16. Watching this sport has been new to me. Pretty exciting game.

Really liking it, except for those thuggish teams who seemed to be auditioning for a movie what with so much overly dramatic 'Oh, my boo-boo, he hit me..' instead of playing the game.

So much more exciting than US NFL snooze-fests. I hope US fans turn their backs on the NFL and show up for the better game!

As to the US team loss this evening, maybe they just didn't want to have to go to the White House & listen to how Trump saved them with his whiny-ass phone call snit fit about our 'star' getting a red card.
