@KayceSmith World football>American football.

The World Cup was absolutely awesome. Americans as a whole gained way more respect for soccer and the tourists who visited gained more respect for America. And most importantly… it filled our sports void before football season.

@AndyatAuto Those ticket prices made it the game of the rich and entitled.

Football is the game of the people. It can be played in the streets of Buenos Aires, Lagos, Leeds or Lisbon with nothing more than a stone for a ball and jumpers for goalposts. It is the ultimate team game because it belongs to everyone. Tonight’s World Cup final should have been a celebration of the beautiful game. Instead, it feels increasingly wrapped in razzmatazz: Robbie Williams and Tom Cruise, 30-minute half-time entertainment, hydration breaks, political interventions and ever more entertainment. Football doesn’t need to become American football (and I love America Football). FIFA’s job is to protect the game, not reinvent it. The beautiful game deserves better. @FIFA is no longer fit to be its steward and I hope @UEFA and the @FA will initiate a change.

@Ma_WuKong I would say they could translate that style to rugby, but they suck at that sport too.

🇦🇷 Alguien ha hecho un resumen de 13 minutos con todas las acciones sucias de los argentinos en la final. Vídeo de jugar al fútbol no hay, eso sí.

@grluci Any team that plays against Argentina get my support. They are a disgrace to the beautiful game.

Los fans argentinos están satisfechos y agradecidos con su selección, felicitan a España, campeona, y aplauden el partido que hicieron Mientras tanto, los que ven fútbol cada 4 años y se comieron la campaña anti Messi, están felices simplemente porque Argentina perdió Ridículos

@talkSPORT After that performance, Argentina should have left the field. They didn't deserve to be there.

Argentina branded 'classless' after turning backs on Spain World Cup trophy presentation #Echobox=1784503443" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">talksport.com/football/world…

Now half of Americans will forget world football exists.

Amazing job #Spain !!!

@gkittle46 @NFL You lads need to fight harder for natural grass.

Grass looks great at MetLife! Can we keep it that way @NFL ?? Would appreciate it thanks

@OfficialVizeh The things the Yanks do....

I can’t take any of this pre-match show shit seriously Fuck am I watching Tom Cruise do a monologue 10 minutes before a World Cup Final

@OfficialVizeh Players are ready to go on break and back to their clubs where the real fun exists.

There’s something off about the fans and atmosphere for a World Cup Final man Everything feels like it’s a elaborate Pre-Season Tournament

Everyone ready to see what lengths #FIFA will go to help Argentina win? Dumpy Trump will even be there to make sure it happens. Going to be more entertaining than an episode of Temptation Island. #GoSpain

@SkySportsNews Welcome home. Enjoy a much deserved break.

England players have landed at Birmingham Airport after their World Cup came to an end following their 6-4 third place play-off victory over France last night 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@4sec7 Agreed.

The World Cup should never be held on American soil again. Presidential interferences in red cards and other rules of the game are unacceptable

@courtsidemenace Mexico has some of the best fans.

I am soooooo impressed with Mexico after seeing England make France their bitch Oh my gods

@Marseji17 I am with you. Go Spain!

Hay que ser agradecida con todos ellos.sois muy grandes 🙏🫶🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦

@benno_nagel This is a terrible take.

The fact that American soccer is largely run by leftists is easily the single largest reason why soccer in America will never be able to connect with the mainstream American sports fan.

@chimaobi_saint Do i think 3rd place matches should be played? Absolutely not. Should the stats count? If they play the game, the stats should count.

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović: 🗣️ "Third-place playoff goals shouldn't be included in World Cup statistics." 🗣️ "It's unfair on players who reach the final. Someone can miss out on the Golden Boot simply because another player had an extra game to score in the third-place match." Do you agree with Zlatan, or should every World Cup match count equally? 🤔

@vflSaun @NashvilleSC I would encourage you to watch the Premier League when it starts. Much better quality and pace.

The world cup has inspired me to get interested in MLS and naturally gotta go with the home state team @NashvilleSC

@Mahreeuhh_ Same here.

This is probably the first World Cup where I’m not excited about the final

@UKUSgrif1on Another example of the Trump administration thinking they are above the rules. Remember when NFL players were protesting during the National Anthem and how Trump acted?? This administration is a massive joke.

Spain, get that fucking second star. Fuck these Argies over.
