This thread is a perfect microcosm of our current society.

I think he is the most skilled player to ever wear a US jersey, and he's only 20 years old. His technical abilities, vision, and maybe most importantly, his confidence have grown tremendously during his time in the Bundisliga. To me he looks like he's on another level than the rest of the guys...

And that sums up exactly why the USMNT is so awful compared to the world's soccer powers. Not being critical to you individually, just saying that story illustrates how the attitude towards soccer has always been in the US. Very few young athletes have any interest in playing the sport; and...

Brother, you need to find a new sports bar! ;-)

Hey, fair enough. Everyone has their own likes. I thought both the competition and skill level of the teams in this year's women's cup were fantastic. Then again, I am a huge fan of the sport as a whole. I watched the ladies yesterday morning, the Copa final between Brazil and Argentina in...

This may be shocking to some, but I was able to enjoy a ton of really entertaining soccer matches throughout the women's world cup without spending one minute giving a sh-t about any of the athletes' political views.

Definitely some truth to that. Though some other countries have started investing much more heavily in womens soccer development, so I think you'll see more and more parity moving forward. But THE reason we are so good in womens soccer is because many of our best female athletes go into the...

And I agree with that. I just think proper preparation would take years and years rather than months.

I don't think they could come even remotely close under that scenario. Beating our current USMNT team? That's a different story, but still probably not. But they wouldn't be able to even compete for 90mins vs a side like France or Germany or Spain, etc. In most countries, kids start honing...

LOL I'm not sure at this point either.

I personally don't give a sh-t about the pay gap issue. I was just calling out how ignorant the "Let the womens team play the mens team for the money"-comment is. Yes, the mens team would beat the womens team if they played. Just like Serena Williams would get worked if she played Roger Federer...

You define ignorance, bud. This women's World Cup was more entertaining than anything the US men's side has put on in well over a decade.

LOL! sure were. If that score had been 0-0 or 1-0 I would've been losing my mind on those breakaways.

Fantastic performance by the ladies. Could have easily been 5-0 final score. Refs were horrific! Bad calls all day and every single bad one went against us. That penalty in 2nd half which was clear as day wasnt even called and we wouldnt have gotten that first goal if not for VAR. But even BS...
