-one bracket of 48 or two brackets of 24? I think it has to be two brackets. If it’s a single bracket, the matchups for the round of 32 won’t be...

A few more photos. When you take 900 shots, a few of them will be decent... [ATTACH] The LAFC section in the upper deck [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

I saw that too, and I concur.

I sat in the first row (wheelchair row) and took way too many photos. It'll take some time to go through them all, but here's a sequence showing...

Something I haven't seen talked about. With a 24-team tournament, there's a table that defines who the 3rd place teams play in the knockout round,...

Historically, the knockout matchups have been determined by where you finish in the group. A1 plays B2, and so on. So it’s quite possible to end...

A rep-worthy quote if there ever was one

That camera angle is fascinating. Is there a way for an individual to get access to it, for arbitrary games?

Sorry, what am I supposed to be seeing here?

After the England-France game I had a split-second subconscious thought, looking forward to what Grant Wahl was going to write about today's...

They did. Right after the opening of the pregame show at 6am (west coast time) Rob Stone gave the news and did a tribute. It seemed pretty heart-felt.

Being discussed in at least two other threads https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/rip-grant-wahl.2123867...

I don’t mind VAR, but this is overkill. How does the software judge where the shoulder ends and the arm begins? At some point the call is so close...

I disagree. Both Qatar and the US do things that I object to. Just because I live in the US, I don’t forfeit my right to criticize Qatar. I should...

Thanks! It's good to know that OTA DVRs are so inexpensive. I don't have an antenna at the moment. But it's good to know that's an option.

Nope, it's not like TiVo where you can manually add minutes. You're stuck with what they decide is the game length. If it really matters, I do...

In '94 the kickoff times were generally 12:30, 4, and 7:30 (PM, Eastern Daylight). I went to games on the west coast, which were generally at 1 PM...

Last I heard, we don't find out any of that until late this year. Maybe around the World Cup?

Forecast for Doha tomorrow is 110. Unless tomorrow’s announcement includes games in Death Valley, no where in the US is close to that.

Definitely. I just re-ran my World Cup simulator. Denmark now has an 87% chance of advancing. With Peru in the group, it was 74%. Frances chances...

But, there’s this scenario if we open with a draw and England beats Iran: Game 2, Wales beats Iran, England beats US Game 3. At this point England...

They aren’t spending 30 million pounds. The report said 30 million dollars, which is about 24 million pounds. How pleased are you in that case?

I just ran my World Cup simulator. It uses Elo ratings to simulate each game, and plays the tournament 10,000 times. It's not a particularly...
