  I've been hoping someone would start one! I'm recording the Brazil game today. My brother will be in Spain in a week and I am so jealous. I think it would be so fun to watch the games there.

  I thought about taking B to the 2022 World Cup but it will be in Qatar. Hot, so very hot.

  Can you imagine the pressure on the Brazil team? I heard their star is only 22.

  I talked about going to South Africa for years, I even talked about doing our honeymoon there once we got engaged.  I really want to go one day!!

  I would LOVE to attend the games one year. Definitely not in Qatar though. Are you crazy @Lizzybizzy80‌?
  
  @kdc2007‌, thanks for sharing the article. I love me some Pope Francis. Although I didn't plan it, I like that my daughter is kinda his lil namesake.

  @Nix55‌ maybe not that crazy, here's hoping (a) World Cup 2026 is in Canada or the US: (b) 13 year old B loves soccer; and (c) 13 year old B wants to travel with his parents.

  So who is everyone cheering for? Any matches you are looking forward to?

  
  

  My family has first generation German and Dutch immigrants so things get contentious around here. I try to stay out of it although I think the spouse won the argument when he got El a Germany kit for the games.

  
  

  I'm kind of dreading any Portugal games because we live near Little Portugal in our city and when they win a game the horns are blaring all night. 

  I always support the German national team but I always follow German soccer. I'm a Frankfurt fan. I'm just always so underwhelmed by the US team.

  so I thought the PK call against Croatia was a terrible call. the Brazilian flopped all on his own. it didn't look like there was any contact (or if it was, it was minimal)

  Agreed.  But refs seem to do this almost every World Cup, especially for the hosting team.

  We taught B how to say "goooaaaalll" while we were watching the games with my brothers today. Granted, did think we would be using that for Costa Rica!

  I love the Netherlands and Germans, after the USA. I was a bit disappointed that the Netherlands didn't wear orange their first game.
  
  Also, camping is going to be rough this week. Need to check the games and pick my times to head up to the local Applebee's.

  That is how I watch a lot of games too @lizzybizzy80 - i watch for the score to change, and then rewind to see the goal.  But that is only for games that I really don't care about at all. 

  
  

  And I also can't believe Spain is out.  And I can't believe that we KNOW Spain is out so early!  It is week 2!!
