😭😭😭😭😭
Without @Pirlo_official, the bianconeri are toothless vs. @sscnapoli. @Juventusfc's loss is @NYCFC's gain! #JuveNapoli #ForzaNapoliSempre

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.
Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.
Our safety and our thriving are tied together.

English were terrified to go hard on Messi in the penalty box. Tell me it’s not on their mind that any minor touch will be called a PK against them.

This is why it's important to bully American soccer defenders of the status quo and My Little Soccer shills.
You live in a bubble of toxic positivity and shilling of monopolization. American sports fans outside that bubble call out that bullshit quickly.
"You are part of the problem!"
– @KevinFrazier doesn't hold back on Alexi Lalas and U.S. Soccer 😳

🗣 Zinedine Zidane: "Si quieres mucho mi camiseta, te la daré al final del partido..."
🗣 Marco Materazzi: "No, prefiero a tu hermana."

…and this is why we lost. not only is any involvement from Trump in sports instant bad-luck (ask Knicks fans what I mean), but it literally fueled the opposition. That Belgian team came onto the pitch spitting fire and looking for retribution.
Head of the White House World Cup task force, Andrew Giuliani, says the U.S. wanted things to be fair on the pitch "especially when you consider all the federal dollars we laid out for this" when discussing Balogun's suspended suspension.
“We did that. You had that red card, which never should have been administered, reversed. And we stand by the actions that we took.”

Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely

let me tell you a quick tale of trying to play soccer with some friends in US of A...
there was an open field. we went with a ball to kick around...
we were kicked off because we didn't "rent" the field - which as $200 for an hour.
so the field sat there all day unused.

aaaaaaaaand THAT attitude from the "old guard" of US soccer is why the round of 16 is our ceiling
"who's gonna pay for all this free soccer?" is about the dumbest response to all this that I've seen... not shocked it comes from Alexi Lalas

Soccer twitter is great, I am sad I wasn't plugged into it previously. Fav a few tweets, share a few dumb opinions, and now my timeline is like:
Russell Westbrook and DK Metcalf could defeat Brazil's current squad with 6 months of training, particularly since Brazil is no longer a team of creative Catholic heathens; also the Americans have 11 Erling Haalands in every mid-size Ohio town but many of them will never make it because they have to pay club fees so they're instead forced to play power forward in the MAC, and America's loudest soccer voice is like "Shareholders see this as a good return on an investment, if you disagree you are woke."

When Lalas says something so stupid it gives you brain damage, remember that our economy is run by people who think exactly like him.
Why invest in programs that benefit communities when corporations can CHARGE them for a worse service!
Suddenly things make a lot more sense!
…we are the wealthiest nation in the entire world, Lalas.
For ex: Belgium manages to make youth soccer accessible & has players like Romelu Lukaku (who couldn’t have afforded youth soccer at age 9 in the US) to show for it.
Our pop is 29x > Belgium’s
Our GDP is 41x > Belgium’s
