The College Dropout Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I don’t follow American football at all. Do they actually know ball? i imagine they took it serious before almost all other nations and benefitted from a more professional setup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they actually know ball? i imagine they took it serious before almost all other nations and benefitted from a more professional setup. We had arguably the best setup for a real long time, a conveyer belt of talent, we haven’t won everything and other nations have had strong squads for a long time. but as with all national teams, relied on the older players one tourney too long. Happens in every nation, men and women. Our domestic game is well shite though, and the European league is far far better. Our best players have played there but they’ve seemingly wanted home comforts. Can’t blame them. At one point Morgan, Mewis, Horan, Lavelle (some of our best) all had good spells in the European league. Horan is still there. We’ve been decimated by injuries over the last 6 months tho. This coach we have now was a bad hire imo and people have been annoyed about it for a while. Edited August 6, 2023 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Title IX was massive for the US game. Women’s football benefitted enormously in a country where school and college sports underpin almost all major sports. A huge population, the ability to pick up talent at an early age and the professionalism of the coaching trumped the rest of the world that was relying on individuals and a handful of independent clubs. It’s great that that’s turning round with so much investment from professional clubs (especially in Europe) but the US should come again. The resources (both financial and human) are just too great.

Christ, the thin-skinned cunt doesn't half know how to hold a petty grudge. He's kept that bottled-up for four years after Rapinoe's comments in 2019 - but couldn't write it then as they actually won it. It is an enduring mystery how anyone can't see through the fucker - he's still ridiculously popular amongst a decent chunk of the electorate. Yes, racism is popular - but I understand there are other racists available. Edited August 7, 2023 by TheBrownBottle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Surprised they've overturned that, it felt like that sort of challenge that VAR wouldn't give if the ref hadn't given it, but at the same time wouldn't overturn it if the ref did give it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
