How's this for a potential Thanksgiving weekend for Fox...

They get the Cowboys game on Thanksgiving Thursday this year.

Friday is USA vs. England in the World Cup.

Saturday they get Ohio State/Michigan.

And if the NFL gives them the double header that Sunday they could get a big NFL game that day.

Anglobowl group is gonna be fun

I looked at this thread hoping to see artwork by Rasputin...

This thread is worse than Hope Solo's vagina.

I did tooo ironically

I've lost my mojo. Really need something to inspire me but I don't know if I can even focus with my breathing issues going on. I'm sure something random will come up if I get feeling better.

Pretty good draw the US is even money to advance. There is no group of death per say this year but Group E is sneaky tough especially when Costa Rica sneaks in there.

US have even money to advance.

Bet you money in this World Cup cycle a record is broken for the most watched soccer game in American history with the USA v ENG matchup.

You are mistaken.

I always get worried about playing host countries...even when its Qatar.

Probably get USA England in the morning on top of it so it’s before all the other Black Friday college football games.

Can’t wait!

That one game… USA/England will get good TV ratings because it is on the Friday after Thanksgiving with no NFL and minimal college football competition, but any World Cup games that go up against the NFL will get destroyed.

You went from "it will be completely invisible in the US" to "well yea that will do really well" with the kicker of "the games going right against the NFL will get destroyed" when the US group games are on Monday afternoon, Friday after noon, and then a Tuesday afternoon.

The venn diagram of soccer fans and NFL fans is not a circle. Sure the NFL gets its viewers but it is funny to watch how quickly you ran away from your first comment. There is only one Sunday in November any games will even go against it.

I'm not a soccer fan but I'm going to watch. July 4th ain't for nothing. **** those English oppressors. Freeeedom ***bald eagle cawww cawww***

I can't speak for bars per se but Strange Days Brewing in the River Market are a bunch of soccer dorks and have opened before 9am to televise matches.

I'm not into soccer but I've found myself there when getting into KC on an early flight.

I’d rather have our group TBH…

Qatar is better than what most think and screw playing the host nation, Senegal is probably the best team to come from CAF, and the Netherlands are always tough.

I like our draw…could’ve been better but could’ve been a lot worse. One of the more decent paths to the Quarterfinals…
