36 minutes in and we're still at 0-0. Unfortunately, the difference between getting out of this stage in first or second place will come to goal differential with Netherlands. They are up 4-0 in their game against Vietnam which is also being played now.

Besides, there would've been a moment of US panic there at the end, as Portugal hit the crossbar in stoppage time and nearly sent the US team home.

Today is Tuesday, Aug. 1, the 213th day of 2023.
There are 152 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:
On Aug. 1, 1936, the Olympics opened in Berlin with a ceremony presided over by Adolf Hitler.

On this date:
In 1876, Colorado was admitted as the 38th state.

In 1907, the U.S. Army Signal Corps established an aeronautical division, the forerunner of the U.S. Air Force.

In 1944, an uprising broke out in Warsaw, Poland, against Nazi occupation; the revolt lasted two months before collapsing.

In 1957, the United States and Canada announced they had agreed to create the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD).

In 1966, Charles Joseph Whitman, 25, went on an armed rampage at the University of Texas in Austin that killed 14 people, most of whom were shot by Whitman while he was perched in the clock tower of the main campus building.

In 1975, a 35-nation summit in Finland concluded with the signing of a declaration known as the Helsinki Accords dealing with European security, human rights and East-West contacts.

In 1994, Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley confirmed they’d been secretly married 11 weeks earlier.

In 2001, Pro Bowl tackle Korey Stringer, 27, died of heat stroke, a day after collapsing at the Minnesota Vikings’ training camp on the hottest day of the year.

In 2007, the eight-lane Interstate 35W bridge, a major Minneapolis artery, collapsed into the Mississippi River during evening rush hour, killing 13 people.

In 2011, the U.S. House of Representatives passed, 269-161, emergency legislation to avert the nation’s first-ever financial default; Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords returned to the House for the first time since being shot in Jan. 2011 to cast a “yes” vote.

In 2014, a medical examiner ruled that a New York City police officer’s chokehold caused the death of Eric Garner, whose videotaped arrest and final pleas of “I can’t breathe!” had sparked outrage.

Ten years ago: Defying the United States, Russia granted Edward Snowden temporary asylum, allowing the National Security Agency leaker to slip out of the Moscow airport where he had been holed up for weeks. President Barack Obama faced congressional critics of the National Security Agency’s collection of Americans’ telephone records as he and Vice President Joe Biden joined lawmakers on both sides of the issue for an Oval Office meeting.


Five years ago: The remains of dozens of presumed casualties of the Korean War were returned to U.S. soil; in an emotional ceremony in Hawaii, military members carried 55 boxes draped with American flags off two military transport planes. Ohio State University put football coach Urban Meyer on paid leave amid claims that his wife knew about allegations of domestic violence against an assistant coach years before the staff member was fired.


One year ago: President Joe Biden announced Monday that al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Kabul, an operation Biden said delivered justice and hopefully “one more measure of closure” to families of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. The first ship carrying Ukrainian grain sets out from the port of Odesa under an internationally brokered deal to unblock the embattled country’s agricultural exports amid its war with Russia and ease the growing global food crisis.

Oh please, football is just as bad with that. An NFL game (which doesn't take nearly as much time as a college game these days) is almost always over 3 hours, despite only 60 minutes on the game clock. And of that 60 minutes, the ball in actually in play an average of 18 minutes. So don't give me the downtime argument.

Actually 44 of them (out of 1274).  Last was in 1991.  We have moved on from that sister kissing silliness.
Soccer isn't for everyone. Though, it's the most popular sport in the world, so it must be doing something right.
No, drinking is the most popular sport.  They just do it during all the down time at a soccer match.
Oh please, football is just as bad with that. An NFL game (which doesn't take nearly as much time as a college game these days) is almost always over 3 hours, despite only 60 minutes on the game clock. And of that 60 minutes, the ball in actually in play an average of 18 minutes. So don't give me the downtime argument.
I got nothing... :-[
Although when there is action its usually good as compare to dribbling the ball around midfield for 70 of the 90 minutes (plus super secret mystery extra overtime time)

Up early to catch the U.S. ladies play some soccer.
Another exciting TIE..... ::)
In soccer, it's called a draw. ;)

Besides, there would've been a moment of US panic there at the end, as Portugal hit the crossbar in stoppage time and nearly sent the US team home.
Yea, but it was 0-0 so it's like it didn't even happen.  How can you get credit for a game where no-one scores?
No Clemson football game ever ended in a tie?

The ball isn't the point of American Rules Football. The game is about two teams beating hell out of each other. Without a ball to give an occasional diversion, it would be wrestling.

A quick Google search says this has happened at least twice. Assuming the games actually took place, since there was no scoring. ;)
Those were back before it was really football.
Best I can tell, last was 1933.
Were you a freshman?

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship....

I still watch it every week, but I have to admit, my taste for it has waned a bit in recent years. And no, it's not the shittiness of the Browns, that I'm used to. Just doesn't appeal to me like it once did.

Strike the bell, Second Mate
Let us go below
Look ye well to windward
Ye can see it's going to blow
Look ye at the glass
Ye can see that it is fell
And we wish that you would hurry up
And strike! Strike the bell!
