This is why it's important to bully American soccer defenders of the status quo and My Little Soccer shills.
You live in a bubble of toxic positivity and shilling of monopolization. American sports fans outside that bubble call out that bullshit quickly.
First trailer for ‘AMERICAN DOCTOR’.
The documentary follows 3 physicians who worked to save the lives of children in Gaza who were hit by Israeli bombs.
In select theaters starting from August 14.
Landon Donovan says America is missing soccer talent because kids can’t afford to play.
“Only 2% of kids playing organized soccer in America came from households that made less than $50,000.”
“If you don’t make $50,000, your kid cannot play organized soccer.”
“Think about how many kids you’re missing out on in this country because they can’t afford to play the game.”
“There is zero chance I could have played club soccer.”
“My mom made $34,000 a year, single mom raising three kids.”
“She couldn’t pay $4,000 for me to play club. Are you kidding? She couldn’t pay $400.”
“That’s not a good system to create good players.”
Good on her for saying it because every time the US has a pants shitting embarrassing loss the first thing we get is a retired guy like Dempsey saying how proud they are and how much heart the team showed. Those dudes played like complete ass tonight and people should say so.
I love this clip because I was absolutely football daft as a kid and if one of the most famous footballers in the world hit me on the shoulder for a handshake it would be my reaction also. The little girl also, the pure excitement. Off the pitch moment of the world cup for me.
