US is pathetic
Hopefully Uruguay will play all backups lolThey going down in flames on Monday. Smh
Ronaldinho said the Brazilian team is the worst one he has ever seenI don’t trust Argentina to go byke to byke, my money’s on Brazil
I am just a casual fan with a casual futbol eye, but Brazil does not look elite at all. They look very average and ain’t scaring anyone.Ronaldinho said the Brazilian team is the worst one he has ever seen
Too many Americans are engrained in Football, Basketball, and Baseball. The media especially ESPN doesn't cover or support the sport especially for Euro or Copa. And, there is no youth development system like Germany (I live here), France, etc.We're going to see more of this USMNT losing if we don't start treating soccer like our other sports.
Too much mediocrity in the US federation right now.
It's time we send our youngsters overseas to get developed and play with the best.
I'm talking 10-12 yr olds going to the academies in Holland, England, France, Germany, Spain, etc.
There's no reason why our best soccer youth keep playing the club team circuit. It's money driven and political. And it's not producing DAWGS on the field.
He said it was for a commercial.Ronaldinho said the Brazilian team is the worst one he has ever seen
Going to ride the bench in Europe wont produce Dawgs either....Lets just be honest.We're going to see more of this USMNT losing if we don't start treating soccer like our other sports.

I think the American system has shown great progress. We went from LandyCake and Wigger Dempsey being our best players, to having a strong athletic team who can give anybody trouble.
Because of the cuacasity of American exceptionalism. These white folks think we should just roll out the ball and be able to compete with countries where futbol is life. It's a damn fringe sport here! And it's probably going to be that way for the foreseeable future. It's time to accept that shit and go all out for the kids that actually choose to play it. Get them the best opportunities in nations where they get honed like the other kids around the world. Other nations send their best here to get trained at track, tennis and golf just to name a few. But we to good for that, huh?We not giving anybody trouble losing to Panama.
And the American system in soccer is god awful. But we keep it going because the ones at the top want to stay AT THE TOP. As long as the main goal is to just qualify for the world cup, their jobs are never in jeopardy.
And the cream will rise to the top. I say let our young boys compete. Fuck coddling them in this shit club system here in the states.
America's all about free market, right?
Well let's see who survives overseas. It worked for pulisic. And ppl thought it was crazy for him to move to Germany at 15 yrs old in hopes of becoming a professional footballer.
Other countries send their best to Europe, why can't we do the same?
I get what you’re saying, but the kids in Europe start playing at a very young age (i’m talking at age 4), sort of like the kids in US start American football at an early age. Plus, the fields these kids play on here in Europe are strictly for soccer, not American football. The US will always be at a disadvantage, no matter how much emphasis they place on saying they’re gonna get better and build up their programs.Because of the cuacasity of American exceptionalism.

And the American system worked to produce guys like Demarcus Beasley, Tim Howard, and Stuart Holden.We not giving anybody trouble losing to Panama.

That’s cool and all but that’s only one city. In Europe, every small town has its own FC that it supports. Then everybody supports the larger FC around them. also, MLS is a completely different animal compared to Bundesliga or Liga or Premier league. MLS has no relegation and everyone knows that players go to retire to MLS since it’s just a poor man’s league.well it already started in the burbs, now its starting in the inner city, I just saw a daycare center dedicated to soccer training,
that shit was unheard of just a decade ago..
sheeet I aint never seen a daycare dedicated to baseball or even basketball... but they have one for soccer.. in nyc....
so I can see the sport really growing in the next few decades...
crazy shit is.. Basketball is growing just as much as soccer is, cant say the same about baseball and american football tho..
Get rid of offsides and the scoring would be crazy. It would also mean far more Africa talent on the pitch, so of course it will never happen.I wish there was more scoring in soccer
I'm sitting here watching this Mexico/Ecuador match like.....

Elimination match for Mexico.....
And these ninjas still couldn't score 1 damn point
Get these sorry ass mofos off my TV screen
But that’s part of the game. Think of the same in American football, how easy would that game be without calling offsides lol. That’s a thinking part of the game, makes it interestingGet rid of offsides and the scoring would be crazy. It would also mean far more Africa talent on the pitch, so of course it will never happen.
