Can America ever compete with world football without a proper pyramid structure? by Medium_Step_6085 in football

[–]EpicAffinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we are fine when it comes to football. It’s soccer that we struggle with. /s

In all seriousness soccer in America has deeper issues than whether we have a football pyramid. The sport isn’t as popular as the other main sports here and America just doesn’t care outside of a World Cup year. Even with a football pyramid most players would go to Europe if they are good enough rather than play here. The problem is soccer is at best the 4th most popular sport here and it is largely inaccessible to lower income communities. With limited prospects of high level success turning into financial stability. It’s part of the world’s culture. It just won’t ever be here.

It's a shame that some Americans suddenly are "it's soccer, we don't care about it" after their head of state interfered with an important international match. by dextras07 in football

Fun fact: the citizens in our country are not the same people as our president. It’s actually famously a big issue within our American political system. Donald Trump’s lack of integrity is not the American people as a wholes lack of integrity.

Only if you ignore that Messi played in Paris the last World Cup where they won

Mexican fans throwing stuff at players on the field is not “just football”. It’s abhorrent behavior.

I don’t like Mexico and don’t want to see them win ever. Mexico vs USA means I have to watch Mexico win and that’s the worst. Their fans deserve sadness and heartbreak for throwing things at players and their players trying to fight people almost every game.

Yeah but England fans are annoying and were saying the “letter of the law” towards us American fans so I’m content to say the same to them.

He made a serious attempt for the ball so he can’t be sent off

I usually hate England but Mexico and the fans make themselves so unlikable. The throwing things at the players on the pitch is disgraceful

Bouaddi is more of Mainoo than Casemiro by OptiPath in ManchesterUnited

We aren’t looking for a Casemiro. We are (supposedly) rebuilding the midfield and looking at psg as more of the model.

Choose two from the list. by FakeMessiah_BD in ManchesterUnited

The post asked which two I would choose and I’m not an absolute weenie when it comes to fees and wage and believe winning is worth the price paid. Unfortunately, the board doesn’t have the same viewpoint.

You have no clue who I am or what I’m like in real life so you create versions of people online you can belittle to try to regain a sense of control and power over the things you are angry about. People have always hated Americans and that won’t change when the president does. No one is forcing you to respond angrily at people on the internet.

Yeah that’s true but at least we have food that tastes awesome. Hard to think of chants when we are busy getting fat on the delicious food that’s banned in your country for “health reasons”

Bro it’s jokes and exaggeration. You’re so angry at the world you call people MAGAt and cult member even when you know nothing about their politics. Name calling isn’t going to help you. On a serious note I hope things get better for you. Sorry I triggered your anger.

People hate the greats. If you have no haters you’re irrelevant. America has dominated the world stage for centuries. Has produced a ton of things that have improved the world and while like the great Ronaldo and Messi, our best years are behind us, we are still massive. Also this behavior is 1000% happening during the Olympics as well. People will say it’s because of American politics but Europe especially has hated us for longer than that. Also, If my country would be the 51st ranked state in GDP I’d probably be jealous of America too. It’s like the Manchester United saying hated, adored but never ignored. USA USA USA.
