric.

England is in group L. There was no scenario in which that group would be playing on July 4 in Philadelphia.

It's all they've got. Sure as hell can't defend their policies.

The most bizarre thing to me is European soccer fans geeking out over yellow school buses. There are a ton of videos of them freaking out over them and they say they only thought they existed in cartoons and movies and they don't understand the logistics of it and how a bus can pick up kids and take them to school. One Scot actually jumped on one and rode with a bunch of third graders.

I believe your experience with a grocery store in Germany, and with Germany's roads is not typical for large parts of Europe today.

This. Your average Euro these days is living an almost 3rd world level existence. We think of tourist Europe but most of them don't live in those places. They live in run down government apartments the size of shoe boxes and have very little material wealth

European, including German, grocery stores are no where near ours. German roads far outclass ours unless you consider fly overs and 12 lane roads which are only necessary because people don't know how to drive as an improvement over the Autobahn.
