@m00nly2 @usmntonly 1994 World Cup in the USA had the highest attendance of any World Cup, both in overall attendance and average per match. Average Americans love big events, and as ticket and hotel prices drop you’ll see an increase in tickets purchased and booked rooms.

@usmntonly An event in an expensive country will never “sell out” to the global audience, cause the prices are way too high. Unfortunately, it won’t sell out to the American audience either, cause average American doesn’t care enough. FIFA will find this out the hard way, when it’s too late

WILD. Hotels across multiple 2026 FIFA World Cup host cities are reportedly seeing major room cancellations from FIFA itself. According to the AHLA, up to 70% of FIFA-reserved hotel rooms in Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Seattle have been released back into the market. The hotel industry says FIFA’s early block bookings created “artificial demand” that inflated prices and distorted expectations ahead of the tournament. Now, with just weeks until kickoff, some hotels fear the expected World Cup tourism boom may fall short.

@McKiki18 @xmuse_ It helps with constipation 😖💩

@xmuse_ Why eat then?

There's this Japanese food with almost zero calories, made from the konjac root. Called konnyaku, it's a traditional favorite for adding volume and texture to dishes without the extra calories.

@AppleSeedGames @nocontextmemes Because at least in Japanese, everything ends in a vowel, unless it ends with “n” consonant.

@nocontextmemes What is it with Japanese and Chinese that makes them fully incapable of not adding an -a or -du to the end of an English word

@Tommy2Tone @acmilan Someone doesn’t understand the joke…

@acmilan 🤡 Absolutely stupid club every way imaginable.

LeBron James of calcio 😏🇺🇸

@CharitonBeacon And Missouri is crying about this?

And Kansas is bragging about this? 😂

@BroncoRob @MarkPoulose @craigfordtv @KCTV5 @Broncos I hear you too. I have wonderful memories and a lot of heartache from games at Arrowhead. It won’t be the same at the new stadium, but new memories will be made.

@ToddHallier @MarkPoulose @craigfordtv @KCTV5 @Broncos I hear you but it won’t be the same as Arrow Head when Chiefs move in 2031. But I know times change. Still hate it though. I still miss Mile High Stadium but at least @Broncos will hopefully never leave Denver!!

Kelly says the stadium will be surrounded by an entertainment district. Also announces the Chiefs will build a new headquarters and practice facility in Olathe. So — the Chiefs ENTIRE OPERATION is moving across state lines. Monumental day in KC sports history. @KCTV5

@BroncoRob @MarkPoulose @craigfordtv @KCTV5 @Broncos For sure. It’s like 20 miles from Arrowhead in Kansas City MO to the new stadium in Kansas City, KS.

@ToddHallier @MarkPoulose @craigfordtv @KCTV5 @Broncos So will the Chiefs still be called the Kansas City Chiefs in 2031?!?!

@BroncoRob @MarkPoulose @craigfordtv @KCTV5 @Broncos The Chiefs are still in KC. Kansas City KS.

@MarkPoulose @craigfordtv @KCTV5 I hate changing things I grew up with. Raiders belong in Oakland, Chargers in San Diego, and Chiefs in KC. Glad my @Broncos will hopefully never leave Denver!!

FEELING ELITE 🟢⚪️ For the first time ever, we're advancing to the NCAA Quarterfinals!

@superkeeper33 @ManagerTactical Put all 6 in a sprint, a strength competition, or jumping, or whatever, and the Barcelona players are going to finish behind the American guys. Put them on the pitch and they’ll run circles around the Americans. If you want better American players, the culture needs changing.

@ToddHallier @ManagerTactical Quite a selection there. Definitely not bias. You’re also right, Xavi and Iniesta were absolutely horrible athletes. (They were amazing athletes, some of the best)

This is high school soccer in Japan 🇯🇵… In the US 🇺🇸 we struggle to develop technical players and it has nothing to do with our “best athletes” playing other sports. It’s culture and understanding technical development at early ages.

@superkeeper33 @ManagerTactical So you’d say Iniesta, Busquests, Xavi are better athletes than guys like Robinson, Altidore, or Pulisic? Because they are all bigger, stronger, faster, can jump higher than any of those Barcelona guys, who in no way were elite athletes in the American sense (fast, strong, jump).

@ToddHallier @ManagerTactical Yes they were short little midgets. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 they were elite athletes of their countries. Elite.

@superkeeper33 @ManagerTactical The best Barcelona teams were a bunch of short little midgets playing keep away, many of whom weren’t the fastest, strongest or most athletic. LeBron James probably wouldn’t be a great soccer player, along with a lot of other NBA, NFL athletes.

@ManagerTactical Again, it does have something to do with the fact that our best athletes are nowhere near a footy field. World wants black and white. It isn’t.

@SJF_LFC @ManagerTactical It’s not free in Japan (not sure why you bring up China, and whatever model they use in China isn’t working at all). Coaches must be paid, fees must be paid for fields, tournaments, uniforms. Who do you suggest pay for these?

@ManagerTactical Also i bet there is no pay-to-play model in China like there is in the US. Football should be free. The US restricts it's market of players by making parents pay

@therazorpill @ManagerTactical Japan is trash at tournament football? That’s a rotten take.

@ManagerTactical They learned these moves off FIFA. They are trash at tournament football.

@orofinger @ManagerTactical And what has that “winning mentality” and this “South American/ European” combination gotten the USMNT? Surely you can see the difference in quality between Japan and USA, just look at their performances at the last World Cup (there is no comparison).

@ManagerTactical This is typical Japanese soccer that has been coached for years. The result is always the same. Japan never wins anything and has no world class players. Too regimented in their thinking . US combines south American European and American culture ( winning mentality)

@ReyPere38138234 @Ratidoking @MoompyRed @FabrizioRomano Top 2, maybe 3 clubs in Saudi are better than the MLS top clubs. The rest of the Saudi league is hot garbage.

@Ratidoking @MoompyRed @FabrizioRomano MLS is NOT better than Saudi league lmao

🚨🇺🇸 OFFICIAL: Lionel Messi signs new deal at Inter Miami valid until December 2028, confirmed. Verbal agreement reported last week now confirmed as MLS approved all the formal steps. Messi stays at Inter Miami for 3 more years.

@Javi_USMNT @TheBolivianYank @ManagerTactical Well, I can only speak for the Midwest, and growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, the coaches you paid for were all British, and a bunch of them came here in the late ‘70’s and early 80’s. A few coaches were from the Caribbean, but all the pro youth coaches were Brits.

@ToddHallier @TheBolivianYank @ManagerTactical Is that so? Stand corrected if so. I was more using the 90s when we decided that qualifications to WC were important

Japan 🇯🇵 understands technical development and they have been doing it right over the past 25 years. I want to say the USA 🇺🇸 will but the reality is that 🇯🇵 will likely be the first non CONMEBOL/UEFA nation to win the World Cup over the next 20-24 years

@HanLoloFM1 @TheBolivianYank @ManagerTactical The streets aren’t big enough or are too busy in Japan to play, not in their culture to play in the streets. But a lot of their practices are done on fields of dirt with no grass and plenty of small rocks that make the ball bounce funny. Probably helps with their first touch.

@TheBolivianYank @ManagerTactical If they were looking at Brazil they will be playing in the streets, not in the academy. They have copied academys from Netherlands, Spain and Italy

@Javi_USMNT @TheBolivianYank @ManagerTactical We decided to go the England route back in the 1970’s and 1980’s when England did not have the best, or richest, league in the world. The decision was made purely out of language convenience.

@TheBolivianYank @ManagerTactical Agree as the primary reason. We always love looking at England for the game. But i wouldnt put it past them the money aspect. We Americans LOVE money lol

Home regular-season finale - we battled the elements and the Illini for a 5-1 win.
