@zachbollinger18 Its kinda like how guys with giant trucks have tiny dicks. But with billionaires instead

“The American stadiums are absolutely insane. How do they have so many giant ones?”
Listen. As Americans we get competitive about things that don’t matter like stadium size. Each new one is bigger and better than the previous.
We mess around a lot… but not with stadiums.

@MikeyHotspurs Still need to fix the front 3 of this doesn't mean much

RATING SPURS SIGNINGS SO FAR
ANDREW ROBERTSON 8/10
He will give the squad a much needed boost. He’s a leader and at 32 still has lots of football left to play
MARCO SENESI 9/10
One of the best centre backs in the league, fantastic with the ball at his feet and can defend well. Oh and let’s not forget we got him on a free
JAN PAUL VAN HECKE 10/10
One of the best ball playing defenders in the world, very good in the air and still not even in his prime. He will go on to be a massive player for Spurs. Bargain at £52 million
TOP TRANSFER WINDOW SO FAR

@Moodak Nothing new, both tottenham and real madrid have similar systems, Madrid is actually insane they can have their grass pitch underneath the concrete slab and keep it watered and growing
English
Wait until the Europeans learn that the grass in Arizona is on a giant track system and can exist both inside and outside

we were lied to about the united states

@jmhorp And they were 4 of the best games of the tournament so far

All four World Cup games today are going to be draws. I enjoy soccer, but this is clearly one of the reasons many Americans are bored by this sport.
English
@Broncos4six Dude the world cup is on, best event in sports. This is the best month of the year
English
@WelBeast Watch 8-9 NFL games per year in them, some do multiple sports but not many, most have some concerts during the year

@matthewdmarsden Actually, it's because they support and donate to groups that advocate for the use of conversion therapy. Something that has been banned all over the world. Also Popeyes is better anyway

To all the Brits trying chick fil a for the first time and realizing how awesome it is…the reason you don’t have it in the UK is because the alphabet mafia protested it because the owners are Christian.
The tolerant left. Well done.

Former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger on the Ravens
I think they’re falling apart. I don’t think they’re the same team...They just feel different. They feel like their window closed...To me, losing Harbaugh, King Henry’s a year older, his body’s taking a beating, what’s was going on with Lamar last year? He just didn’t seem like the Lamar that we’ve been used to seeing"
English
@Michaelfiore I didn't find your post triggering, you pointed out the places FIFA has gone because of backroom deals. Any western European country could easily hold a world cup with almost zero major investment.

@BryanJMachi @gustav0cardenas Finding another 5 host cities would not have been a problem. Baltimore, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Phoenix, any of 3 spots in Ohio,

@gustav0cardenas Falta considerar que estados unidos tienen menos sedes por el tema de ser un mundial compartido... Así que la carga era menor también
Español
Lo más impresionante del Mundial en Estados Unidos es que no tuvieron que hacer prácticamente nada para recibirlo.
Catar levantó estadios desde cero, construyó un metro completo, rediseñó carreteras, hoteles y barrios enteros, inclusive cuando terminó el evento dijeron que iban a regalar un estadio porque les sobraba.
Sudáfrica tuvo que erigir estadios nuevos, estacionamientos y obras masivas, fue una inversión multi millonaria que abarcó parte de su PBI.
Brasil quemó miles de millones en infraestructura y terminó con un presidente preso por corrupción (Lula), al final todavía estaban las obras cuando comenzó el evento.
Rusia remodeló medio país para estar a la altura, y aún así se veían las deficiencias de infraestructura como de transporte y otros.
¿Y Estados Unidos?
Cambió el césped en algunos estadios. Punto. Nada más. Nada de megaproyectos, nada de obras faraónicas, nada de “reinventar” ciudades.
Y esto pasa porque cuando ya tienes infraestructura de primer mundo, el Mundial no es un problema sino que es un trámite.
Español
Those advert breaks really kill the momentum and rhythm of games. The football was good, but three minutes of being pitched washing machines and hoovers rather ruined the vibe.
English
@xAlexTHFC The Azteca is a 1 of a kind place. None of the US stadiums have anything like that atmosphere.
English
We may have lost the stadium debate with North America ngl

@owenthfc__ All the US stadiums are NFL stadiums, those fans only need to be loud for 15-25 seconds at a time, and the noise is just from total people. There are only a handful that truly have any feel of an English football ground.
English
Mainly because of the stadiums. I think the US has some really nice looking stadiums that will suit the aesthetics of a World Cup. Don't get me wrong they're not great when it comes to club football, they're hardly intimidating. But for a setting like the World Cup where it's meant to feel festive, I think they go hand in hand
English
@liabinkin No but they could do 11am which is much better than 3pm for the first game of the day
English
Some of you can’t go one day without complaining
“There’s no football being played during the day.”
Maybe because it’s 7:00 a.m. on the East Coast, and you still have the West Coast, which is three hours behind that.
Why would matches be scheduled around your local time? Do you expect players to be kicking off at 7:00 a.m. local time just so it lines up better for you?
That’s not how international football works.
English
@CanMNTonly Exactly! Absolutely have to smash Qatar, Swiss didn't look great today Bosnia could upset them
English
The goal isn’t advancing! If you can’t beat Qatar you don’t deserve to advance. The goal is winning the group and playing knockout matches in Canada. #CanMNT
Faizal Khamisa@FaizalKhamisa
I actually agree with this, and made this point this morning. A draw is likely the worst result for Canada in terms of advancing in general. If the goal is to win the group, then it's ok, but Canada has Switzerland last, and that's a risk if you don't pick up all 3 on Thursday.
English
@FootballInT80s I live in canada and even I find these kick off times terrible. The last game doesn't start till 10pm my time. Which is midnight on the east coast where most people live.
English
There’s a lot of discourse around the kick-off times in this World Cup.
We all knew it was being held in the US, in a different time zone, didn’t we?
Were the kick-off times the same in 1994, or, because England weren’t there, did we simply not notice?
Or do people just enjoy finding something to be outraged by in the age of social media?
English
@The1TrueMark @westhamfan86 They also didn't cut away for ads during those ones
English
@westhamfan86 The drinks breaks were also at the last world cup, did you complain then?
English
5 seconds to take a throw in
8 seconds to take a goal kick
10 seconds to make a sub
3 minutes to have a drink of water
Make it make sense please.
I get needing a drink in this heat but these are professional athletes. A minute should be plenty.
But no FIFA have to allow the US time for an advert.
English
Game 3
Bosnia: played against Canada like they were a big European opponent, would’ve loved to see them get on the front foot more, ridiculous defense though to secure a point
Canada: first-ever point at a World Cup and it feels like 2 dropped, really good display without two of their best players, need to start another scorer with David next time because Promise David and Larin looked very dangerous
English
@aylwardCA @HantsTaylor @CANMNT_Official @GE_Appliances I dont think either of us need to eat our words. Larin did what he normally does. He did have more energy than JD did but neither was honestly great.
English
@wcramone @HantsTaylor @CANMNT_Official @GE_Appliances Well I will happily eat my words. Well done 👏 young man.
