So no offsides in American football either? No 3 second rule in basketball? Who needs a blue line in hockey? Foul balls a base runner can run? People constantly say there needs to be more scoring yet when an American football game ends 14-3 it is exciting? That is only 3 scores for the entire 4+ hours!

Default FIFA Soccer- World Cup: Thee Villages Connection

Our family is beyond excited and proud of involvement in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 . Our son and daughter-in-law work for FIFA in Doha, Qatar,

Currently, Ansen Sligar is the FIFA Team Liaison Officer for Team Croatia,
Mariana Quintanilla-Sligar is the FIFA Languages Services Department Manager.

During the months of the pandemic Mariana and Ansen were caught between international Covid lock downs as they transitioned from their home in Lima, Peru to a new home in Doha, Qatar. They spent seven months, of the border closure restrictions in The Village of Palo Alto, The Villages.

Mariana spent her time, in The Villages, pre-planning operations for FIFA's World Cup Language Departmental services.

Ansen also worked as a member of the Virgin Islands Olympic Committee. Ansen's involvement with the Tokyo and Beijing Olympics took place right here in The Villages via many Zoom meetings. Doha, Qatar.

Ansen also served as FIFA Team Liaison Officer for the Cup World Cup (Monterey), African Cup (South Somalia) and the Arab Cup (United Arab Republic) while in Doha. He also was Chef of the Mission for The Virgin Islands Summer and Winter Olympics in Japan and China.

Luckily we have been able to see glimpses of both of them during press conferences and on the televised live match coverage.

Both Mariana and Ansen loved their opportunity to spend the time in The Villages during the Covid closures while working at their Villages base.

To my uninformed opinion major difference between offsides in football and soccer. What would be wrong with a breakaway with soccer with 1 on 1 offensive guy and goalkeeper?

Very rare that football scoring is that small.

I would like soccer more if there was more scoring, that is my opinion and sticking to it.

Every major bracket championship goes this way. Whoever gets hot will get the win, not the favorite if the victim. Why I will not waste betting on them!

Often enjoy it when the underdog wins especially as that rarely happens. France will probably win this again but I sure would like to see Croatia take it all.

How about a start time and end time for the game with no clock stoppages? Hurry up football?
