GammaGlobulin Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Football is an exceedingly boring game, be it called soccer, or by any other name. If I would wish to waste my time watching a sport, then my first choice would be Buzkashi. Absolutely, riveting to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Can't imagine watching it. Every four years England fans believe they will again win the cup only to be beaten on penalties by Costa Rica or waiting for Tunisia to draw Germany in order to go forward. The England women’s team have more chance of winning. Edited November 20, 2022 by Purdey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect trying to get hot dogs and beer (especially) in the soccer stadium in Qatar, is going to be quite difficult????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmonkey Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 As an avid England fan that gets hopelessly excited every time the euro's or world cup comes round I watch just about every match going. But I have close to zero excitement or interest in this world cup and I am considering boycotting. Maybe I will change my opinion when it gets going I don't know but for now just not really interested - a first for me! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Odds Explained--Key points Odds are displayed with a plus or minus sign. The numbers are often three digits, but they can go to four or more places. This format is referred to as American odds, while decimal and fractional odds are the standard elsewhere. Bettors can determine the favorite or underdog based on the direction or value of the numbers. Appropriately known as American odds, these are the three-digit numbers that are part of any standard bet listing, such as -110 or +105. Here’s a detailed look at how they work and everything else you need to know . https://www.legalsportsreport.com/sports-betting/american-odds/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
