No worse than getting your panties in a bunch because someone doesn't like your sport.

Why do people feel the need to make insulting comments? If you don’t like it, fine. Don’t see the need to be so expressive about it.

I know some people that think football is a dumb sport with no strategy that requires no brains. They don’t typically go out of their way to bash the sport.

If you don’t care about soccer, fine. We don’t care. Let the rest of us talk about it without having to deal with trolls.

The US has the best athletes in the world. Unfortunately none of them are playing soccer. If our best athletes played we would be a problem.
Over half the team out there would be running 4.3 forty’s down the field and jumping 37” verts on corner kick headers. I know that skill and touch have great deal to do with the game. But no excuse for a dude like Messi to be outrunning everybody.

One thing the US always has is golkeepers. If you need dude that’s 6’4 230 can jump and is going to charge a defender, we got a bunch of those dudes.
If all the kids that played football or ran track would play soccer they’re would be a lot of millionaires in sofla.
 
Love for James and Colombia to hoist the trophy, but it’s hard to bet against Brazil

If America cared about soccer we would be winning the soccer championship every year.

Athleticism isn’t the most important trait in soccer. Technical skills, knowing where to be and when to be there, and instincts are all much more important. Athleticism helps, but it is worthless without the other thingsz

USA teams are known for being quite athletic, but not very good technically.

I'd love for my boy Messi to win, but unfortunately I think he missed his best chance 4 years ago. I think it's a wide open tournament, several teams could win it: Brazil, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain maybe even England

They aren't good technically because we have some of our worst pro athletes playing the sports. I wasn't being sarcastic when I said the kids that play soccer are the ones that couldn't play a skill position in football. My coach used to point to the soccer team all the time and say to the kids acting like pussies. If you want to be a ***** go join those foot **** over there. If Kyrie Irving, Isiah Thomas, Lebron, D Rose, Marshawn Lynch, Saquan Barkley, Giuce, Chris Harris, Marcus peters, etc. all played soccer growing up and America funded soccer teams instead of AAU and 7 on 7 teams we would absolutely obliterate every other country just like every sport we actually play. Just look at the UFC when America didn't care about it the Brazilians dominated then when America got involved(and we still don't have our elite athletes playing) we began to dominate. We have all but 2 of the championship belts and Brazil has 0.

I disagree with that. Think of the way IMG has a sports academy for football: kids go to school and eat, live and breath sports. It's pretty much the only one of its kind in America, where as Europe have these type of academies all over, and grabbing these kids from the age of 7. If America decided to do that for soccer, go grab these kids from these urban area, give their parents a quick 80k a year with the best education, yea, I guarantee the talent pool would drastically change. But with like most sports, you have to get them when they're young. ****, I can say the same thing about US being great at Rugby if we decided to put the best athletes in that sport. It's not about American arrogance, it's just about the pool of talent to draw from, and I'm glad that punk *** generation of players that lost world cup qualifier are done. Sorry *** dudes!
