@WestPineBills You think Norway was going to produce a Haaland? It can certainly happen. Obviously it’s a team sport but a top player that kids can wea jerseys of goes a long long way. Pulisic and Donvon have come really close. You need to inspire kids to want to play and choose soccer
@WestPineBills Pulisic is a false prophet. US has still not developed that mega star to inspire the masses and have that will not ne denied drag a team to the quarters and beyond
I am liberal as they come but this is such an absolute trash take. You can feel icky about Trump getting involved in this, but Balogun didnt ask for this. He’s doesnt need to make a heroic statement or whatever. It’s not his responsibility. His responsibility is to play. Thats it
Balogun should decline to play; I think that's the best decision at this point. I'd be pleasantly surprised if that's what comes to pass, but hope springs eternal. Infantino must be removed &/or participating nations should reject FIFA's authority & create a new world soccer governing body. FIFA begs to be neutralized once and for all; it's unreformable.
BREAKING @TheAthleticFC
Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium with his one-game red-card ban suspended. Extraordinary development.

@ToddFuhrman A MAGA version of FIFA would be undoubtedly funny. “We have the very best refs. People are saying to me, Gianni. Thank you for cleaning up this game”
@VitinhoXLFC@IanDoyleSport And I agree that absolutely should be a crucial factor. But is a subjective list, and in my opinion, those who embody what it means to be a Liverpool player factors in. It’s what separates Liverpool from other teams. End of the day. It’s just an opinion.
@cjogara Ole Miss. Should be great. Chambliss back for one last ride. Golden (Dad pun intended) opportunity to show who the real brains of the operations was.
@howl_phases@TwoGuysOneCup Look. All I can say is 23 is awfully young. I was not the person I was at 23 that I was at 27-30 the prime of an athlete. Humblings sometimes help. It’s not a guarantee but it’s a good risk. As far as Carlo. I am just going to disagree. Two third rounders for a known guy. Easy.
@howl_phases@TwoGuysOneCup You don’t think NHL GMs would trade two guys in their mid 30s for a guy who was a top 3 pick and only 23? You know what Schenn and Faulk are. McTavish you don’t yet
