“We have three sports leagues in the US that each make far more revenue than any soccer league anywhere in the world” he said, and didn’t even blush.

Sometimes reading utterly ignorant statements is fun. He’s totally right about the stadiums though. But the first part, holy sh*t

[Professor X @rationalhumanis]

We have three sports leagues in the US that each make far more revenue than any soccer league anywhere in the world. We have dozens of stadiums that are far beyond the best venue in most countries. Sports as entertainment is something we unquestionably do better than anyone else in the world.

So when US sports consumers give feedback, you would think people would listen, right? It's like French people commenting on your food or Germans talking about your engineering quality.

Nope! Just more Euro-snob bullshit. The bottom line is soccer is a worse product than American football or basketball. That's why we don't watch it. We have options.

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

@LamineeYamal's goal vs Real Madrid just now... holy. He is -by far- the best young player in the world. And he's only 17!!!

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

Best of lucks, Mr. Porco!!

[Woodbridge Soccer @WSCStrikers]

Thank you, Dave Porco, for your incredible contributions to Woodbridge Soccer. Your dedicated mentorship, leadership, and advocacy have greatly elevated our female programs and left a lasting legacy. Best wishes in your next chapter!

I don’t understand William’s strategy. “We are 11th and 13th and everybody is on their fast laps… Box, box!”

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

Even though he was Argentine, I think it’s fair to consider Alfredo Di Stefano as being Spanish, because he was the best player in Europe for about a decade. He barely played for the Argentine MNT and the one World Cup he was at (Chile 1962), he could not play due to injury.

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

Cristiano Ronaldo, 914 goals as of today. Only about 911 of them came via PK. Those other three though…
The absolute GOAT, according to people in Madrid, Portugal and Mexico (?)

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

Do you consider CR7 to be in the Top 5 of the history of soccer? He’s a Top 10 in my list. In no particular order:

Messi 🇦🇷
Pelé 🇧🇷
Maradona 🇦🇷
Di Stéfano 🇦🇷🇪🇸
Cruyff 🇳🇱

Then:

Ronaldo N 🇧🇷
C Ronaldo 🇵🇹
Ronaldinho 🇧🇷
Beckenbauer 🇩🇪
Puskas 🇭🇺

@truenorthfoot I think any -all?- of those locations would be perfect. Would probably wait for Kelowna since BC already has two teams in that region, but it would be awesome to have more. Bring CPL to KW!!! ❤️⚽️

@FacuAlegre14 Obra kirchnerista? Ese es el edificio del Correo Central, es de la época de Juárez Celman!!

Τι μπέρδεμα 😂😂

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

Wow. How embarrassing...

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

Watching Woodbridge Strikers 2-1 Burlington in @L1OMens action. Burlington’s #6 shoving the referee and walking off the field right after the final whistle. No red card given for that childish behaviour. 🤷🏻

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

@Drake single-handedly ruining Canada's chances tonight, as he normally does. Damn.

[ESPN FC @ESPNFC]

Drake placed a $300,000 bet on Canada to beat Argentina in the Copa America semifinal 😳💰

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

@BenSteiner00 I was in NYC for Argentina-Chile a few days ago and you are right, it was fantastic to see. Same when I went to Miami for Peru-Argentina. It doesn't matter where #ARG plays, our fans will always show up in big numbers!!

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

This is happening tonight. It's -without a doubt- the biggest game in Canadian soccer history. I have lived 33 years in #ARG and 24 in #CAN, so whoever wins tonight, I will be happy but also sad 🤣.

What an event this will be! #CopaAmerica 🇨🇦🇦🇷❤️⚽️

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

If I ever make fun of the opponent team or their fans while I am commentating a game, please let me know immediately. It's an awful thing to do

[Coach Gabe @GabeAlmada]

@celtics US Champions and that’s it. Add Canada if you want. But to call yourselves World Champions as if Real Madrid, Partizan, etc didn’t exist is WAY too cringy. Your “Dream Team” did the same and then was outplayed and humbled by Argentina and Spain among others. Arrogance is poison.

I've waited many years to be able to do this. I am healthier now, so I have signed up to participate in the Walk to end ALS this weekend. I will be walking 10 KM! I am asking for your support, whether it is through donation or sharing this. Thank you!
