I think you might be right about that. Best I've ever seen. Argentina deserved it hands down. What a thrilling match.

I'm just saying, all these people are wanting Americans to admit soccer is the best sport because the rest of the world watches it and it their #1 sport.
It's not even in the top 4 here. Get used to it.

I enjoy the World Cup.
I do not enjoy soccer in general. Maybe casual enjoyment of a premier league game.
The problem is people comparing the biggest event in that sports arsenal and saying “look this is soccer” which is not being honest.
It would be similar to the Super Bowl and then asking people in France (who likely get this game on broadcast) and then saying “this is what all of football looks like” Its like saying

Most of us older guys didn't grow up with soccer. I watched it at Clemson in the very early 80's, but other than that I just haven't had much interest.

They could try to be like the NFL and if the guy hits the 1st PK the other team doesn't get a chance.
30 minutes extra prior to going to PK's puts it well above the NFL>

and hasn't for several years.
Unless you're saying driving down the field and scoring a TD is equivalent in difficulty to hitting a PK, which would be a mind-blowingly stupid take.

My friend it's not that serious, I don't enjoy swimming but when Michael Phelps won in 08 it was as entertaining as anything. Was just saying even for the casual fan that match had to be exciting. And you randomly resort to calling me a woman.
You are obviously much older than me but I still feel the need to tell you, grow up.

I didn't call you a woman, I suggested you hit them with your purse, you soccer loving, satchel swinger.
If those tears in your OP weren't working, the rolling around kicking & screaming weren't finding purchase, then maybe you need to step up your game?

I love our football but very few American football players could make even 1 half of a soccer game without needing oxygen or getting hurt. If you are lucky enough to visit Italy, Portugal or Spain, just to name 3, you will understand after you see children all across the country kicking a soccer ball.

Pretty sure nearly every soccer player would be in the hospital after one hit in college football (much less the NFL) from the "injuries" I've seen in the World Cup.
When guys are getting carried off the field from someone kicking there leg...You know its soft.

Real (non-PK) goals: 2-1 Argentina. The right team won. Penalty kicks are a farce. Free scoring is a bad system of enforcement for a sport where 1 goal usually wins. That was as good a game as the sport has to offer though.

The World Cup was definitely a hard fought match, but Army Navy was also a heckuva football game this year. Not the best display of athleticism if that's what you want to see, but two teams going after each other with unrelenting heart and determination on every play, and they left everything they had on the field.

You know ppl probably wouldn't pushback near as often if one soccer fans didn't insist on how great it is and how others don't enjoy worshipping it and two continuously try and shove it down our throats. You ask for the pushback yourselves, period. Why else would you be on a Clemson site built and driven by football to tell all us simple minded folk how you don't understand how we don't like it.

it sure would be nice to be able to watch an entire half of football without a single commercial break.

Played soccer at a pretty high level in high school, won 2 intramural championships on Riggs... generally can't tolerate watching soccer unless it's an impactful Clemson game or important world cup game involving US or Italy. But, today's game was insane.

Weird thing to say when all professional American sports go to great lengths to buoy crap teams and stifle successful teams.

I could, but I don't want to. I would prefer watching paint dry or ice melt.

I don't watch any of them unless my teams are in them. And most on CBS Sports app sitting through those total games or series is like watching paint dry

I can’t believe people can’t stop trying to shove soccer down the throats of us that finds it boring. We get it that medication and therapy didn’t help your kids so you used soccer as a babysitter.

Love the game now, but it took a while. Fell in love when Ib was bringing us the Nigerians that nobody else knew what to do with. Loved it! Remember seeing one of our first breakaway plays- long bomb to Xambuk. Looked like he was gone for the score! No. Offsides! That was a rude awakening and frankli still is. Anyway, great,great match today. Franchise seemed to have the better team IMO.

The best two teams, with arguably the best two players in the world, coming down to penalties.
That was an incredible game

I just don’t like being bored to death for 2 or 3 scoreless hours while grown men flop around on the ground like fish out of water.
Glad you enjoyed the match. I just don’t care to waste my time watching something I don’t like.

the great announcers both radio and TV who were able to explain the nuances. Pretty flawed design in the game makes for numerous ties however - not good. But does allow the "little guy" to stay competitive, if that's what people are looking for. It's a game somewhat like American football in that one team can "outplay" the other but yet actually be behind in score, or at least tied. Game needs some design tweaks to allow more scoring.
Interestingly, many American major sports have undergone plenty of design adjustments over the years for various reasons - for instance, basketball, the 3 pt line; football, rules for passing and goalposts moved back. Baseball - not so much though. Still all things the same, I believe.

Team USA was terrible in the World Cup. Clemson FC would be better representation or take ALL STAR ACC team there. They didn't really try to score but if got goal they switched to defense. If like American football back in the day when team play prevent defense in second halves usually ended up losing or barely winning after big lead

I like high school and college soccer pro soccer okay but not all areas have pro teams. World Soccer is joke will all the acting fishy officiating. One ref for the entire field tons of missed calls.

That game might be the best championship WC game ever - second half and overtime were incredible
