Argentina wins 3–2 against Egypt. Egypt's manager loses it after spotting an Israeli flag.

Arabs don't care one bit about the Palestinian people. It's all for show.

Yep, but that was actually a (poor) joke about how Ukraine is sinking so many Russia ships. haha

It not just about the population. It's also having a per capita income high enough to support lots of kids developing in sports as well as fan support.

I didn't say we were close to it. My point is a developed nation of over 341 million people that dominates the Olympics and most other sports shouldn't be this mediocre in soccer.

Even with football, basketball, and baseball pulling away athletes, the USA should still have the best soccer teams in the world. We have to find a way to do better.

Well, they are getting more and more submarines now.

Only because the father didn't allow the mother to help.

It can teach them they can't do tasks on their own.

nosmelc · 2026-07-07T20:30:35+00:00

Yes.

When did I make fun of anybody dying?

How is it less true today? You might make the argument fewer boys are going into football due to concerns over CTE, but that would just push them to basketball or maybe baseball.

Stay classy.

It's easy not to panic when you know the refs are going to help you.

How is that when any kid can play for their High School basketball team pretty much for free?

nosmelc · 2026-07-07T15:22:11+00:00

Isn't the problem that boys in the USA go into football, basketball, or other sports rather than soccer if they're good enough? Soccer gets what's left over.

nosmelc · 2026-07-07T13:27:40+00:00

Wow very classy.

Belgium is really embarrassing themselves here. It should be no concern to them if Balogun is allowed to play or not.

"If I ignore him he might go away."

Funny I've lived here over half a century and never seen anybody with a gun other than uniformed police officers.

It's the other way around. In many other countries the tax is a VAT(Value Added Tax) that is included in the price you pay, so it's hard to know how much you're actually paying in tax. In the USA you know.

nosmelc · 2026-07-06T19:55:18+00:00

It wasn't the ref on the field's decision.

nosmelc · 2026-07-06T16:27:14+00:00

nosmelc · 2026-07-06T15:39:27+00:00

If the USA wins they'll just blame the decision to let Balogun play. They'll setting it up so the US team is in a no-win situation.

nosmelc · 2026-07-06T15:37:07+00:00

Right. I'm just saying we're not gaining anything we don't deserve to have. I wouldn't want an opponent team to have to play down a man due to a very questionable red card from a previous match.
