I cannot believe I have permanently chained myself to a team that does everything it can to lower the expectations year after year after year, yet still can't meet them EVER.
The #FactoryofSadness continues to stay open for us...
@StanCollymore I am looking forward to that. It will probably be the most intimidating environment that England has ever played in. I hope you get to go and experience it. Look out for flying urine bags.
@StanCollymore C'mon Stan. Skip is one of the founding members of the Big Hot Take fraternity and is clickbaiting. He isn't relevant here in the US at all.
No way you should hook anything he says to most Americans.
@TaylorTwellman I think the switch from goal differrence to head-to-head as the 1st tiebreaker is a big contributor. I like H2H much better because it rewards beating your closest competitor in the group, not running up the score on the weak team to squeak in on GD.
@StanCollymore I think that's how you will find most situations here. Yes there will be jerks, and sometimes stadium people have rules wrong, but its not as bad as news/social media make us think. There's still way too much injustice in my country, but there still is a lot of good too.
@JhTravers84@TaylorTwellman Of course not. Its a numbers game. If you can get more elite athletes (in all areas, not just size/speed, but also sports IQ, quick twich muscles and body control, like Messi/Busquets/etc) you have a bigger pool of potential high level players.
@DoubleJ__96@TaylorTwellman Understood, and there's no guarantee that any of them would still be soccer players, but it becomes a numbers game -> Increasing the number of elite athletes playing soccer instead of other sports increases the chances of high talent (not just bigger faster stronger) US players.
@Boroshirts That's just the reality of football here in the US. For MLS those are premium seats and can bring in $. A better comparison to EPL stadia would be an NFL game. Those stadiums are packed (69k avg for the whole league) and there aren't any tables close to the field.
@A_Rakhman@Boroshirts In general, pitchside seats between the walls and the advertisement boards are some of the highest in MLS stadiums. I'm assuming that the stadium was using MLS-style pricing and setups since this was a friendly in Orlando City's stadium.

@DavidPSamson The Tigers couldn't have been serious with a $19M offer. Could that have been a token offer so they would lose and not tick off owners by putting a massing arbitration bid in and look good to Skubal because they will pay him a lot?
BREAKING: Two-time reigning American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal won his arbitration case and will make $32 million this year, sources tell ESPN. Skubal’s bet to go for the largest salary ever in the arbitration system paid off, as he’ll make $13M more than Tigers argued.
@GlennDavisSoc Simple answer is that his name isn't "American."
US people see his name and think he's Italian and not "one of ours." Its the same reason that you don't hear the "Crap American" garbage coming out of Europe when his teams struggle. They don't know him as an American either.
