@wwalsh It's interesting how many people don't consider sports media...top to bottom...as bribeable. FIFA has HUGE incentive to manipulate TV audiences.
@NikkiNic9384 Because most fans are not athletes and are stupid about how the human body works. Water breaks eat into their couch/TV time. Next question.
@Jermainejunior Jermaine, if population = soccer success, Uruguay would not have won twice and China & India would dominate. The US has many major sports vying for athletes yet we qualified for TWELVE world cups in a sport about 8th in US fan popularity for a century.
@robertwill03@usmntonly That's what knobs said before the USMNT rocked at the 1930, 1950, 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014 world cups. In fact Europe still says that about every USWNT. Just because it's the US.
@Vince_Rosetta@usmntonly Before his first 2 world cups, Messi was in terrible club scoring droughts too. You're saying Pulisek is not one of the 26th best US players?
