Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.
This is it and i don’t want to hear the bullshit that isn’t attainable by the US. One of the richest countries, the richest country in the world can afford to do this to finally become a world football superpower
The USMNT will be stuck at the World Cup until it adopts Germany's blueprint
In 2000 Germany finished last at the Euros and decided it was time overhaul the system. They built 390 regional training bases to make sure one was within 25 km of every kid in country. They hired 1,200 full-time coaches, invested €48 million per year and mandated that every pro club build a certified youth academy or lose its license
The cost to families was $0 and 14 years later, 21 of the 23 players who won the World Cup came directly from the system
The group stage is the best part of every World Cup, everyone is around… all fans, multiple games in a day, chaos, more upsets, random blow outs, the vibes.
The knockouts are great but the group stage is without a doubt the best part of every World Cup.
DUNE putting out a full trilogy in 5 years is absolutely insane for modern franchise filmmaking like when is the next time we will get a series with this level of quality in such a short timespan
Cristiano Ronaldo begged for hamburgers outside McDonalds. He’d never turn pro in America
Messi’s parents were factory workers. He’d never turn pro in America
Lalas went to boarding school. Failed to get into college until his dad made a call to Rutgers. He went pro in America
LOL I love it. They even got Jozy Altidore, an American, speaking perfect Spanish for the pre game show. If they’re so angry about it, they should have just done a better job
