    Thanks for starting this thread, Dipo.  The World Cup is amazing.  I'm just sorry it's in Qatar.

    Yes, they are. And FIFA fields are larger than MLS.  Lots of room to run.      https://backyardsidekick.com/soccer-field-size-layout-and-dimensions/#:~:text=source)-

    Dipo, I’ve gone to US pro soccer games for years. They can’t always play in football stadiums unless the field is much larger than the average football field.

    To be honest,  I’m a bit surprised that the USA won. It will be much harder against the Netherlands. I don’t see them beating the Dutch.

    I was surprised to see that as well Kookliebird, and I don't really follow Soccer but I thought Iran was a really good team (don't know where I heard that).

    That's wild that the U.S. won.  I have to give the Americans credit.  They always seem to perform above expectations.

    On a side note, I thought the USA kits were horrendous.   They looked like they had all wallowed in the mud before the game.  😳
