USFA was the term around 1910, then a number of years later the F in football was changed to S as in soccer. It hasn't helped USA to be respected as a football powerhouse. In regards to USA " soccer" , MLS is a retirement league for old football players no longer good enough to command high salaries in Europe and US players not good enough to play in Europe professionally. MLS is basically a joke league .

Plan A was to make paella tonight but because Italy won I'm making sausage ragu(ragu as in homemade sauce not the carp from a jar) and sauteed broccoli. Going on no sleep and having to make a few things for dh that's the best I can do on no sleep

For celebrations such as this a pot of Sunday gravy, a tray of lasagna, some pickled eggplant and a large salad would be in order

Lasagna is good, I have no idea what a pot of Sunday gravy consists of and you lost me at pickled eggplant. The salad might be doable depending on the ingredients.

@Tony the Tigger another candidate for an intervention

Sunday gravy is just spaghetti sauce.

Close but not quite. Sunday gravy has meat and not so many veggies

My spaghetti sauce has meat too and very little veggies. The Sunday gravy they serve at Trattoria al Forno has no meat and no veggie chunks. I figured it was just a terminology thing.

Then they're doing it wrong LOL.

Pickled eggplant is a little more like eggplant in really good garlic Italian dressing you could always add cheese to it

I know places where you could get locked up for saying that

In what world??? I've been all over the world for the last 73 years and this is the absolute first time I have ever heard spaghetti sauce referred to as Sunday gravy. Hell, for at least 30 years, in the middle of all that, Wednesday's were considered Prince Spaghetti Day. What would that have to do with Sunday? I don't know, maybe I didn't get the memo. I've even lived down here in the south where they have a penchant for naming things like they were all insane, yet no mention of Sunday Gravy.

I even worked with a guy back in the 60's that was 140% Italian and he gave me a recipe for Spaghetti Sauce (note not Sunday Gravy) that had everything including the kitchen sink in it and it took a full 12 hours of simmering to make. Required imported from Italy whole tomatoes. tomato paste, pork chops, homemade Italian sausage and to many herbs and spices to even remember. When my wife left she took the recipe with her and probably decided that slip of paper was taking up to much room in her 3X5 card file. We can't find it in stuff that she left behind so we have to assume she tossed it away. That recipe makes the rest of you look like people opening up a can of spaghetti-O's. Sunday Gravy, indeed! Was that something that Gen X came up with.

In the south Sunday Gravy could easily be Sausage Gravy which is a staple here along with biscuits. I wonder if someone heard the name Sausage Gravy and thought they said Sunday Gravy. Still doesn't fit in but at least it provides an otherwise unexplainable reason.

Adult problems:

Walking through your least favorite grocery store like, "I hate this store. Why am I in this store? There was a good reason. Can't think of what it was at the moment..."

No issue by us. We had some heavy rains, but nothing crazy.
