I'll be watching as many games as possible. It sucks the two teams I normally support aren't in it (USA & Netherlands). I'll mainly be cheering for the Tottenham players. They have a lot of players in the England & Belgium squads.

I will be watching. Not sure yet who I will be rooting for. DirecTv will be broadcasting some of the games in 4K.

It's a pity indeed that the Netherlands didn't qualify.
England and Belgium are in the same group, and should normally pass through to the next stage, although Carlos aka cma29 might not agree.

We have a good team, but have never won a major tournament.
Hopefully we can overcome our 'shyness'.

Wow, 4K must be great for soccer.
We're still at 720p here, but usually the image is pretty good.

Uruguay is in a group where they should qualify for the 8th finals.

I do agree. Panama just making to the Cup was amazing. I expect a three-and-out, but, hey, anything can happen (but not likely).

Will be watching Tuesday along with Bart
