Good Luck GGail! Love your chart Chips 🙂 I love soccer but never watch it on tv.. used to watch my sons play, now my grandson is taking it up. Sooo where can I watch online tonight? Is it online??
THIS is precisely why I stopped watching football – too much stress. My poor heart is already going pitity-patitty-pit-pat so I doubt I’ll last for 90+ mins. My ideal way of watching is to wait until someone scores then run in to catch the replay, or wait until I know the final outcome, and watch the replays then.
I know I can’t! I’m currently doing slow breathing exercises to see if I can calm myself down, while telling myself I have no dog in this fight. Hasn’t helped so far.
I am also in the camp of too nervous to watch, which is why I will be checking TOD off and on for updates (not that i would really know what I was watching for most of the game). Kudos to Cgail for trying to learn as she watches.
Well, for some strange reason I positioned myself where I could watch and type at the same time, so I’m not qui-te ready to give up just yet. Honestly though my heart truly is beating faster than normal.
I definitely hold Chips C and Tally responsible. This is the first game of the world cup that I’ve been tempted to sit and watch, and it’s because those two, ALONG WITH DUDETTE …and GGail, have hyped it up!
I hope Bo and Sunny have not contaminated their masters. It’s one thing to have a mole in your house, it’s another to be converted by it. Well, I know who my POTUS and his FLOTUS are rooting for. For the same folks I am rooting for, the first time in my life watching a match of World Cup.
Chiiiips! Dudette! GGail! Tally! THIS is absolutely the last game I plan to watch in its entirety. If I survive this I’m returning to my tried and true relaxed-watch technique – only watch the goal replays.
No, no more, Bobfr! It’s far easier to hang completely in the village, dashing to the family room every time a shout goes up. Watching replays only worked beautifully in the USA -Ghana game. For sure watching live won’t happen again. The only reason why I haven’t moved away is laziness, since I’d have to move the stuff I moved before the TV so that I could do both.
Chips, LL, Dudettte and all other TODers who follow #USMNT closely – what do you think will be their approach to the 2nd half? What have you seen that they likely will attempt to do differently? Thank you!
Actually, I’ve been impressed with the attacking nature of the USMNT’s play this first half. They’ve had many many chances. I think Klinsman will continue the attacking play. It sucks that we don’t have Altidore; he’s a major part of the attack.
Thank you, LL. Makes sense. I need to learn a bit more about the sport to understand what the play patterns are. And, of course, it would help if I had the time to watch for more than 3 or 4 min brief glimpses in between the stuff I’m supposed to be doing!! 🙂
They’ve got to be way more adventurous in the second half Bob, very cautious in the first, which was understandable against a better team, but a goal down now, so have to go for it – wide men need to push forward, gotta support the front men!

thank you meta!
Meta, this is the link I’m warching in espanol 😀
Damn
Within the first 5 mins! O no!
That’s alright! Brush it off, boys! Git back up!
Nani – the useless twat who has done nothing for Manchester United in, oh, 96 years 🙄
The only reason that nonentity scored was because of our awful clearance. But brush it off!
I feel partly responsible: http://theobamadiary.com/2014/06/22/rise-and-shine-the-week-at-tod-16/#comment-1061233
jinxer!
I know. I’ve always had trouble deciding who is my most loathed footballer: Nani or Ronaldo. 50% of them have scored, I fear that…..
Hey, I never friggin’ liked CR7 even when he played for my boys!
I can’t handle the heat in the kitchen. Better go take a break.
C’mon guys, I BELIEVE!
Alright! Good work fellas. Let’s get a goal!
Congrats Dudette on first!
I’m watching online in espanol 🙂
Hi GGail! Thanks!
Congrats Dudette for your gold. I hope I could write CONGRATS FOR A GOAL now.
Thanks NCLB! I want to that goal something awful! 🙂
Dempsey needs some backup. Where are the midfielders? Come on!

I know. I’m already rocking on the edge of my seat, yelling at the TV. Dunno if I can keep this up for 90 minutes. 🙂
I know I can’t! I’m currently doing slow breathing exercises to see if I can calm myself down, while telling myself I have no dog in this fight. Hasn’t helped so far.

Too. breathless. to. reply, CC.
😀
Don’t laugh, Bobfr. This could be serious. 😉
vc, ck your email pls
Not now, Gx2!

Thx CEB
USA! USA! USA!
Wow, LL, vc, dudette, y`all all rested now and ready to Goooo!
🙂
Go Bradley! Good idea! Keep at it!
Cryyyyyyyyyying!!!!!!!
DCPlod gave me the idea. 😆
😀
This is as intense as the 2008 and 2012 elections!!! Wow.
My heart, I hear you. Stay still. In the words of my VP, everything will be alright.
😆
😀 I’m with you on that!
As I am wont to opine: Football IS LIFE!!
Ooooo, that was close!
Try again darth
Renaldo off side! Ha!
LOL!
https://twitter.com/dangitobama/status/480840062582538240
LOL! 🙂
Me likey!
I guess Sunny and Bo are now in the hot seat!!
And Pete Souza too -he’s of Portuguese descent as well 🙂
I hope Bo and Sunny have not contaminated their masters. It’s one thing to have a mole in your house, it’s another to be converted by it. Well, I know who my POTUS and his FLOTUS are rooting for. For the same folks I am rooting for, the first time in my life watching a match of World Cup.
I home my heart will handle itself correctly.
DEEE-FENSE!
Alright that one was scary!
I love it!
LOL!
Water break!
They’re saying that’s the first water break ever in the history of World Cup. Wow!
I can’t believe I am watching soccer . I also just found out I have espn on my cable .
Rats!
Phew! Missed. 😀
Phew!
AWESOME free kick, CR7!
Lawd ha mercy! I’m in agony. This game is rough on the heart, I tell ya!
But thank you Tim Howard!
😀 😀 😀 😀
Cute!
Come on Team USA!!!
😀 😀 😀 😀
Ugh! Half time! Go Team!
Time to call the Greek and the Roman gods.
Zeus, Athena, Phoebus Apollo!
Jupiter, Fortuna, Apollo!!
I think there was a movie back in the 70s or 80s where someone named their Dobermans after Greek Gods. 🙂
Chiiiips! Dudette! GGail! Tally! THIS is absolutely the last game I plan to watch in its entirety. If I survive this I’m returning to my tried and true relaxed-watch technique – only watch the goal replays.
Trust me, I understand. 🙂
Dee, it’s half time and my heart is still racing!
So, ‘the quiet one’ is having a rough go of it!! 😀
I suspect that if USA wins (which, they will 🙂 ) that you’ll be watching all 90′ against Germany 😀 😀
No, no more, Bobfr! It’s far easier to hang completely in the village, dashing to the family room every time a shout goes up. Watching replays only worked beautifully in the USA -Ghana game.

“The only reason why I haven’t moved away is laziness, since I’d have to move the stuff I moved before the TV so that I could do both.”
I see!! 😀 😀
Take care!!!
Have your black bag handy, please. I may have to call on you. 😉
Which one of you is bringing Team USA bad luck? hmmmm?
No me. I’ve just called on Zeus and Jupiter!

Whooo… I need that rest for half time! This is INTENSE!
Tim Howard deserves a medal!
Second half!
