I know I've seen children walk out with the players in Premier League games to (but without the anthem of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 ^ It's a fairly recent phenomenon is all I know. Like, when I used to tune into the odd major tournament game back in the day (WAY back in the day - the 90s), there were no kids holding the players' hands.

Sabel79 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 The US should be up about three by now. Antonio Valencia is still a scumbag. Some world class low-key cheap shots being dished out by Ecuador already. This has been fun so far. I no longer preemptively regret my decision to watch...

GoPre Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 The US hasn't made the semi-finals since 95'. Have a long way to go, but if they win tonight I'm going to be very happy. Definitely worth staying up for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 1st 1/2 kind of looked like Snarks-Pens. Lots of attempts at Ecudoran shots blocked by the US & good chances generated off the transitions for the US. Hopefully they keep it up for another 45.

GoPre Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Heart skipped on that one. For a second looked like ECU had one during the 48th minute. Edited June 17, 2016 by GoPre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
