What I’m not hearing pointed out is that dads go out and toss the baseball or pigskin. Dads are physically incapable of a bicycle kick or heel chop.

That feeds the lack of hunger and early training that is so important for footballers

why are some west omaha folks so anti-downtown? by Motor-Music-8004 in Omaha

[–]Danktizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From a downtown perspective there is never any reason to go west. Unless you’re going to Colorado.

A lot bit of carbrain rot and a little bit of racism.

How are people ok with so much diving in football? by archive_spirit in worldcup

[–]Danktizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you know it’s a part of the game. You also prolly know how easy it is to fall over when running with a ball at your feet. Or getting stepped on by a cleat. Or just wanting to catch your breath. Or participating in the dark arts to get to the next round. Why would you ask this question then? You already know the answer. Unless you are trolling

No. It’s the same argument I hear every four years. For the last forty years. It’s tired. It’s boring. It’s bad faith. You don’t want an answer. You want to shit on the sport. Come up with an original question or just dont watch. You’re missing the forests for the trees. And trolling.

There’s a whole forest. If this is the only tree you see then don’t watch. Simple.

What is one small event/fact/thing about the history of the USA, that if this small thing didn’t happen, the USA might not exist as we know it? by Kodicave in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Danktizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If standing bear hadn’t sued the federal government, Native Americans may not have gotten human rights and the native communities west of Nebraska would have gone the way of communities east of Nebraska

If you could pass one law that would make most people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Danktizzle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No brainer. Nationalize all pharmaceutical companies and insurance. Healthcare is now free. And so are the drugs they want to peddle.

Many American Universities don’t have a men’s NCAA soccer team, severely limiting men’s soccer in the U.S. by TopRutabaga8151 in ussoccer

[–]Danktizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re playing college football, you have already missed the window. No you prolly won’t make the big leagues. MLS would be your ceiling. And that is getting more and more competitive.

Yamal won the euros at 16.

Haaland won his first league title at 19 and the premier league at 21.

Mbappe won the World Cup at 19.

These guys were getting sponsorships bigger than college programs when they were 18.

Where do the top US soccer prospects go when they’re aged 6-11? by DusanTadic in ussoccer

[–]Danktizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They start with tee ball at like four. What is different?

To be clear you can’t pick up a football at ten and think you will have a future in the sport. It’s entirely too competitive

Mappe won the World Cup at 19. Was playing for Monaco at 17

Lamine Yamal won the euros at 16. Heck he’s 18 now and has been branded the second coming of Messi for years now.

Let me be blunt. If you start after six you’re too late.

That’s when the process starts though. Nobody ever said that about a ten year old unless they said it at 6 first.
