I've been watching MLR since it's inception, but this is my first time watching World Cup!

Only really my 4th! Loads of fun. A few upsets. Jeopardy. This world cup more than any previous!

Who's your MLR side?

Ma hometown SaberCats (or SaffaCats or SaberBocks if you're aware 🤣). If you're a fan of the league we have a [email protected] community here too.

I dunno who to support next season now that they've taken RATL away from us :(

I guess Miami is the closest to you now, but that's still quite a haul. If STL materializes they're not much closer, eh?

In the cup here my closest ancestors among the competing nations are Italian, then I think English, and French a distant 3rd. So I guess I have a few options to root for!
