If you're with MLS or an MLS team marketing dept, please stop paying D-tier influencers to attend MLS soccer matches. People like this don't help the brand and only enrage diehard fans. Find sicko fans and elevate them and their stories instead of paying social media influencers.
Americans who currently support local teams whether it be MLS, USL, etc… are likely the first generation of fans to be supporting those teams. When you hear Europeans talking about their grandad supporting a team & that’s why they support them, you are that grandad currently.
One big US soccer thought: our youth development has to get more affordable. One of my kids plays travel. It’s at least $5k a year & this isn’t even super high end. We can afford it, thankfully, lots can’t. Youth sports costs in the US are out of control, soccer more than most.
Don’t tell me Paraguay isn’t that good, as if I haven’t watched this team struggle to hold possession or play creatively against CONCACAF cellar dwellers for most of my life.
I still remember this Jermaine Jones 🇺🇸screamer against Portugal 🇵🇹 like it was yesterday….
I was running around my house screaming at the top of my lungs.
This will always be my favorite USMNT WC goal
