    Are you saying...  

    Ballgame

    ?

    I'm not saying England has no chance, but Italy has to be heavily favored.

  2. My only question is, is 2nd place in Euro 2020 the best major tournament performance for England that most of us will witness in our lifetimes?

    I reckon so, myself.

    Past a couple of strip malls you'll notice some parking on the left and what looks like a fence around a cement wall. That wall is the TOP of the stadium that goes down into the ground. (The cheapest way to build a bowl.) Be prepared to be completely unimpressed, especially if you have been to a big high school stadium in the state of Texas.

    My brother used to live about half a mile from Pizza Hut Park (or whatever it's called now) in the mid '00s, so I've been to a number of games there.  It's not a bad place to watch a game, except if you have to sit in the full on sun on a hot day (I think they've added a little overhang but there's still very little shade), but yeah, I've always noticed how pretty much every new MLS stadium built since then has been considerably nicer and not so bare bones.

    Stadium aside, that franchise was doomed when they decided to stick it in a super white suburb 30 odd miles from downtown Dallas.  I'm kinda glad I never got emotionally involved with FC Dallas, though, now that there's a team less than 2 miles from my house in Austin.

    This summer??  

    I'm not implying they just started diving and flopping like mad.  I'm just limiting the comparison to the current versions of these teams.  Any team with Neymar is likely going to be the worst.

    Of course they would.

    But we are talking about 1 and 1A of divers in this game.

    Brazil is the flopping-est team I've watched this summer.

    Why are we limiting ourselves to overrated former Arsenal players?

    It makes sense and I'm glad they let them do it. Most of the soccer I've watched, fairly limited, has been matches between European clubs or national teams like at the World Cup or Olympics where the heat hasn't been too much of an issue I guess. 

    They're doing it at a lot of the Euro 2020 (that's being played right now) matches.

    yeah i don't get the bitching about ESPN+.  it's $5.40 a month and you get a ton of value with it.

    Nearly everything else about ESPN sucks, but yeah, ESPN+ is one of the best sports streaming deals you'll currently find.
