@kennycovington1 @dopeyramone @CFCofPA I was speaking to the ‘you should focus on the system and not the players you’re putting into the system’ comment. The euro academy, Germany blueprint isn’t scalable here imo. But flooding those academies with Americans (like 95% of soccer nations do already vs home growth) is…

[bunsonsburner @mnmaherj]

@kennycovington1 @dopeyramone @CFCofPA I don’t think you got what my point was. We have heard nonstop from euros about academy development when reality is 5-6 euro countries are truly elite in that respect. I just think we need to get more Americans in those systems, rather than try to re-create here.

@dirk_fasshauer @tw1tt3rxxx Actual facts: Amongst top ten most populated countries, Soccer is number 1 sport in one country by participation and viewership. The remaining 9 countries represent 68.9% of humanity. More ppl live with soccer as secondary sport than primary worldwide but don’t tell Dirk.

@the_transit_guy It’s a 3.5 hour drive. Suck it up buttercup.

[bunsonsburner @mnmaherj]

@dopeyramone @CFCofPA This is also a dumb argument there are several countries that offer elite level development for the globe. Let’s not pretend like Messi became Messi because of an Argentinian club, or that 95% of Brazilians were not developed abroad.

@lordtachungus42 @willmelvin For being handcuffed, bludgeoned, and having your throat slit, you sure to whine on twitter pretty well.

@sgevans Here we go now Simon… you’re almost there…now let’s take Take it a step further: what happens when you look at population size? It’s seems in countries with more people and where soccer isn’t number 1 sport (which is 9 out of 10 most populated countries in planet), it struggles

@AjmalPronto @stats_feed Who would make this list. Proving how dumb this list is.

@HudginsCha67088 @stats_feed Jordan Davis hit 29.93 k/h and is 315+ pounds. There’s a reason the saying ‘the European mind can’t comprehend’ exists, apparently.

@kmasonkee @yscentral @Silly__Jilly Man City thinks he’s a big deal…

@nikicaga If people leaving college early for the draft was new knowledge for you, maybe…. Just maybe… you didn’t know enough information to make such a comically uninformed and overall embarrassing claim aloud?

[bunsonsburner @mnmaherj]

@iamhenriiii When there’s a known formation that basically prevents anyone from scoring, and that’s the move you make when up, and everyone does it (parking the bus), it’s hard to convince me that it’s more complex.

@GersonJAvila @ClayTravis Notice the key words ‘non NFL sporting event’. lol.

[bunsonsburner @mnmaherj]

@BIGBOYMALAYSIA @phillysport Malaysia ranks 136th and has never been to the World Cup. We rank 17th. Just like comparing any metric between both countries, you’re levels below. Third world in every measure.

@ds9trek @nickweinstein27 @Daveravedave That’s strange. A simple google would tell you sky doesn’t release numbers for individual games. However, they had 715,000 tune into the last Super Bowl (45% YoY increase), and are increasing their nfl package by 50% more games. Why would a business do that if nobody watches?

[bunsonsburner @mnmaherj]

@dirk_fasshauer Nobody is saying we’d be better than everyone else. Just saying it would look very different than the current state, where we rank higher than all but 8 European countries already. A vast portion of that continent is trying to rip Americans whilst looking up at us in rankings

[bunsonsburner @mnmaherj]

@Anti_Bully_DE @DavidSuslenskiy @ShefDanner @adamg1224 lol. Right.

[bunsonsburner @mnmaherj]

@Anti_Bully_DE @DavidSuslenskiy @ShefDanner @adamg1224 Ahhh. At the point where facts don’t support your claim so it’s ’ Let’s play hypothetical straw mans to make a point’. The reality is all your claims were false: we have beaten euro team, and we won the last major interNATIONAL comps in hoops and hockey.

@Van_Nuys100 @_davidskerr The average cost including camps and travel for a top 300 ncaa d1 prospect is $20k… it goes up to $30k for qbs… everyone bitching about soccer… average investment in euro academy player is $50k…. it’s almost as if becoming elite in any sport requires an investment.
