Tomorrow when the game starts I’ll be excited.

Fun fact, we have never lost to Wales or England in the World Cup. I’m working from home tomorrow so I’m going to enjoy freshly made American hotdogs and some Welsh apple pudding as a special meal for the game.

Thanks Buzz for all your info here. I'm going to try and keep track tomorrow. I don't have TV or cable but I can keep track of scores, etc via the internet.
I'm so excited that it's WC time again!!!
I'd love to see Wales win but I will be happy for the US if they win too. It's a win win situation for me with this match.
(Yay to Equador today!!!!!)

A) Not really. I am "interested", not "excited".
B) I'll be working from home, but training, so don't know how much I can focus on the game.
C) According to the schedule, the game is at 2p ET...

I'm interested as well. I'm not sure I'll be home by 1:00/2:00 today, but have set a reminder in my phone just in case.

I'll have to check which radio stations around here have it, in case I'm in the car.


I do love your positive attitude @Buzz Rules, that "we've never lost to Wales"!

(For those who are asking the sample size - we've played them twice, with one tie and a 2-0 win. )

I hope it's a second win today!

I heard that Qatar is the first host in WC history to lose their opening game.

Apparently they have fair weather fans. Many left the stadium well before the match was over.

That is true. First host to lose their first game. Most fans left at halftime. 2-0 was not an overwhelming score , that Qatar couldn't come back from.

They played worse than South Africa in 2010.

Stream the game on the Fox app on your IPhone/iPod/smartphone and plug it into your car to listen to the game live while driving.

Good luck today @Jangles . I’ll root for Wales in your game against Iran but today we are going to win, period. Stars and Stripes are back in the WC after 8 years. Woohoo!

And here I thought one of your twitter posts might come in handy. Time to read the fine print...

During each Game, for each goal scored by the USMNT, if any, Sponsor will Tweet a unique keyword (“Keyword”) from the @ChipotleTweets Twitter account (each, a “Promotion Tweet”). Once the Promotion Tweet is published, eligible participants can send a text message with the Keyword to the short code 888222 (the “Short Code”). If the Twitter service is unavailable for any reason, Sponsor will use reasonable efforts to conduct the Promotion on Instagram and the Short Code will be published in Instagram Stories on the @USMNT Instagram Account. Up to the first Five Thousand (5,000) participants who send a text message with the Keyword to the Short Code will receive a text message with one (1) credit valid for one (1) regular entrée item (the “Entrée Code”).

So, US scores, Chipotle will put out a tweet with a code word. You need to text that code word to 888222. The first 5,000 participants get a text message with a credit for an entre.

Want to make a bet by sending them a text, you've now "done business" with them, and they can send you "promotion" texts?

Just to clarify, I'm not "blaming" @Buzz Rules for anything. I think Chipotle is being sneaky in their promotion.

Cmon Bale!!!! First the Union and now the USMNT….

I swear there must have been four teams on the field (US/Wales)... two played in the 1st half and two different teams played in the 2nd.
