@LokiJulianus I’ve been saying we’re really not that bad at soccer considering its relative unimportance in American sports life. Consistently going out in the round of 16 means we are consistently a top-20 national team. Sounds about right considering it’s the fifth team sport.

@TheManlet_King There was a teeny tiny last gasp of normalcy at the end of Obama/first year of Trump when the online and offline hadn’t fully merged. People were upset about 2016 but the consequences of that hadn’t yet percolated.

2018 was the year shit got really weird for kids.

@Babygravy9 I don’t think he’d would’ve been a bad POTUS but his problem is getting elected to it. You do get graded on people skills and persona not just administrative autism.

@walterwhitepill Barely a blip on the news and we’re already back to Iran. Noem’s strategy of online dunking for updoots just to dunk on the libs didn’t actually accelerate deportations it just drew unnecessary vitriol. So far Americans want deportations but don’t want to hear about them either.

@orangefroman @kitten_beloved It’s so lame and boring to pretend to be so ignorant about what the problem is

@LokiJulianus We neither need to engage in revisionist history to make LG some kind of based saint nor dance on the grave of a senator who mostly sided with Trump’s agenda when it mattered

@Rho_die @Trust_Lion_ I think he was probably gay but in a very particular old school southern way where you just didn’t “need” to come out and “be gay.” Actually takes more effort to do that in the modern age than to be a typical fag. Closeted is the default.

@RaiSumi18 @ShoopDaBoofs1 @Columbiasbooks @girlatlawstuff It must take immense effort on your part to live in some fairyland world where you have to pretend that the behavior of black people in public hasn’t made life demonstrably worse for everyone else.

@MisfitToy4Ever @LokiJulianus The NBA is falling behind the MLB on most metrics of popularity partly because of its own flopping epidemic, so this doesn’t really make the point you think it is.

@Emolclause @PpollingNumbers Much more likely, Schumer. Collins is going to win reelection at this point but she would have an easier time against Platner vs. any alternative.

@FistedFoucault I feel for the Parisian policemen in advance

We can’t compete with them

@corsair21c Thing is, Jena was near-existential for Prussia, leading to its temporary subjugation. The Iran war is a poor strategic result but imo not an actual shock, more of an annoyance. It’s unpleasant to think about what an American Jena would look like.

[Borger Mullah @BorgerMullah]

@vers_laLune Shoot me, but would also be happy with it finally “coming home” for England.

[Borger Mullah @BorgerMullah]

@GearsAndInk @HedgeDirty Yeah we don’t even have a soccer youth development pipeline in the European sense. We have a pay-to-play system where academies make money off the parents’ continued investment. Europe has youth clubs who will *pay* the most talented kids to play for them.

[Borger Mullah @BorgerMullah]

@Steve_Sailer And obviously American incentives for kids to pick sports early on puts soccer in 4th or 5th place. Doesn’t help either that our youth development pipeline is backwards from Europe: it’s essentially pay-to-play. We would never “develop” a Messi the way it’s set up now.

[Borger Mullah @BorgerMullah]

@Steve_Sailer Haaland is tall but is actually slim for 6’5” at 205 lbs. He’d need to bulk up.

But the debate about using bubble NFL or NBA players for soccer is missing the point: we would need to have those kinds of athletes start playing soccer when they’re 4, not switch sports.
