So could England and you'd have the added bonuses of..
The oldest football nation on earth with fans able to walk up to stadiums rather than being located 20 miles outside of the city in a former swamp. Walking past houses, cafes, pubs where you can feel the energy build.
Enjoy that pint and a sing song in a real pub in a real housing estate next to the stadium rather than 12 different concessions that all sell burgers at a mall/airport stadium concession centre.
Pricing that demands ALL fans can realistically attend rather than a cock waving wanker telling everyone he paid a million dollars for his ticket.
Communities that live a breathe the game instead of pretending they know what they're talking about for a month every 4 years.
Stadiums that are built for the game, generate noise rather than spaceship sized Disneylands that generate zero football atmosphere.
A chance for supporters to visit any one of 100 professional clubs stadiums in one small country, many within a 10 mile radius, where 150 year old rivalries have played out. You'll end up buying the shirt of a shitty club in a random town you've never heard of and it'll hit like crack for the rest of your life.
A travel experience by car or rail that could see you get to any ground from any other in 4, not 14 hours.
An opportunity to have jellied eels before going into the London stadium, jerk chicken or jollof rice at Arsenal , world class Balti pies at Villa Park or homemade top class pies at Anfield by @HomebakedBakery then sitting on the world famous Kop or beautiful new Everton stadium for a game.
Let the American mind boggle as St James's Park sits squarely in the City centre of Newcastle, not 20 miles out.
Stay in London and visit 15 or 16 professional clubs in one city.
Visit the @NFM_Shop and understand 150 years of English football culture, footballs and shirts that are half the age of your country, the world's most fascinating collection of football history.
Not everyone wants bigger, more expensive or corporate. Most fans across the globe proudly campaign for affordable pricing so that EVERYONE can enjoy and be a part of this sport.
I'll invite you to Spain and Portugal and Morocco , as my guest, for the next edition. Football cultures that from Seville to Barcelona to Bilbao to Marrakech to Lisbon to Porto to Vigo highlight difference in cultures, regions, cities and football experiences. A 24/7 living and breathing passion for the sport that unless experienced, cannot be fully comprehended or appreciated.
If you like big, corporate, burger concessioned, greed driven pricing, sure, America wins.
But if you want your mind blown, you'll go to a World Cup in Italy, Spain, England, Germany, Brazil, Argentina. I guarantee, even in jest, you'll realise how naive your comments are.
Same as last night, I'm a few more drinks deep & up 4 @ 6am. Couple of things that has hit me hard, no dad 2 call & then a card from my daughter handwritten with Foo Fighters "My Hero" lyrics ๐ also discovering my gifts were bought by a friend & not my ex ! My Chaos = My Family
I'm a couple of drinks deep, but here goes. Being called Dad is an amazing feeling & will always make me smile, BUT not being able 2 call Dad kills me & especially around Fathers day. Got a difficult few weeks upcoming, so if u have a Dad/parent call em cos u never know ๐๐ฅ
I really should start acting my age ! Drinking till the early hours & then up @ 7am 4 work, it isn't big or clever but DAMN it was fun !! Credit 2 my teen Bailey 4 the artwork on my head ๐ค๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐คฃ
Lee Dixon would b ripping Eng 2 shreds if we were drawing 0-0 with Cape Verdรจ, but here he's praising their defensive display & has firmly climbed up Yamals ass as soon as he's come on
A rare Sat night without my girls, how have I spent it ? Gone out on a session & staggered home with a takeaway ? Course not. Ive had a takeaway delivered, had a couple of cans & watched world cup. Near 5am & I'm awaiting Turkey v Australia lol ๐คฃ
@ALANMYERSMEDIA How can Hull prepare 4 the game, when they don't know the opposition ? It's unfair on them. Southampton kicked out 4 spying on opposition yet the irony being Hull don't know their opposition yet !
@ALANMYERSMEDIA Players will b fuming, they didn't do/know anything about this. Yet they worked all season 2 get chance of being a Premiership team again & they have been royally done over by management/coaching staff etc, bloody embarrassing
@MichaelShoeBobs He's made a name 4 himself @ Bournemouth & is leaving cos he wants 2 prove himself @ a bigger club. We r bigger but stuck in a rut, we have new owners/stadium & ambitions 4 Euro. We're perfect 4 him if he's backed, Moyes did a job but his footy is negative & we need 2 look 4ward
@Paul03391 Honestly think Moyes served a purpose, I'll b 1st 2 admit if I'm proved wrong. There's Glasner/Iraola available & I'd take either 4 nxt season, personal favourite is Iraola & I'd do everything 2 get him aboard our project
The fact an onloan winger in George has more minutes than a ยฃ40m signing in Dibling is embarrassing. We start games hoping not 2 lose & then if we manage 2 go ahead we sit even further back. I appreciate what Moyes did but we need 2 look 4ward & b positive, not always negative
@PED7@ToffeeTVEFC I'd b rolling out the carpet & begging him, I appreciate Moyes & what he did but we need 2 look 4wards/upwards & not start games hoping not 2 lose
@Paul03391 Agreed but also the fact McNeil has had more minutes since nearly signing 4 Palace, 2 many games we've lost trying not 2 lose instead of trying 2 win. I appreciate Moyes but I'm not confident in him in our summer transfer window buying 30+players with a defensive attitude 1st
@NilSatisNews I'd say out, I appreciate what he has done but the negative football since new year has been prominent. We start games hoping 4 a point,manage 2 get in lead & sit back whilst opposition press/attack us. Players running on empty but subs r 75/80m every week barring injury
@Paul03391 I'm not saying Dibling's gr8 but fact we're giving loan players more mins is not gr8. The fact Moyes has Dibling/Coleman/Patterson on bench but continues with a CB @ RB & Dibling gets no minutes. Moyes lack of subs is not gr8, can guarantee no subs until 70/75min unless injured
@r4chaelc1878 Very negative as always, start hoping not 2 lose & then we go ahead so sit back & let opposition come @ us. Played a CB @ RB all season despite 2 RBs on bench most of season. Embarrassing/negative performances all season
@ALANMYERSMEDIA Abysmal Al, the number of games we've managed 2 lose a lead/capitulate is embarrassing. We've had 2 RB on bench most of season but he's insisted on playing a CB there. When ahead we've never looked 4 a 2nd, we've a ยฃ40m winger on bench but an on loan winger has more minutes
