I remember the World Cup coverage in 1994, it was filled with derisory coverage mocking Americans and their comical ignorance of football. Every single game seemed to be prefaced with someone from the media stopping random Americans in the street and laughing hysterically at their comical ignorance of football and the fact that they didn’t even know that the World Cup is happening, i genuinely thought 32 years later we would show some originality and try something different but i was wrong. I live in the US, I coach football out here and have been involved in football here for 15+ years so I think i have a decent read on the game here. When you’re talking about Americans, you’re talking about Latino/Latina Americans, Asian Americans, European Americans, African Americans etc, do you honestly think these people are clueless about football? Why do you think the US is such a lucrative television market if nobody is watching it? I have yet to meet a single human being who isn’t aware that the World Cup is happening. Football and Basketball are the #1 youth participatory sports in the country, what do you think the parents of these kids are asking people like me? Americans already know they pay a price for being an American and liking football but still they show up at bars at 4am to watch it, they still pay fortunes and fly all over the world to watch the teams they love and young teenagers here are as well informed about football as anyone.
@jonmikesav8 Peps body language tells you alot. They are guilty and some of thier titles will be withdrawn and his reputation in football will forever be tainted for financial doping.
Can't we just ask Rashford to lower his wages a little bit to remain with us? Would that not be more beneficial than paying £40-70m for a left-winger who isn't half as talented as him? #MUFC
@MickRuby_MURTV No. As much as I like him, only if he is free and pay as you play.
In the last 2 seasons he didn't have a good Injury record. How can be play as backup. If both are injuried at the same time....
A man went to the hospital to visit his mother-in-law, who was in serious condition...
On the way back the wife, very worried, asks: "So, honey? How's my mum doing?"
He replies, "She looks great! She is in good health! She will still live for many years! Next week she will be released from the hospital and will come and live with us, forever!"
"Wow that's amazing!" says the wife.
"But this is very strange, dear, yesterday she seemed to be on her deathbed, the doctors said she should have a few days to live!"
"Well, I don't know how she was yesterday", he replied, "But today when I arrived at the hospital, the doctor told me that we should prepare for the worst"
*Russia banned from football for attacking Ukraine*
*USA, host of the World Cup, bombs Iran for over a month, kills its Supreme Leader and refuses to let the Iranian team stay even one night in the country*
FIFA President:
Dear Gabriel,
You can’t imagine how much joy and happiness you’ve brought to millions of people around the world.

After boasting to her mother about how great she is at doing head stands...
Susan was advised not to practice it in her new school since her underwear is usually exposed.
Susan was proud at her achievement after her first day and was eager to tell Mum about the great audience of boys she attracted at school when showing off her skills.
Mother reminded her about exposing her panties of which Susan replied, "No Mum they were not seeing my panties."
"How come sweetie?", said Mum.
"Because I took them off Mum." she replied.
🚨|🎙️ Ian Wright has slammed the situation unfolding ahead of the World Cup:
🗣️ “I'm really laughing… but this isn't funny. Tickets are exorbitant, travel costs are high, and visas are being rejected… Is this how a host behaves?” 👀🇺🇸
“We saw how Qatar was criticized… and now? I don't hear a thing!”
@_shaunirvine He's going to city. This is just another PR ploy by city , dangling the player utd wanted and when the club thought they had a chance , he decided to join city. Just to tell the world players choose to join city and not utd.
