@connFUT Happy days for those of us who prefer our teams to be full of icons / players we’ve enjoyed watching growing up. I’m not good enough to worry about the meta.

The Greats of the Game Icons are crazy cheap but what do you think the reason is?🤔 Is it just because it’s June and close to end game? Is it because of the high drop rate? Or is it just because most of these cards aren’t super ‘meta’?😅

@Gbemiga__A “Let me list for you the reasons I don’t think soccer will ever take off in the US…” Please, don’t.

Worst thing about this World Cup is hearing football opinions from Americans

@HistoryWJacob You guys are really fucking weird. Always sharing your opinions about things you clearly don’t understand. For whose benefit, who do you imagine cares to hear this? Also, it’s the exact same shit I’ve read 1000 times already over the past week or so, pretty much verbatim.

Okay, since you asked, here’s my American opinion. Soccer will never be as popular in America as football for 3 reasons: 1. The Fake Injuries Players are incentivized to flop because the other team is more likely to get a penalty. In football, it is the opposite. If a player has a real injury, play toughs it out and plays through it, it is seen as heroic. Americans like toughness and grit. 2. Chance Goals Many goals are scored by chance as opposed to skill. The chaos at the net when the ball is near is remarkable. Defenders blocking the goalie’s line of sight. The ball bouncing and ricocheting off of random body parts often determines if the ball goes in the net or out of bounds. In football, there are some elements of chance, but because players are allowed to use their hands, the points are primarily scored based on skill. Less is left to chance. Americans like control. 3. Low Scoring In football, it is still challenging to score, but it happens much more often. Also, every play has a chance for gratification and excitement: a first down, a big catch, a big hit, a sack, an interception, etc American like constant excitement.

@HankTrooper @lordwithnail @FittieSmalls You’re just being silly now, aren’t you Ron? Because you understand fully well that this isn’t a seeding.

@BigRedGreybeard @lordwithnail @FittieSmalls Looks like US is seeded #2 in the round of 32 ….

Is the US soccer team actually good or is this a fluke 🤔

@MN_Scandi @kdmm1000 @WallStreetMav Yeah, we put those ones in prison already. That figured it out. You got anything else, or shall we talk about your career criminal, child-raping President?

@BigRedGreybeard @kdmm1000 @WallStreetMav They are the second largest non-euro group in england and make up most of your grooming gangs. Not thick. Just informed. I do hope you guys get that figured out but you'll have to start viewing it like a war.

Imagine all the crying if the USA actually took Soccer seriously and dominated it like we do everything else. Europe, Brazil and Argentina just wouldn't be able to handle it.

@JoachimMur21225 @kdmm1000 @WallStreetMav Do I sound like a fag lmao? You don’t sound like anything, you just are a thick racist, bigoted cunt. Lmao.

@BigRedGreybeard @kdmm1000 @WallStreetMav You're right I don't care which muslims are overrunning your depressing island prison. "Pakastanis are so passé. Don't you know somalians are in right now?" You sound like a fag lmao

@MN_Scandi @kdmm1000 @WallStreetMav Another one with the Pakistani shit. You guys can’t even get the right nationality. Thick as mince.

@BigRedGreybeard @kdmm1000 @WallStreetMav Maybe if the brits understood that concept, they wouldnt be dominated by Pakistani's. The world understands power. The lion eats the sheep.

@JoachimMur21225 @kdmm1000 @WallStreetMav Hmm, did I talk to you last week on another account? Or was that some other muppet obsessed with Pakistanis? It’s so out of date, the immigrants that have dickheads aerated these days aren’t from Pakistan. Not that you care. Dickhead.

@BigRedGreybeard @kdmm1000 @WallStreetMav Its why we're the best and you're relegated to a dreary rock full of pakistanis

@yocalebbb You misspelled “fatter”.

not just athletically better. being born in america you are by default better than everyone else

@Blain_Crain Is there anything more pathetic in 2026 than grown men rage baiting for engagement. I hope the impressions are worth the indignity.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone outside of America: It’s called SOCCER. 🇺🇸⚽️ Football is played with helmets and shoulder pads

@HankTrooper @lordwithnail @FittieSmalls Ok. Still happily play you.

@BigRedGreybeard @lordwithnail @FittieSmalls England has never beaten the United States in a competitive World Cup match. Their historic tournament meetings have resulted in a famous 1-0 U.S. upset in 1950, a 1-1 draw in 2010, and a 0-0 stalemate during the 2022 group stage in Qatar.

@HankTrooper @lordwithnail @FittieSmalls Did you have to Google those names 🤣 It’s Sir David Beckham these days as well, if you insist on the honorifics. I guess we’ll have to make do with Kane, Bellingham, and Rice - three of the best players in the world. You’ll never sing that.

@BigRedGreybeard @lordwithnail @FittieSmalls Sir Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, Gordon Banks, and David Beckham are no longer playing for England. Be careful what you wish for.

@3YearLetterman Best at ragebait, I’ll give you that.

The British are in shambles that America now is the best in the world at soccer

@kdmm1000 @WallStreetMav Hear fucking hear. It’s telling how many of these tweets (and there’s a lot of them) feature the word “dominate”. Not participate, not enjoy, dominate. The American psyche won’t accept anything less. Children.

‘Like we do everything else’? Rest of the world doesn’t play baseball or American Football USA compete at the top in Athletics & Basketball no doubt but you don’t dominate F1, Cricket, Rugby, Tennis, Golf etc Americans are notoriously bad losers & some can’t handle being very mid at the worlds biggest game & all we hear are excuses, just accept you can’t be top dog at everything

@comentodetod @speedlinexx It is striking how many US stadiums (undoubtedly impressive though they are), do seem to be “if you build it, they will come”, while most Europeans ones are “we had to build it, because they were already there”.

@speedlinexx Imagine when people realize these air conditioned malls are located in the middle of huge parking lots in the middle of nowhere, or close to industrial locations, huge highways, etc… 🤦🏻😂😂😂😂

USA is already living in 2050 man, just look at the stadium. Meanwhile i get to see rats and water leaking at old Trafford

@iDodgrMike @FittieSmalls Wouldn’t be surprised to see the US make the quarterfinals, would be very surprised if they went any further than that.

@FittieSmalls I think we’ll find out in the next round. I don’t know enough about them to say they’re this good but they are ranked 17th overall in the world and this was their best first round performance in nearly 100 years according to some experts.

@HankTrooper @lordwithnail @FittieSmalls We’d quite happily play you.

@lordwithnail @FittieSmalls No country wants to play the US at this point. The U.S. is like a giant boulder rolling down a hill. All you can do is watch in amazement and get out of the way.

@Grif_GWDI_NFTs @cbwritescopy The explosive athleticism required for US sports would be a liability on a football pitch. The fact that you guys keep repeating this nonsense shows that you still have zero clue about football.

@cbwritescopy This hit me today. In the US any kid with athleticism is playing football, baseball, basketball, or wrestiling... if we embraced soccer it would be a 100 year dynasty... it is probably good for the world that we arent that into it.

The United States will be the best soccer team in the world in 8 years Every kid in the states is watching the World Cup and picking up a soccer ball after this tournament

@AndyWallsQ @cbwritescopy The US team of 2026 is the culmination of the uptick in interest in the game from 1994. 8 years? Try 800 chief.

@cbwritescopy 340M+ people. Massive resources. Elite facilities. The U.S. could become the Brazil + Argentina + Germany + France of world football, all rolled into one. All it takes: • 1–2 World Cup final appearances • MLS becoming a top-5 league Then they're contenders every cycle.

@secnumbersguy Bait.

The cool thing about being an American is we are blowing the world’s mind hosting a World Cup that we collectively don’t care about and did nothing to prepare for while our team whoops every country they come across. Oh, and soccer is like the 10th most popular sport in America. 🇺🇸
