🚨 Chris Richards’ mother on paying for football in America:
"When the economy crashed in 2009, we lost everything and were pinching pennies every week. I remember Chris handing me a letter that said if we didn't pay his soccer fees, he wouldn't get to play. I was so embarrassed.”
Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely
amazing to see people on here claim the U.S. is so good at everything that we could “dominate” soccer if we want to
and then when you suggest we fund youth development in the U.S. like other countries do, those same people suddenly find the one thing that the U.S. can’t do
it's so funny that trump made the world cup about himself and promptly torpedoed the national team's mentals, robbing them of the rizz that sustained them and turning this humiliating performance into a cause célèbre for the entire world
