@RodrigoFarfan21 @sckrimpbo @kylesheldon @USMNT It’s called soccer in plenty of places. USA are the only country that say that? Couldn’t be more wrong.

Australia
New Zealand
Japan
USA
Canada
Caribbean nations
South Africa
Ireland

All the above call it soccer.

Don’t like it? Talk to the British.

@beth_min1594 @POSTADeportes @SamuelLuisF Crazy that when you visit Japan, if you as a foreigner speak perfect Japanese they respond with the six words of English they know.

@m00nly2 @usmntonly 1994 World Cup in the USA had the highest attendance of any World Cup, both in overall attendance and average per match. Average Americans love big events, and as ticket and hotel prices drop you’ll see an increase in tickets purchased and booked rooms.

@McKiki18 @xmuse_ It helps with constipation 😖💩

[Todd Hallier @ToddHallier]

@AppleSeedGames @nocontextmemes Because at least in Japanese, everything ends in a vowel, unless it ends with “n” consonant.

@Tommy2Tone @acmilan Someone doesn’t understand the joke…

[Todd Hallier @ToddHallier]

@CharitonBeacon And Missouri is crying about this?

@BroncoRob @MarkPoulose @craigfordtv @KCTV5 @Broncos I hear you too. I have wonderful memories and a lot of heartache from games at Arrowhead. It won’t be the same at the new stadium, but new memories will be made.

[Todd Hallier @ToddHallier]

@BroncoRob @MarkPoulose @craigfordtv @KCTV5 @Broncos For sure. It’s like 20 miles from Arrowhead in Kansas City MO to the new stadium in Kansas City, KS.

@BroncoRob @MarkPoulose @craigfordtv @KCTV5 @Broncos The Chiefs are still in KC. Kansas City KS.

FEELING ELITE 🟢⚪️

For the first time ever, we're advancing to the NCAA Quarterfinals!

@superkeeper33 @ManagerTactical Put all 6 in a sprint, a strength competition, or jumping, or whatever, and the Barcelona players are going to finish behind the American guys. Put them on the pitch and they’ll run circles around the Americans. If you want better American players, the culture needs changing.

[Todd Hallier @ToddHallier]

@superkeeper33 @ManagerTactical So you’d say Iniesta, Busquests, Xavi are better athletes than guys like Robinson, Altidore, or Pulisic? Because they are all bigger, stronger, faster, can jump higher than any of those Barcelona guys, who in no way were elite athletes in the American sense (fast, strong, jump).

[Todd Hallier @ToddHallier]

@superkeeper33 @ManagerTactical The best Barcelona teams were a bunch of short little midgets playing keep away, many of whom weren’t the fastest, strongest or most athletic. LeBron James probably wouldn’t be a great soccer player, along with a lot of other NBA, NFL athletes.

@SJF_LFC @ManagerTactical It’s not free in Japan (not sure why you bring up China, and whatever model they use in China isn’t working at all). Coaches must be paid, fees must be paid for fields, tournaments, uniforms. Who do you suggest pay for these?

[Todd Hallier @ToddHallier]

@therazorpill @ManagerTactical Japan is trash at tournament football? That’s a rotten take.

[Todd Hallier @ToddHallier]

@orofinger @ManagerTactical And what has that “winning mentality” and this “South American/ European” combination gotten the USMNT?

Surely you can see the difference in quality between Japan and USA, just look at their performances at the last World Cup (there is no comparison).

[Todd Hallier @ToddHallier]

@ReyPere38138234 @Ratidoking @MoompyRed @FabrizioRomano Top 2, maybe 3 clubs in Saudi are better than the MLS top clubs. The rest of the Saudi league is hot garbage.

[Todd Hallier @ToddHallier]

@Javi_USMNT @TheBolivianYank @ManagerTactical Well, I can only speak for the Midwest, and growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, the coaches you paid for were all British, and a bunch of them came here in the late ‘70’s and early 80’s. A few coaches were from the Caribbean, but all the pro youth coaches were Brits.

[Todd Hallier @ToddHallier]

@HanLoloFM1 @TheBolivianYank @ManagerTactical The streets aren’t big enough or are too busy in Japan to play, not in their culture to play in the streets. But a lot of their practices are done on fields of dirt with no grass and plenty of small rocks that make the ball bounce funny. Probably helps with their first touch.
