@SteveJackman @SteveJackman great futbol mind

how many England players would make the Spanish XI. 3 or 4? Kane, Bellingham, possibly Rice/Saka

It’s not an Argentina lead without some fake injuries

@coachpoppavic @EBL2017 Mannn take your winnings and run haha

@EBL2017 Pls no paywall for this one

Alright… Time to lock in. Analysis out first thing tomorrow morning. I had a feeling there would be some ‘bomba’ news with no World Cup today.

@DonteStallworth CHELSEA BLUE WHAT IT DO

It’s time, I need to pick a Premier League team! I’ve been locked into the World Cup since I was drafted in ‘02 and the global games from Copa to Euros to AFCON for over a decade Narrowed it down to: Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, or Man Utd. Who should I choose & why?

@AssalRad @SaulWilliams You sound like you paint things as racist as possible. Check yourself

People are upset about the World Cup because instead of bringing the world together it’s another reminder of how unjust the world is. It’s not a conspiracy. A Somali referee was denied entry to the U.S., that’s a fact. The U.S. tried to swap Iran for Italy, and then mistreated the team, that’s a fact. The U.S. president made a call to reverse a red card for an American player, that’s a fact… From discrimination and over-priced tickets, to commercial breaks and VAR issues, many people who have watched and enjoyed the World Cup since childhood are more than disappointed. The whole tournament was tainted from the beginning, starting with a fake peace prize to gratify the host country.

@United_Africana Easy bruv… Reta, cjc, ipa and tesamorelin. Stop wasting time

Gym rats. Whats the best supplement to burn the lower belly fat? I’m tired

@TheSammahmood_ @coachpoppavic interesting take 🇺🇸

The U.S. soccer federation is a poor return on invested capital. I played soccer for 20+ years. Grassroots. Academy. D1 college. Pursued professionally after. And I’ll say the quiet part out loud: The US soccer infrastructure is broken. In America, we treat playing D1 soccer like it is the peak achievement. For most families, clubs, coaches, and players, the entire youth soccer machine is built around one goal: Get recruited. Get a scholarship. Play college soccer. But if the objective is to produce world-class players, D1 soccer is a terrible development path. From 18-22, some of the most important technical development years of your career, you are preparing for a 3-4 month season built largely around athleticism, direct play, set pieces, fitness, and survival. Now compare that to an 18-year-old in Spain, Argentina, Morocco, Italy, England, or France. That player has likely been in a professional environment for years. Training daily. Playing meaningful matches year-round. Competing against grown professionals. Getting thousands more touches. Learning how to solve the game under pressure. The gap is massive. And it shows. American players are usually athletic. They are usually fit. They usually compete hard. But at the highest levels, that is not enough. The biggest difference is technical comfort. We do not move the ball like Spain. We do not combine like Argentina. We do not play with the same fluidity, rhythm, and confidence you see from countries where the game is embedded into the culture from childhood. That comes down to volume. Volume of touches. Volume of street soccer. Volume of futsal. Volume of unstructured play. Volume of high-level training environments. Volume of meaningful games. In the US, youth soccer is expensive, overly organized, overly coached, tournament-driven, and too often built around winning games at 13 instead of developing players for 23. Parents spend thousands. Clubs charge thousands. Travel teams fly all over the country. Showcases become the product. Recruiting becomes the scoreboard. But the return on invested capital is poor. We probably spend more money on youth soccer than almost any country in the world, yet the technical output does not match the investment. That is a broken operating model. And like any business, if the output is weak, you do not blame the customer. You inspect the system. The US has talent. The US has athletes. The US has money. The US has facilities. But the foundation is wrong. We built a pay-to-play, college-recruiting machine and confused it for a world-class player development system. Those are not the same thing. Until we fix the grassroots layer, increase meaningful touches, make development less dependent on family income, and stop treating college soccer as the top of the mountain, the US will keep underperforming relative to its resources. I’m not saying this to trash US Soccer. I’m saying it because I lived it. And if we actually want to become a powerhouse, we have to be honest about the infrastructure first.

@BuschLitePapi44 CHELSEA BLUE 💙

After the World Cup is over, what are some clubs I should follow?! This soccer (futbol) thing is quite fun. I’m a new dedicated fan!

bring me the tears of the racist Argentinians inshallah tonight we dance

We haven't seen an outclassing at home like that in world cup since Brazil Germany

MLS goalie and MLS defense both with some dreadful moments for USA tonight, tough look

belgium b squad bossing around this usa defense

@farokh @coachpoppavic 📈

The stats about the Azteca Stadium are insane. It’s located 7200 feet above sea level. The Eiffel Tower sits at 1000 feet, Burj Khalifa at 2700 feet. Playing 90 minutes at the Azteca is like playing at the top of Machu Pichu! 🤯

im so glad we got to see Alphonso Davies play 17 meaningless minutes against South Africa that was sick, elite, awesome.

It's already the best world cup in the past 20 years

Argentina shithousery is unmatched, masters of the shadow arts. Already 3 fake injuries since they took the lead 🤣🤣🤣

Sidny Lopes Cabral of Cabo Verde with the goal of the tournament

If you’re new to soccer, yes that was a red card on USA regardless of player intent. The rules don’t apply to Messi and they haven’t for about 6 years. You’re caught up
