I know there are at least 2 others who are going to be watching.

Prediction. England will make a nice run. Not sure about Spain with all the recent termoil. Belgium and France winning it wouldn't surprise me. I don't see Germany repeating. Brazil will flame out.

Going out on a limb and saying Belgium will win

I enjoy watching this and the euro cup, but don’t know enough to have any kind of informed discussion.

Yeah. It's kinda like the Olympics. Dont know shit about curling but we watch.

I'm interested to see if there is a huge drop off in interest in the US since our national team shit the bed and isn't in the tournament

:dat: on all points

One of the conspiracy theories I heard yesterday was that by putting the next one in North America they automatically give a slot to the US so we don't have to qualify. Therefore make more money for FIFA.
Not sure if FIFA has cleaned up it's act or not.

Used to be that they chose places without the infrastructure so that more money would be floating around. If a country has to build 10 or 15 staduims, that's a lot of opportunities for kickbacks.

I think they might be a little less corrupt than they were? IOC doe they are fucking evil.
Yea FIFA is like the Catholic Church priests messing with little boys of sports organizations.

Saw the rumor. Didn't know it was official.

Makes sense for him. Come to the US and dominate or at least be a top level player

I was thinking about the same as well, kinda like beckham transferred to LA galaxy and I believe same happens to Zlatan. That said if that happens I’ll grab my first United Jersey and hopefully with VW logo on front

Khderia is not turkish, but middle eastern

Turkish ones are
Mesut Ozil
Ilkay Gundogan
And Niklas Süle (turkish last name, but german first name, assuming dad is turkish)

Trust me, you wouldn't even think I'd be turkish the second you see me. Everytime someone asks where I'm from 8/10 I get "you don't look turkish"

Interesting fact, both Gundogan and Ozil are born in the exact same town.

I didn't know he was Turkish. I saw the headline this week about him and the Turkish President but didn't give it a second thought. Now i want to go back and read the articles
