Oh my favorite soccer discussion. Which American athlete not in soccer would make a great soccer athlete.

Every first baseman would make a great goalkeeper and every defensive back would make a great center forward.  It's science.

Ah. The famous Grecian-backdoor method. Wouldn't be against it. 

Just looked it up because it's still one of the craziest things ever - Greece won Euro 2004 with 7 GF and 4 GA. They advanced to the elims on 0 GD and then won 3 straight contests 1-0.

Thank God ESPN was able to secure Julie Fowdy's services for such awesome analysis.  Pregame.  Poland v. Slovakia.

Dude: Julie.  What separates Lewandowski from others in Europe.

Fowdy:  Well he's a treat to watch and scores and scores and scores.

In 1999, Loudy Foudy claimed the girlz would beat the men.

I don't think it exists after a cursory Google search. This is the best I could do.

Possession isn't that bad actually. But corners won and total shots is funny.

If Shaquille O'Neal had grown up in Brazil, Portugal, México, or maybe Uruguay/Argentina, [EDIT: Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Morocco… I apologize for my Euro/Latin American blinders]…

He would have been a combination of:

Ronaldinho & Mbappe & Hulk & Thor & The Silver Surfer

With the right exposure to the possibilities of what a showman could do with a soccer ball ️, he would have been abducted by aliens and kidnapped to star in the the Vega Premier League.

Goal taken away from Finland

var is a beating. guess he was about an inch offside but i am not convinced we are well served by celebration followed by var revocation. i know i am a bit of a broken record about it so i will shut up about it.

hahaha me too, man. it's a free cross. cross the fucking ball

I  understand the logic if you have some sort of masterful set play (short corner, back post cross to catch the defense out) but they never do. It always ends up as a goal kick or turnover.
