Waking this thread up just to point out our ladies are playing as I type. 

England Vs USA 

So anyone watching?

Apparently the tickets for match sold out in less than 24 hours which is the fastest since the new Wembley stadium was built and this is a friendly.

The girls better be careful last time women's football become more popular than men's they got banned from playing.

Awesome! USA women are strong player, traditionally. Far better world ranking than our Men’s team.

Going to go watch now…

That stadium was lively! Nice to see so many fans. 

Apparently the tickets went on sale shapely after we won the Euros against Germany.

But yes a very enthusiastic crowd I really want women's football to continue to be taken seriously.

We’re going to watch FIFA Women’s World Cup, USA vs. NED tonight at 9 pm ET. Anyone else watching?

I’ll cheer USA all the way, but my favorite player is Alexia from Spain. She sets up so many goals. Always assisting, OR making a golden pass-before-the-pass-before-the-goal. Attacking Midfielders are awesome! ️

I'm not watching.  They preempted Jeopardy to televise the match.😬

Futbol/Soccer is catching on here in Ohio as we now have two professional teams.

I'm not a real fan yet, but if given the choice I would gladly attend a soccer match before I would watch American football.

OK... you started this, so prepare yourself for a bit of a story...

To start, I have been involved in football since birth. My father and grandfather, both long left this realm, were big into the sport. My grandad was born in Portree, Isle of Skye, Scotland and grew up in the Catholic area of Glasgow, a die hard Celtic supporter. My father was a FIFA/CONCACAF official and officiated many international/club matches. He was the governing official of the US Indoor Soccer League at its inception in the early 80s. As far as myself, I played for 19 years before taking a career ending injury in my 3rd year of Uni. I played and was invited regularly to U13/U15/U17 USA camps, at one time was regarded as one of the brightest up n coming Center Mids in the country. I played club ball with several bigger US players that are now retired....I am old FYI lol. 

Now, to my true love, more so than fish...Manchester United. I have followed United for now what is going on 30ish years now. Been a One United member since its inception and have been to over 20 matches in my lifetime...not including other clubs not United(FYI, my first ever big match was the Old Firm Derby in Glasgow when they had to separate fans with 20 ft bobwire fencing...the hate is real there). As far as message boards, I was the first American moderator of Talking Reds, the official message board that was on the United website and created The United Lounge with other former mods from there that ended up at its peak with over 250K members. If I could tell you how much the high and lows have been for me, its insane. To think when I started following United we hadn't even won a English title in ages and Fergie was about 2-3 years into his management career there. To go from there to domination and now back to barely top 4 finishes hurts my soul endlessly. I just pray daily that the Glazers sell my club so we can once again regain our status among the hierarchy of the World Elite. 

Kit wise...I am obsessed with all kits not just United. Prob own 200ish different kits and training kits. About to start a full wall in my bedroom of shadow boxes with legend kits inside. I could go on and on...but the love is real. This upcoming year will be the start of my United football half sleeve tattoo as well. So they will be permanently on my body to death. Can't wait!

Amazing!! I shall don a ManU kit just for you.

My son plays midfield. No delusions of grandeur here, but he has good taste in midfielders IMHO.

My personal favorite, now retired, is Andres Iniesta. My eldest son loves Pedri. My middle boy… he likes forwards… talks most about Robert Lewendowski probably.

My all time favorite player is a forward, Eric Cantona. My new vehicle dons a personalized plate for him MNUTD7...seriously I adore him. My all time favorite midfielders are Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Andrea Pirlo & Zizou. My football kit collection def has a lot of differing teams and players. I recently just purchased 15 more, my very first Messi kit the Inter Miami black one. I am not a fan of Barca, respect the players, but as we lost two European titles in 3 years to Barca...never will like them. More of a Real fanboy honestly in that sense...their midfield right now might be the best I have seen in ages. Its absolutely bonkers that they have two elder stars with 4 of the best young players in the world not to mention the Brazilian forwards they have...they are going to give everyone fits for decades.
