@SiuPhilip @_Daniel_M_11 @rmadashing We literally had to beat Uruguay to qualify in 2006

@_Daniel_M_11 @aStrayBullet10 @rmadashing Exactly. Taking the, then, fourth or fifth automatic Asian World Cup qualifying place meant easier opponents to auto qualify and less risk, than slaughtering NZ and the Pacific islands and then losing to the 5th or 6th South American team.

I’m so confused on how Qatar are back to back Asian Cup champions but also the worst Asian team in both 2022 and 2026 World Cup

@ManaByte Shut up idiot. It won coz it had a fuckin dvd player.

The Dreamcast failed because Sony played the media like a fiddle and convinced people that the PS2 would create Toy Story in real-time and if you didn't wait for it you were an idiot. Peter Moore has been talking about the FUD campaign for decades at this point. The other big factor was EA's boycott of the system. In 1999 there was no Call of Duty of GTA, the big system seller for casual gamers in the US was Madden and NBA Live (this is what would cause 2K to come about, btw). EA bet everything on the PS2 and went to Sega and demanded that if they were to publish games on the console they would be the exclusive sports developer. Sega and no other third party publisher would be allowed to make a sports game on the DC. Of course Sega refused. It was just a just an excuse EA used to skip the console as they knew no one would agree to that. It caused Sega to buy Visual Concepts and create the 2K series. Now NBA live is dead. Smart move by EA, huh?

@XboxTimdog Get a job Tim.

Jason Schreier is basically a PR arm for Sony and it’s always been this way. Remember when he was damage controlling for Sony being less powerful than Xbox at the start of this gen. When maybe the most influential journalist is a wild fanboy that becomes a problem. Sony can have exclusives and cheers, Xbox can’t have exclusives jeers. 😂

@MsMelChen This ain’t it chief. Football is a world game. If you didn’t qualify, well tough shit.

This is going to piss some people off but I have to say it: I HATE this World Cup expansion bullshit! It’s nothing more than a thinly veiled DEI quota system that handed extra slots to weaker confederations in the name of continental “representation.” So the result is that FIFA has flooded the tournament with sides that simply don't belong at this level. We've seen some predictable massacres already: Germany 7-1 Curacao, Canada 6-0 Qatar. Neutral fans don't want to waste three hours watching some random minnows getting absolutely obliterated while the real football happens in the later stages. We want competitive football, tactical depth, and genuine drama, not charity games. Some of these teams are so bad they might as well be a Sunday league pub team XI. Worse still, these lopsided results distort individual accolades. A Canadian striker bags a hat-trick against feeble opposition and suddenly his stats look inflated enough to compete with the game’s true greats. It cheapens the Ballon d’Or and every serious achievement in the sport. I’d much rather see proven European nations with GREAT football traditions such as Italy, Poland, Greece etc. earning their place through genuine qualifying battles than watch these quota teams embarrass themselves on the biggest stage. This bloated format in the name of inclusivity is diluting the World Cup’s prestige. FIFA thinks "Africa needs three more spots" or "let's throw CONCACAF another bone" and in the end? Great European and South American teams get excluded and the overall quality of the tournament just drops. The DEI racket ruins EVERYTHING.

@drewfanacc @USACFC_ Hahaha thanks bro you too! Hopefully next season is our year.

@aStrayBullet10 @USACFC_ Dude you’re awesome

The Aussies low key hate us so much. They have so much contempt for Americans and the USA.

@rolling_0range @USACFC_ What

@aStrayBullet10 @USACFC_ You’re not UK bro

@rjh9aer @USACFC_ Nobody’s saying that. Only the media drumming up outrage.

@aStrayBullet10 @USACFC_ Forced trying to accuse us of disrespecting you. That’s what is lame as hell.

@drewfanacc @USACFC_ Pacers. But I got a Hoosiers jersey as well, gotta rep the home of basketball.

@aStrayBullet10 @USACFC_ The college or the pacers bro

@propfella2002 @USACFC_ You cunts actually believe that we view you like some big brother lmao

@aStrayBullet10 @USACFC_ its not banter you genuinely have little brother syndrome

@drewfanacc @USACFC_ Hell yeah man for 20 years

@aStrayBullet10 @USACFC_ Indiana?

@Backwoodsherpa @USACFC_

@aStrayBullet10 @USACFC_ Can't understand you mate

@alex_westry Why do Americans think they know everything after watching for 1 week

South Korea isn't a team that will go far at the World Cup and I think they've been overhyped. Not a good team. Mexico hasn't been impressive in their World Cup matches but they got a lucky break from the South Korean GK who had a terrible mistake and Mexico capitalized on it.

@_Daniel_M_11 @rmadashing Incorrect, we outgrew Oceania, and to prove it to fifa we beat American Samoa 31-0

@rmadashing Because the winners of Oceania had to go through another intercontinental round, which makes qualification harder

@Reuters How? 1 machine requires 5 seperate flights to be relocated. There’s no way 1 made its way to China.

US tells ASML it's concerned one of its chipmaking tools may be in China, Bloomberg News reports reut.rs/4oznOKV reut.rs/4oznOKV

@BBSIV_ @superfan1623 Yeah if you don’t understand what you’re looking at

@superfan1623 Dude. That 1st half was bad!

This “match” is why nobody in the US watches soccer #Mexico #Korea #WorldCup

@CokeSipper Facts

Big issue at this World Cup has been the camera cuts to celebrities and American athletes instead of crowd shots of baddies from around the world

@USMNTvsHaters He wants to win so stick it up his American teammates who are telling him he’s gonna lose. How is that hilarious?

Australia is hilarious man 🤣🤣🤣

@11Yanks @MLShater Don’t listen to this grifter, that clip was from weeks ago and wasn’t directed at any nation.

@MLShater Sure. But it's not the same thing. He's talking about his ability as a goalkeeper and that no one is going to score on him. That is not the same thing as going out and calling an opponent a "lay-up" and "the weakest team" and basically shooting all over them.

Rule No. 1 in ⚽️ You don't go out and disrespect your opponent before a game. You just don't. Its stupid and its bad sportsmanship and you're just giving them that extra 1%. We may go out and beat Australia but Mike Grella is stupid for saying what he said.

@EvanKurd25 Piss off cunt you’re the most negative cunt on this app and that’s saying something.

South Korea playing with zero pride or care. Sad game, no care in the world to score down 1-0. Jogging up and down the field. I thought the Koreans were noble? This the most un noble performance I’ve seen. They deserve to be knocked out of the group after this

@ChelseaFCSkye As an Australian I agree, we will kick the living shit out of Pulisic, you should definitely rest him.

Be honest guys, Australia likes kicking players, so do we really want Pulisic on the pitch? Remember they are how he got injured last year.
