@usmntonly I knew we were going to lose especially since it's a friendly and we would sub out everyone. But honestly I thought we played well. It was a good game
Senior citizens should have to take driver's licenses test after the age of 70 or 75. No reason for safe drivers to get punted into a pill cause you can't see over your steering wheel
🗣️ Mauricio Pochettino on Brenden Aaronson missing training to get married. "The human being is always at the front of my mind.
"Players need to plan their lives, and the decision [to get married in late May] was made more than two years ago before I took charge.
"At the time, FIFA didn't allow a national team to play a warm-up game before 1 June and that was why they planned [the wedding].
"I wanted to allow Brenden to go. I know the type of professional player he is. It’s a good thing to let him celebrate...
"In the past, maybe people thought we [coaches] are all dictators. Maybe when I was a player, it was impossible. My old coaches would have said, 'I don’t care about you and your kids' [laughs].
"But today's society has evolved. Now we think about these things in more human terms than in the past.
"We were all happy. I am happy. He’s happy. His wife is happy."
@BibleBaggins46 See if the euros got out of their echo chamber they'd realize they have the same problems. You're just complaining to complain about the US in any fashion you can. Timezones, size, parking, walkability, ticket, food, tipping, and of course politics. Give the rest of us a break
Euro Soccer fans:
We accept all cultures, walks of life, nationalities and opinions.
*World Cup in US*
Euro Soccer fans:
Will complain about anything and everything. Hate everything about American culture. Hate American soccer culture. Its not okay if America [insert opinions]
Europeans crying that they get to stay up late for a summer to drink & watch the World Cup together after work everyday is so funny -
Try waking up at 5am every winter to stream your club losing alone in the cold dark. Imagine being at work during every Champions League match.
Right the 16th ranked team won't beat the *checks notes* the 27th ranked team, *checks notes again* the 40th ranked team and won't win against the 22nd ranked team.... on home soil...
I know Turkey will be a hard fight but we're not losing to the Aussies or Paraguay.
I'll never understand why the playoffs happen in any sport/tournament and people immediately want to change things. March madness/CFO expansion. Baseball/softball reseeding.
Like just leave it alone. Don't go putting your little grubby hands on everything.
