@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.

@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.

History With Jacob@HistoryWJacob·
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.

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 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 It’s so out of date, the immigrants that have dickheads aerated these days aren’t from Pakistan.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.

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

@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.

@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”.

@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.

@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.

@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.

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. 🇺🇸
