Okay, since you asked, here’s my American opinion. Soccer will never be as popular in America as football for 3 reasons: 1. The Fake Injuries Players are incentivized to flop because the other team is more likely to get a penalty. In football, it is the opposite. If a player has a real injury, play toughs it out and plays through it, it is seen as heroic. Americans like toughness and grit. 2. Chance Goals Many goals are scored by chance as opposed to skill. The chaos at the net when the ball is near is remarkable. Defenders blocking the goalie’s line of sight. The ball bouncing and ricocheting off of random body parts often determines if the ball goes in the net or out of bounds. In football, there are some elements of chance, but because players are allowed to use their hands, the points are primarily scored based on skill. Less is left to chance. Americans like control. 3. Low Scoring In football, it is still challenging to score, but it happens much more often. Also, every play has a chance for gratification and excitement: a first down, a big catch, a big hit, a sack, an interception, etc American like constant excitement.

@Bitcoin_Teddy Always amazed me how the US has built such a vast fleet and totally overlooked minesweepers.

President Trump: “You have to remember, we have 45,000 troops in Japan, 45,000 in South Korea, and 50,000 in Germany.” We defend all these countries, and then I ask them: “Do you have any minesweepers?” They say, “Well, would it be possible for us not to get involved?”

Did you know that every team in the World Cup has at least a black player except one? Guess the country.

Very proud moment for me and Amanda yesterday. Jack’s passing out parade was just outstanding after his 10 weeks basic training. Now serving in the Royal Navy. A fantastic achievement for everyone involved. Well Done! ❤️

.@jlbkl That would be a tremendous answer if I had ever said (or thought) 'If it wasn't for the Americans we would all be speaking German". But I haven't. I've said that from June 1940 to June 1944, the British Army was not engaged against the main body of the enemy. This is a fact.
Sir Nigel Gresley@JLBKL

Just to clarify the numbers for accuracy. In May 1943 the Axis forces in North Africa numbering 250,000 to 275,000 men surrendered at cape Bon to the Allies. Three key battles occurred in 1942/43 - Alemein, Stalingrad and the Battle of the Atlantic. After these three it was clear that Germany had lost the war. The greater number of troops were engaged on the Eastern Front and the greater number of German troops were killed wounded and captured on that Front. Barbarossa was thrown off balance by the Balkan and Greek campaigns which included British and commonwealth troops who were sent from North Africa to bolster local forces. This campaign delayed Barbarossa by 5 to 6 weeks which proved decisive as it forced the campaign into the bitter winter without the Germans having planned to fight a winter war. Equally the British supplied Russia with essential supplies in particular machine tools which helped install the manufacturing in the Urals which made the vast amounts of equipment needed to win the war. It was a team effort with many countries doing their bit. The idea that "if it wasn't for the Americans we would all be speaking German" is nonsense. Germany was already defeated by the time their troops arrived in North Africa in November 1942. Equally without British and American aid Russia would have been over run in 1942. Without US aid Britain would have starved and if Churchill sued for peace in 1940 after Dunkirk America would have been forced out of the war by a joint Japanese German onslaught in 1941. Everyone did their bit, that's why we were called the Allies.

@ClarkeMicah @KevinTrainor33 Talking bollocks again. At the start of WW2 the RN had 164 destroyers. 39 were engaged in the Dunkirk evacuation and 6 were sunk. The RN was still the largest navy in the world and far from being a defensive force.

.@kevintrainor33. In 1940, the very small British Army had lost all its equipment in France. The RAF and the Navy (v.short of vital destroyers after Dunkirk ) were defensive forces. Crucially, we had no money left.
Kevintrainor92@KevinTrainor33

@igon_value @unherd @ClarkeMicah Largest navy in the world. Fully intact airforce. 95% of its army ready to fight with more training. Entire empire hasn't even arrived yet. Zero british territory taken. In what way was britain crushed and defeated?

@narindertweets You obviously don’t have a clue about how Northern Ireland works and the people who live there. But lest face it other than your racist click bait crap you don’t have a clue about much if anything.

They set a bus on fire in Belfast. Scum. Black and brown folk probably sat locked up in their homes petrified to leave! This is all down to Farage and Yaxley Lennon.

Nigel Farage is trying to exploit Henry Nowak’s murder to divide people – exactly what Henry’s father asked us not to do. We need a different kind of politics that brings people together to stop knife crime.

Black men have a much higher risk of getting prostate cancer. It's unwise to test white men at the same rate due to false positives leading to overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. Could you please, for one fucking day, give it a rest?

On the day the whole political establishment claims we do not live in a two tier country, they announce this. Note, the NHS makes NO drugs available exclusively to white people.

1/ The rise in the price cap because of a war we did not choose is deeply unwelcome news for households across the country. We know people were under pressure before this crisis, and that’s why easing that burden is our number one priority.

Only 34% of the public are now opposed to rejoining the EU. The Brexit fantasy is collapsing under the weight of reality - lost trade, higher costs, staff shortages and lower growth. People were sold slogans. Now they’re paying the bill. 66% say they would prefer to rejoin 🇪🇺
