You don’t see Soccer fans getting their nose put out by the popularity of USA sports.
I think that’s telling.
Wars over, soccer won.
It’s only a matter of time till it’s number 1 in the USA.
A major reason soccer will never supplant America’s core professional sports is because we value physical bravery above all other attributes in our sports stars.
Curt Schilling’s bloody sock.
Ronnie Lott chopping off the tip of his finger so he could stay in the game.
Mark Bavaro dragging half the 49ers’ secondary while his broken jaw was wired shut.
Michael Jordan having the best game of his life with a 103 degree fever.
Willis Reed limping onto the floor for Game 7.
Lou Gehrig playing with ALS until his body said “no more.”
Dave Dravecky pitching so hard that his arm had to be amputated.
Kirk Gibson hobbling to the plate in the 9th.
Tiger Woods winning the US Open on a knee that days later required reconstructive surgery.
Kerri Strug sticking the landing on her busted ankle for the gold.
Sure, we have our LeBron Jameses acting like little babies, but the one thing I learned about futbol during the World Cup is that acting like a little injured baby is not only not frowned upon, it is ENCOURAGED as a strategic advantage.
Americans want stoic heroes who persevere through pain. Soccer ain’t that, at least not in the day-to-day elements of the game.
That’s why soccer will never be anything other than second-rate in the USA.

🤢 "Makes me vomit!"
😡 "Reducing the tournament to that... I felt physically ill!"
It's safe to say Jeff Stelling wasn't keen on the World Cup pre-match and half-time entertainment! 👀🤦♂️

No chance, it’s goose green, harriers, Simon Weston, paras, marines, port Stanley, Vulcan bombers and the Belgrano.
The only other inches should for that cheating bastard Maradona.

Currently the Clacton By-election appears to be a choice between
A) a novelty act with no real policies
B) Count Binface.

I once managed to persuade people on minimum wage to vote for me after telling them I’d be ending the minimum wage if I was elected.
The vuvuzelas were annoying
The winners were boring
The ball was terrible hardly any good goals
South Africa’s contribution to world football consisted of Stanley Mathews going on holiday there once
The Ecuador manager looks like the guy who starved to death in the movie Seven

Why take a swipe at Carrick?
It’s a short list ffs!
More childish behaviour from Stan
Manager of the Season.
Manage 15 games at a Manchester United that's spent another trillion ,come on in, your name's on the list.
Manage 3 seasons at Villa, 3 semi finals, 1 final, 2 Champions League qualifications using half a dozen players who played in the Championship, you can't come in.
A decision so laughable that when someday Unai is nominated, I hope he tells them to fuck off.
A mockery of what achievement versus caretaking is.

The 2 worst things about Fabricant

2 people actually believing that the ridiculous wig is the worst thing about him.
