@Jacobtheclipper People complaining and saying "this is why American's will never really care" like we don't have equally dumb shit that happens in our sports....
So if the ball is in the air you can just run into the foot of a player just winding up to kick it and you get a penalty?!
This sport is a JOKE and why us Americans will never really care about it. We don’t reward stupid tactics like this ✌️
@TheLaikYobaz I’m not sure you can possibly rig a soccer tournament for one team to run the table… by allowing a singular player to play in a game he should have never been suspended for in the first place
FIFA, ABD'nin Bosna Hersek ile oynadığı maçta kırmızı kart gören Balogun'un cezasını erteledi.
Balogun, Belçika karşılaşmasında oynayacak.
ABD'yi zorla final oynatacaklar...
The Fourth of July game in THE SANDLOT (1993) is pure movie magic.
Kids playing baseball beneath a sky full of fireworks. One of the most iconic summer scenes ever put on film.
The Balogun red card debacle + VAR nightmares are perfect examples as to why the vast majority of Americans don’t, and will never, jump on the soccer bandwagon.
The modern game is the most-frustrating sport in the world, and it’s not close.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND: FIRST, how was Croatia allowed to score the potentially tying goal with beyond the allotted 10+ minutes of stoppage time??? Do refs just guess or let the trailing team have 1 more possession? Insane time-keeping.
@ShaunJay@tommyreamon It should apply. Resources are the biggest factor just like anything else in America. Money matters. In my area they call them “charter” schools where they get to act private and select who goes there but get public funding
@11bigcat@tommyreamon I hear you but also, how does this not also apply to different public schools with different tax bases? Are the resources not also different? I can think of Newton MA vs Boston public schools.
If you believe a private school “steals” players from public schools, you’re looking at the issue the wrong way.
Families make decisions they believe are best for their children. Coaches don’t own athletes. Schools don’t own athletes.
Instead of blaming other programs, focus on building a program that players want to be a part of.
That’s how you win.
@tommyreamon Yes. Just saying “be better so people will come to you” is not realistic. The resources at a private school versus a public school is not comparable and “be better” doesn’t realistically fix that.
