@Stefstef414007 @timchodz Aside from the inaccuracy, perhaps the stereotype exists based on some of the cultural dishes that developed post 1945, because Britain spent the best part of half a century paying for a war that your country started, and that the other bloke’s country used to rinse us dry.

@RioMeets @rioferdy5 @GNev2 @Airbnb Should have asked him why he lied about Bruno, and why he hasn’t yet corrected the record.

@brianmruiz2334 @GarySmith0qax @365__Football @JuliaSF1993 Well, if it wasn’t for football, American football wouldn’t exist, so you can thank us for that.

[Andy @ajlen15]

@yankzztv @basse_andersson @CasualReb It used to, because other nations didn’t take women’s football seriously.

Now you have stiff competition from Spain, England, Germany, Japan and Brazil.

The US won’t experience the sort of dominance that they saw previously.

@SteelersWin109 @Dan_Baz_Collier ‘De-fence!’ *clap-clap-clap*
‘De-fence’ *clap-clap-clap*

‘Gooooooo Team!’

‘I believe we will win!’

‘Hold that line!’ Hold that line!’

‘Give me a C! Give me a U! Give me an N! Give me a T!

Fucking embarrassing.

@RReddert @NewtonJedi Back to your question.

It absolutely is a dream.

To see Man Utd, Liverpool & Arsenal play at your home ground, & your team play at Old Trafford & Anfield, after years trekking the country in the pissing rain watching them in the depths of the 4th division,

That’s Fantasy Land.

[Andy @ajlen15]

@RReddert @NewtonJedi In The UK & Europe, football is entrenched in working class culture.

It’s for the factory workers, the miners & the road sweepers.

It’s why so much effort goes into keeping the match days affordable for local communities, & why we baulk at the ticket prices at the World Cup.

[Andy @ajlen15]

@Nunnie3001 @NewtonJedi The Premier League does have all the best players, and they got there on merit.

They tried to bring the closed European Super League in, and we all whole heartedly rejected it, because promotion and relegation is central to everything that is great about football.

[Andy @ajlen15]

@nd_winencheese @pmagnerjr Looks like a Lego set.

[Andy @ajlen15]

@RReddert @NewtonJedi 42 different teams have earned promotion to the Premier League since 1992/93.

Why should fans of Middlesbrough, Blackpool, Bolton, Brighton, Brentford, Hull, Cardiff, Swansea, Birmingham, Portsmouth etc have been denied the dream to playing in it?

[Andy @ajlen15]

@Nunnie3001 @NewtonJedi It’s so counterintuitive to everything that The American Dream apparently stands for.

[Andy @ajlen15]

@Nunnie3001 @NewtonJedi It’s a closed shop, with no ability to ever ‘earn’ your way into the top leagues.

Can you imagine being a fan of a local team, like Burnley, with the dream of climbing up through the leagues and making it to the NFL.

Then 1 day you’re there watching them against The Patriots?

[Andy @ajlen15]

@ClemsonCameron @NewtonJedi It’s a shame that you’re having to get excited about watching kids playing at University, because it’s impossible for your local team to ever make it to the NFL.

[Andy @ajlen15]

@PaulFartHiTop @NewtonJedi Is it a closed shop or not?

Because if none of the teams can get relegated, and if no one can be promoted into the league, then it’s a closed shop.

And if you’re talking about college football, that’s fucking embarrassing.

[Andy @ajlen15]

@brianmruiz2334 @365__Football @JuliaSF1993 Also, Ryan Reynolds is Canadian, and the fact that they’ve bought into the Wrexham story, and got them competing for a place in The Premier League, doesn’t in anyway minimise the fantasy that those fans are currently living.

[Andy @ajlen15]

@brianmruiz2334 @365__Football @JuliaSF1993 You’re part of the club mate.

Wrexham fans were watching their team in non league (5th tier of English Football).

They were down & out, & their club almost folded (the fans saved it in 2011 by raising £100k between them in 24 hours.

Their story can’t be replicated in America.

[Andy @ajlen15]

@MartinoPooch Wahhhh, they noticed that our pitches are shit.

Wahhhh, how dare they pick up on the fact that ticket prices are outrageous.

Wahhhh, they don’t like our soulless, identikit stadiums.

Wahhhh, how dare they complain about travelling 6,000 miles between group games.

Wahhhhh!
