So what is wrong with Soccer in The United States of America?
>Soccer
there's your first problem
FIGHT
Which aspect of it, specifically?
>>64353070
Cannot brainwash spectators with commercials every 5 min.
>>64353070
Nothing , it's getting better every year. Now all we need is a full defense battle tested in the EPL
Doesn't belong desu
America has the best leagues in the world for their favourite sports and a shitty one for one they don't really give a toss about
It's not rocket science
But we've gone farther than England in each of the last two world cups. And they've been beating Mexico on the regular. That's literally all that matters.
>>64353070
let me tell ya
Lack of national culture.
As long as we're better than England, that makes us the best Angelo nation at footy
>>64353070
Nothing, as far as I can tell. Children and girls very much enjoy playing it and it doesn't cause CTE or anything. Not bad.
>>64353162
England are 9th in the FIFA rankings, USA are 32th
>>64353162
>americo
>anglo
Also you'd be 5th, behind England, Wales, Ireland and Australia.
>>64353155
Fuck Robert Kraft. That team needs a proper stadium!
This is a big reason I'm not a revs fan even though I'm from New England. He's also fucking cheap with the wages! They about to lose Jermaine Jones just watch
>doesn't give a shit about soccer
>still better than England at it
>>64353070
Its boring and nobody should care about it.
>>64353178
World Cup 2014 the USA was better than England
>>64353192
I'd put them ahead of Ireland.
>>64353178
>32th
FIFA ratings are shit though, but the ELO ratings put England at 7th and US at 28th anyway
There is literally nothing wrong.
Just keep on doing what your doing, Ameribros.
>>64353232
fuck off you clog wearing cunt
"Fifa-Coca/Cola Ranking"
You now just by the name that this ranking is upper shit
>>64353207
Except that when World Cup time rolls around, you fuckers can't get out of the group while we move on to the final 16. Rankings don't mean shit. It's the games played, kiddo.
Keep clinging to that if it makes you feel better though.
>>64353238
Isn't it time for your prayers, Mohammed?
>Americans have two decent world cups
>Think they are hot shit
In danger of brewing some England tier delusions to be honest family
Also
>Being proud of being better than England
We're shit
>>64353270
I don't think the USA are shit, and they did really well at the World Cup, BUT do you really think they'd beat England if they played each other tomorrow? The problem is that the US has an aging side and the youth isn't exactly shining.
>>64353270
>Sample size of 1
Literally have the youngest English team in decades, they're a lot stronger now than in 2014 and will continue to get even better
Not even our media expected us to do that well in 2014 (hence why the manager kept his job despite not even getting out of groups)
>>64353317
Yeah, I do, because the English national team likes puffing their chests out and pretending they're an elite team, but always play down to their competition. I really do think we'd beat you tomorrow, or at the very least, draw.
>>64353192
>anglos
AbsolutelyDisgusting.maymay
>>64353344
you're deluded then
You have 320 million people and still can't produce a single decent player
You are almost India-tier in terms of athletic capacity
>>64353070
They have better sports
/thread
>zelalel
>>64353317
It's better to have an aging side than a team full of kids.
Just look at our NT.
>>64353344
Example? There are many legitimate complaints about the English national team but I sincerely don't think arrogance is one. They're generally realistic.
But I think you'd be soundly beaten after the appalling Gold Cup.
>>64353406
Legitimately a decent prospect for them I'd say.
USA cant even beat jamaica these days. just a team of literally whos that rely on "muh heart" and play 10 men behind the ball against any decent side in the hopes of scraping a flukey win
now donovan, demspey and howard are retired/near retirement the future is pretty bleak 2bh
>>64353232
Thanks. Hopefully the goat at Dortmund turns into something.
>>64353417
An aging side of world-class talent, sure. But the US doesn't have that right now, nor has it. It has the potential to, obviously.
They've got an excellent team spirit, something the international game sorely lacks
I
I BELIEVE
>>64353406
Pulisic mate
>>64353448
Go ahead and lecture me about our prospects and future.
>>64353468
Won't ever see it though.
>>64353423
>playing in the scottish championship
>legit prospect
no
>>64353547
He's right tho lol
our best athletes dont play it
our domestic leagues dont pay athletes enough to attract/retain/cultivate talent
>>64353155
Feel physically sick here.
>>64353470
I get depressed anytime I watch an epl game. I would be going ape shit even if my team is down 2-0 or 3-0, but the emirates is fucking silent anytime we get scored on.
As a player I'm sure that sucks, we need millwalls spirit
>>64353571
>18
>playing for rangers on loan
Oh no his career is ruined, hes obviously damaged goods and not a good prospect
>>64353571
>if you aren't Messi at 18 you are a failure
Jesus Christ man

There are some working class heroes left.
people who run the sport here aren't soccer people and literally don't give a fuck about it.
US Soccer and MLS owners benefit from keeping the league small.
>>64353719
I do wish our coaches focused more on technical ability. It's all about muh strength and grit.
>>64353157
This desu
>>64353731
no incentive
Not enough blacks.
History.
All of the former English colonies rejected 'football'
>>64353719
That's not true and you know it
>>64353155
>they don't even bother to remove the yard lines
>>64353775
>Not enough blacks.
>>64353155
>>64353808
It's because there is a NFL game the next day
The lines have to be painted on a certain time before kickoff
>>64353581
>our best athletes dont play it
This is such a dumb argument. Being a great athlete will not make you a great soccer player. We don't need more 6'2, 225lb blacks playing the game. We need better coaching/development/understanding of the game.
>>64353070
Klinsmeme
>>64353731
seems to work ok for England
>>64353840
Most of the athletes who'd be perfect for soccer still chase after dreams in other sports

>>64353908
Our league will never be close to a top tier European league. Just won't be.
>>64353822
Wow we got cucked
>>64353317
yes
>>64353070
It's like an Olympic sport here. Americans only care about it during international competition. Same as swimming and gymnastics and figure skating.
>>64354163
It's like rugby here then
You can still be good at something that you "don't care", like you do with swimming
You have no actual excuses for being that bad at football, admitting is the first step
>>64353070
Clubs names are fucking plastic. It's pathetic.
>>64353317
No, it's Klinsmeme
Obsessing over bad players or players in bad form
Refusing to give MLS players a chance
>>64354257
I fail to see how that's an actual problem
>>64353070
>So what is wrong with Soccer in The United States of America?
The fact that it's in the United States of America

>FC Evian™
literally plastic
>>64353070
The development system is 100 years behind europe, we just now have real youth academies.
>>64353070
everyone else has had either a 100 or 60 plus year head start on us. We only just started despite what that image may say
>>64354207
Well in swimming nobody else cares either so its more level. Meanwhile 80% of the world cares about soccer way more than USA does. USA cares about basketball and wins easily.
Is Jordan Morris the real deal? Remember this name
He's a collegiate National Champion as a junior, has a lot of highlights on the U-23 and scored on Mexico NT. Jurgen wants him to turn pro badly.
He's looking at the biggest homegrown MLS Contract in history and has offers in Europe.
>>64355780
No, he is not.
>>64355899
Why? He looks like the best 21 year old in the country
>>64353448
I blame Klinsmann for all of this. Although some of our players are doing decent like Fabian Johnson
>>64355780
>>64355952
If he were decent, he would have been playing in an MLelS team since turning 18. Apparently he couldnt even make it to the first team of the Soundkeks so no he is not a top player prospect. Rubin, Zelalem, Pulisic are prospects because they play/train in Europe. You just dont hear about them too much because Ussf would rather push this literally who collelge kid as some Donovan. He's 21 and Donovan was GOATing it up at a world cup at 20 and voted best young player in 2002
>>64355952
Too old already.
>>64355780
>scores a blooter against a Mexican benchwarming team in a friendly and some third-division USSF tier college team
>"Is he the best 21 year old?"
Judging by how he plays, he's basically a white Altidore to be honest with you
The 50s-early 80s were the golden years of US soccer and we need to get back to those years.
>>64356567
Ncaa div 1 teams would be 4th division under Naslel and USL teebeehaytch
>>64353070
The fact that players begin to enter MLS (Our domestic league) in their '20s and beyond, is an issue. Most players in the more successful leagues of Europe and South America begin their journey in their early teens by the time they are in their '20s they have already played for a solid 5 to 7 years.
>>64353070
Only Democrat Americans and Hispanics play football in the US
Republican Americans have been brainwashed that football is a commie, anti-American sport, so conservative parents don't let their kids play real football.
That's a huge talent loss for US football
>>64359630
>democrats
Not even. The group you're looking for are the pretentious hipsters who think anything European is instantly better.
>>64360055
He's referring to the kids that actually grow up playing soccer. Not the posers that try to emulate the FC culture
>>64359142
Nope
>>64360428
delusional
>>64353822
HAHAHA leftists are cancer. they merge real blacks and pardos, and say everybody is from Africa, when pardos have majority of european genes. real blacks are more or less 10% of Brazil's population.
>>64359630
Liberals are too busy going to art galleries or posting on tumblr desu
>>64353822
>Italy
dayum, I knew about France and UK, but didn't know Italy has more than one million blacks as well....
mama mia
>>64363131
Jordan Morris is rare in that he's one of the only US prospects in college
There was only one outfield player in college on the US U-20 team
>>64353155
ayylmao
I'm surprised that's even allowed.
>>64353086
>British invent the word soccer
>Americans, Canadians, Australians, and South Africans decide to start using the word because we already have our own games called "football"
>British get upset about us using the word soccer
Makes about as much sense as Leicester's pronunciation.
Soccer
Satan
Do the fucking math
Why does the word "soccer" make the english so mad? Why don't you guys freak out over other American words like "sidewalk" or "hangover"?
>>64364728
>Why don't you guys freak out over other American words like "sidewalk" or "hangover"?
They don.
They call them "footpath" and "Irish".
>>64364728
They get fannyflustered about sidewalk? top fucking lel
what other english word is there for "hangover"?
>>64353070
The Crest is old and retarded
>>64364986
There isn't, we use hangover.
>>64359630
Sports are too ableist for Democrats.
