But, but, we beat Netherlands and Germany's D team!!
we don't care about football
Ignoring the faxt, that the US spends 14230958347866X times more on football than fuxking JAMAIACA
mediocre in a sport the world actually cares about
What's worse, mediocre in a sport the US actually (now) cares about.
The inability of the US to produce even one world class soccer star in all these years of playing the sport is utterly astounding.
It's only going to get worse, tbh. The MLS is starting to bring in washed up stars from Europe + Mexico fan favorites.. Taking up spots that can go to other young americucks looking to grow.
Not really. By the time a player is ready for the MSL, it's too late anyway.
You can't "develop" soccer stars. By the time they're 15 they either have it or they don't.
I'm not sure of the football academies here in the U.S. but let me take a wild guess in saying they're nowhere near the levels of their European counterparts. Gotta develop those skills at a super young age. Soccer isn't like basketball where if you're 7ft tall, you can start playing in high school and become an NBA player.
There aren't any.
A story I watched on Womens Soccer, the girls are told in High School they need to stick with 1 sport. The age I've noticed most future Stars get special treatment is By the age of 8.
<------- Attending my 2nd Padres game of the season on Friday. Buddy won 4 tickets and hotel room for 2 nights in a charity raffle
Everyone is already debating what to eat &drink in the stadium. The game?
Well. At least this fat piece of manager will get sacked.
So I see all those 'we're amazing in a sport we don't even try in' 'Muricans have all shut the up.
"But I believed that we would win "
