Here is the schedule, as shown on the ESPN website. I’m sure there are others as well.
I’ve used Vivid for concerts. Obviously glitches can happen but they are very legitimate.
Australia beating Turkiye wasn’t the best possible outcome for the USA (that would have been a 0-0 draw), but my understanding is that the Turks are dark horses in this group and shouldn’t be taken lightly. So their loss kind of bodes well for the US.
I missed the Australia match, because of some weird protocol on the ESPN website. The ESPN website has the score under the Sunday games, presumably because the match started at midnight Eastern time. I tuned out after the Haiti / Scotland match, assuming that was the last one of the day.
This could be a long afternoon for the men from Curaçao.
Interesting. Here in the Central time zone, it’s listed under the Saturday games.
I’m in the central time zone as well. The game says Saturday June 13, but it pops up under the link for the Sunday June 14 games.
This did not age well.
Germany vs. Curaçao
1-1
Wow, Curaçao scores a return goal after Germany slams them at about 6 minutes.
I mean, who isn’t cheering for Curaçao aside from Germans themselves?
I feel a little sick.
I’d be cheering for the Taliban against Germany. ![]()
I am tempted to turn on the live stream website, but I’d probably jinx it for Curaçao so I won’t. But 1 - 1 sounds funny, even if it is only early in the game.
3-1 at the half.
4-1 ![]()
6-1 now.
Here are the odds for every team, not including today’s Germany - Curaçao match, which must make Curaçao a 10,000-1 odds to win the tournament. Anyone betting as such?
Fair play to Curacao for refusing to play a low block and trying to play football. Naive perhaps, but respect to them for that. It meant their fans got to celebrate a goal. Which is what you want when you travel to watch your team play knowing you are not going to win much.
Curacao can console itself with the fact that it did just as well against Germany this year as Brazil did twelve years ago…
Geez. Germany just kicked a field goal.
Up 6-1 in the 88th minute on a breakaway, maybe just dribble to the sideline and slow it down. Seems like a jerk move to score at that point. But I guess it’s fair for players to want a World Cup goal.
GD matters and Germany actually isn’t the highest ELO team in their group. There also isn’t the stigma against running up the score like there is in US sports. I think we argued this for many posts a couple Women’s World Cups ago when the USWMNT thrashed Thailand.
