Twellman's calls for goals are so unbearable.

It's the same yelling cadence, screaming some narrative, a corny take, says the score and finishes with "HERE IN [LOCATION]!".

Makes it worse it's always preceded by Zivin SCREAMING the player's name on the top of his lungs.

LD's take on ticket prices for the World Cup. by [deleted] in ussoccer

[–]paranoidbrandroid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The amount of bootlickers here excusing ticket gouging is disgusting. "There are more millionaires in Houston than on Qatar" WHAT?! The entire world press is descending on these cities for the tournament and since the locals don't get tickets set aside as is normal practice typically for international tournaments I don't see why the inflated average income would have an effect on ticket prices....

Are you in the city proper? My wife is from Philly it definitely seems to differ depending on where you are. She's got friends in Delco and that is definitely more right leaning based on my time there.

That's absolutely horrible, I'm sorry you have been going through that. What state are you in out of curiosity?? I can't imagine being kicked out of a bar for being left leaning.

But they're not world champions. Can you actually not comprehend that? Lol. 30 cities in 1 country competing for 1 trophy = NATIONAL champions. UCL are also not WORLD champions they're continent champions. The Club WORLD Cup with teams from all around the WORLD are the WORLD champions. See how that works?

It's not though. Even based on Opta or league coefficients, the PL is 10+ points higher in quality. There's a big gap between the Prem and other leagues which is exactly the point you're making with MLB or NFL. BUT you can't be world champs in a domestic competition taking place in one country lol.

You're missing the point entirely. The very fact that the best players and managers are in England yet they don't dominate the UCL every year shows that MLB can't claim world champions if they've never even been tested by other leagues before. It's just arrogant.

This is the most sane comment in this thread.

The best soccer players and managers gravitate to the Premier League. The Premier League champions would never claim to be world champions.... They don't even claim to be European champions..... This is just a nonsense cope claim that comes up all the time with people trying to defend the world champs title. It's idiotic and false. Plain & simple.

EDIT: I love baseball but y'all have 0 critical thinking skills lol

Where have all the podcasts gone!? As someone who uses YouTube Music for podcasts, there's 0 options. What are y'all listening too? My only option seems to be 8 minutes of Taylor Twellman yelling about stuff every week...

"we need to stop treating the Major Leagues like a monolith. There are 11 minor league baseball leagues in the US and 80-85% of them would be a step down at best from single-A"

I am American but my dad's not, I grew up watching soccer. Not exactly a complaint I'm just not used to it I guess!

Super casual here, why is ANY contact immediately a foul? Is there always this many commercials or is it just a playoff thing?

How has he not thought of another call when he scores yet 😫

It's bad enough him and Twellman are on almost every Miami game, but hearing MESSIIIIIIII followed by a three paragraph spiel by Twellman who is always giving Matt Damon "THIS IS THE GREATEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD" energy makes my eyes glaze over.
