🇺🇸 TRUMP: "SOCCER IS THE REAL FOOTBALL, WE NEED ANOTHER NAME FOR THE NFL THINGY"
"They've thought soccer, or football, would be so big, so fast.
And I remember, I shouldn't say this because it was a long time ago, but I remember watching Pelé play on a team called the Cosmos.
Pelé, who is fantastic, I assume one of the greats. And he scored 3 goals out there.
I said, 'That man can play.'
When you look at what has happened to football in the United States, soccer, we seem to never call it that because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football.
But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? I mean, THIS is football. There's no question about it.
We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff.
But who would have thought it would have come to a level where you've set your all-time season ticket records?
Nobody's ever sold as many tickets. And you're still a long way from that ball being kicked down the field.
What an incredible leap this has been. And congratulations to FIFA."

I'm not really excited about an extension for Pep. We need new blood.
He's given us the best moments in our history but it looks like he's run out of ideas & there's clearly an issue between him and many of the players. Let's get someone new in and rebuild.
Rodri on whether he will be the only Spaniard on the #BallondOr shortlist: "The truth is I don't really care. I'm just focused on winning #euro2024. I've already said I prefer that other people judge individual recognition. I'm here to win collective titles..." [via @diarioas]
I’d be as happy as anybody else if England won something but let’s be honest, international football is sooo bad compared to what we get to see all season
@TommySmith1992 I think it’s on ETH mate. Same story every game, 2 of them getting dragged all over leaving the young lad to cover 50 yards of space, opposition just exploit it
