Don’t get angry

What the heck man?!?! I’m trying to help him workout his issues and let his emotions out and you’re trying to ruin all my hard work?!?

Just athletically the US isn't close yet. Just compare our national team to the best nba, mlb, or nfl athletes. It's just not there yet. I don't know how you get the really elite athletes in the US to play soccer when there are so many other choices, maybe some day.

I think its still skill we lack in. At least we have guys that can dribble now.

The US being mediocre is a big part of the problem. That last World Cup Final was as exciting as any football game I've ever seen. When the goods teams play its a way different game.

And that’s largely the problem with the MLS. Quality is terrible and unwatchable IMO. European leagues are much more watchable

I love the red and yellow cards are so weak crowd yet they like a sport where you can tackle a guy, but not a certain way or you will get ejected and sit out the rest of the game.

Agree. This match never felt close. There was no tension. No anticipation.

Last night, England v Mexico was unbelievably good.

Lol! I don't think I'm the one who feels called out in this exchange.

That’s it? What a let down. Anyhow, enjoy going around telling other people all the things that you hate. As I said before, let those feelings out. It’s no good to keep them bottled up.

Some people like checkers and some like chess.

If no more were issued it’d be about 2% of games.

The charge is dead and the game is good

And teams can still play defense if they try

This year there have been a total of four flopping technicals in D-I vs D-I action.

So basically slightly above 0% of games.

The techs in basketball for flopping were getting called heavily when first put in, it’s why you don’t see it as much.

I don't know why you think I'm angry when I have genuine concerns about your reading comprehension.

And the pressure of the world against us…you know how that works right

No I think it's because the USA isn't as good as a bunch of teams. Been that way for...ever?

Baseball looked at their sport and realized one of the killers was the dead time between pitches so more action would happen. Every pitch has a chance for some big action. Baseball figured out how to keep the attention span of the audience. Soccer needs to find something like that if they want to keep the average viewer watching.

Comments like these make me feel like Ray Kinsella. People all around me but can't see the players on my field of dreams.

Soccer is great as it is. It doesn't need to make changes to keep the average viewer watching.

Soccer is stupid. Football is way more fun. I love games that have 10 minutes of action spread out over 4 hours with 2 hours filled with beer and car insurance commercials.

The really depressing part isn't the loss. Its the feeling the USMNT hasn't closed the gap with the European teams in the last couple of decades.

How many of these games have ended 0-0?

Not this World Cup. Been great. Seen my share of 0-0 games in the past with stoppages every 30 seconds on a foul. Boring.

I'm exaggerating though, just pissed on our showing and venting with stupid posts. Budweiser having something to do with it.

You just watch these things to complain about what you don’t like about them? Weird dude.

No, I watch because it's a US team. Do you have trouble with reading comprehension?

That $30K covers entry into something like 8 tournaments (that don’t charge extra for admission to watch BTW), coaches, and refs for games. What non-rec league sport is cheaper?

All of it is insane.

All indications are it was due to not being as good as the other team.

I feel like this is a shot at curling.

We can come back around to this in 3.5 years when people care about curling for 2 weeks.

If you don’t watch soccer, don’t like soccer and don’t know the rules why do you even care?

It only counts when you tell everyone your opinion and get others to bro hate with you.

And the elitist prick faction of soccer fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing their sport will remain 3rd tier in the US and not get too popular.
