Who else is watching World Cup?

[Ponietz]

9. I'll try to watch every game

I played and coached some and have always loved the game. It introduced me to the International Center in college and I made friends from all over the world. Iran too.

Since I hold the 45 minute half sacrosanct I refuse to watch on Fox. The announcers on Telemundo are more intelligent and it helps me zero in on my Spanish, too. I’ll turn it off if I’m forced to watch an ad during a half of soccer.

But if you like underdogs, watch Spain v. Cape Verde, from this morning. And Türkiye was supposed to clobber Australia but they lost 2-0.

I’d say the biggest surprise so far is the US. That win against Paraguay is the best we’ve EVER played in my lifetime. I love our players: Adams, McKennie, Richards, Jedi, Balogun, Tillman, Ream, our Captain and Pulisic. This is a special group with a special coach and it seems we have the intangibles on our side.
