Charles J. White Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Canada vs England. A moment when the elder, a champion, faces the student, Not just any student, but family. There are great expectations from Canadian soccer fans this Saturday. A time many of us have been waiting for. This is going to be THE match of the tournament.

Charles J. White Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm afraid to make a prediction. I really want Canada to stand up, and be counted on in this match unlike any game they have played in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantpothead Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) We are the underdogs..........I hope we play as well as we have been. If we do I think we'll win 2-0. Edited June 27, 2015 by Plantpothead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 55,000 tickets have been sold so far, Canada loves its footie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I had more interest in yesterday's German vs. France tussle, but I'll go with England today. If only because I think the U.S. will have a more difficult time with Canada than England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 The stadium is sold out. Both England and Canada are making there way to the pitch right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 The big screen is lit up in my basement, and the sound is cranked way up. There is a lot of energy in my house right now. Both kids are watching it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Sorry Charlie. 2-1. Congratulations England. Thank you Strider. Well minutes 3 through 5 at the beginning cost us the match. There was from what I could tell 7 serious errors, 2 of which cost us the match. Congrats England, until next time...The wife even opened a bottle of red wine for her and I as we watched this evening...It really sucks, but the good news is that Canadian soccer fans have really stepped up with a wonderful crowd of 55,000 people. I'm cheering on England now in the tournament, so I hope my brothers and sisters in motherland stand up and be counted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTM Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Nice one England ladies, have to say though I've not seen so much hoofing since I last saw the local non league amateurs having their sunday kickabout on my way up to the village paper shop.

Strider Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Alas, England couldn't get it done. Japan moves on to face the U.S. in the Cup Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) I don't understand the refereeing in soccer...and that goes for both the men and women World Cups. Strange mindboggling calls and the yellow card/red card system makes little sense. Anyway, I'm rooting for Germany Saturday and U.S. on Sunday.

LedZeppfan77 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 4- 0 the USA leads already!!!!! Only first half and 16 minutes left. Ugly. Last goal a long shot from mid field. Caught the Japanese goalie napping. And almost 5-0 as I type. I bet $30 to make $18. I wish I had bet the farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Abby Wambach from my hometown of Rochester, NY helps lift the trophy, as the US Women win the World Cup. I have bought many a twelve pack from her father in the past at their store outside of Rochester, Wambach Farms which is a farm market and it sells beer and all kinds of useful needs. Great place and great player is Abby. And a voice for the gay community as well. She has been a very great player for the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sathington Willoughby Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 That was a very entertaining game. U-S-A! U-S-A! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Very proud of the U.S. women coming through for the Red, White & Blue! I had no idea it had been 16 years since the last WC win for the U.S. That's a longer drought than I figured for such a strong program.
