Thanks but I don't get those channels on my cable service. I have to use something like Fubo but that one just doesn't work well with my kit. IDK why.

Well, the game ended with no scoring so a 0-0 tie. Went an extra 5 minutes. LOTS of action and very intense game.

This is a win for the USA as England is a VERY good team and in theory should have won. It's very reassuring that we rose to the occasion. Now all we need is to beat Iran and we advance.

IDK much about the strategy of soccer but on the extended highlights it sure seemed like our guys didn't exploit their chances too well. I saw several chances when a good cross would have put the ball in front of the net but they kept dicking around with passing.

Put the ball on net, hope for a lucky rebound and put it in the back of the net. The ball will never go in if you don't shoot it.

One thing I love about a soccer game is that once it starts, it goes. No TV timeouts, no commercials. Refreshing.

Team Canada played well against Belgium, but we are still waiting for our first (men's) world cup goal . . . Croatia looks tough tomorrow.

A tie in the US/Britain game seems like a better result for Team USA than expected?

It is.The expectation was that we'd get stuffed. It seemed to me that our side played more "to avoid losing" than attacking for a win.

I'm sorry, but ties in sports just suck donkey balls imo.... There, I said it and I ain't takin' it back either .

Flatt, you should have been able to view it on your local free (OTA) Fox channel.... can't you get all of the local stations?

Edited: Go get a $20 antenna if you can't

I have tried that but a ridge to my immediate east blocks line of sight to NYC. The cable package that includes the local stations is outrageously priced.

Plus, winning a championship based on how well a goalie guesses in the shoot out is bogus.

Yep... don't like "sudden death" (first score wins) type of wins in any sport.... play extra, pre-defined periods until a champion is determined .... through sheer exhaustion if that's what it takes !

FB, how long ago did you try an OTA antenna, and was it amplified? I had some "problem channels" years ago, and it took me a few attempts before I found one that works "at MY house" .... been happy ever since .

With college basketball, football, and NFL...I have plenty of sports to follow.

I've tried watching soccer several times...I never get more than a minute in and quit.
