For who? It's meaningless.

I enjoyed it. By the way both teams played it seemed like it meant a lot to them as well.

Yeah, all the fans in the stands and back home in the two nations represented seemed to be into in. As a neutral, I always enjoy the game. Other fans of the sport do as well.

It's fine if it's meaningless to you, that's just not true for everyone.

I just think its a lazy argument because we arent struggling do to a lack of athleticism.
Our 13 top players were as good or as equal to most of the teams in the World cup. The difference is that 14-26 are not. Our training is catching up with the rest of the world. If we have more playing the game, we'd have a bigger pool of players good enough to play international soccer at a higher level.
thats not an athleticism problem

More athletes playing soccer instead of other sports is.

But I guess we're just looking at it from a different perspective. More people playing soccer instead of football or basketball to me, means a better USMNT.

Good for them, I guess. Probably the most successful manager they've had in a fair bit.

It's not his fault the English choke on PKs all the time, that's engrained in their culture

In support of Argentina, I'm making a traditional light Argentine breakfast. Queso Empanadas. Followed by sliced skirt steak, a 32 ounce ribeye, and a rack of beef ribs. A side of morcilla and copious amounts chimichurri.

they have to allocate the prize money. They could just rejigger it so losing in the semi finals means you get the same amount of money.

Pet peeve. This is the World Cup, not the Mens World Cup. If any woman could play at this level, they'll play her. Rant over.
