I knew you'd look. Yes, voted Remain but not in a sulky strop. Stop whingeing. Learning French. Pronouns: It/Shove/Ass/Your/Up

@heterodoxan As its hosting the World Cup this year....

Europeans see Americans take on NATO as them complaining that their favourite Quarterback isn't playing for the USA Soccer team.

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@HausenKS Americans don't sweat apparently

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@MynameisNadia__ Not exactly something for anyone to boast about is it.

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@posh_420 @johnnyrockets27 @Anth_Chatburn @Watson_SLdn Nobody cares

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@Anth_Chatburn @Watson_SLdn "Franchises"

I rest my case.

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@Anth_Chatburn @Watson_SLdn Now do a sport the rest of the world gives a shit about

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@cowboyshiesty96 @Watson_SLdn What does that even mean? Our 'local sport' is a globally played one. You're banging on about your stadiums used for a sport nobody else cares about.

It's the World Cup, the NFL etc are irrelevant.

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@MrJ9_FFC England alone (smaller than Florida) has about 100 full time professional clubs (probably more) across the 5 top leagues.

They'll never understand. It was amusing at first but is getting incredibly tedious now.

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@Remikors Don't do irony over there do they

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@OliLondonTV You shouldn't be allowed to dress like a twat either.

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@oxfjack Mine too. They think they're outwitting everyone else when really they're as thick as mince and totally fail to understand what the game means outside of the US.

A yanks take on footy is like them thinking they're eating healthily because there's a bit of lettuce in their burger

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@SpangledBallers Mine is full of thick yanks that believe everything they've read on here and are furiously trying to defend even the slightest criticism of their attempts at hosting a major world tournament.

A week in tge European football environment would break them.

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@FallGuySports @SteelersWin109 Great idea if it keeps you in too.

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@SteelersWin109 Funniest thing is watching yanks fail to differentiate between observation and criticism.

They're inability to grasp or even attempt subtlety is astounding. They fail at 'banter' lacking the nous to achieve a subtle wind up or even a decent insult.

Big stadia, small minds.

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@soccerpaedia Any who understands European football would know it's the support of the fans that make or break a stadium, not how many seats it has, jow tall it is or how it looks.

A smaller crowd of regular fervent supporters would won hands down over a bowl full of part timers every time

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@CFB_Pat Why do Americans confuse size of stadium, complicated light and pyro shows and overpriced catering witj having a good time and creating a genuine atmosphere?

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@AOHartford The rest of the World would just add "Women" when talking about them.

You've demonstrated the Americanisation of the game quite well.

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@JayHrndz2 How to comment on something you've not listened to American style

[Simon Laffont @SimonLaffont]

@UConnTim Host country, home game, one of the largest countries in the world whose supporters didn't have to cross the Atlantic to attend.

Anything other than a sell out would have been an international embarrassment.
