If your answer to who is the greatest soccer player of all time is anyone other than Messi, you’re incorrect and need therapy. Those are the facts. Seek help immediately.
Mauricio Pochettino said that ‘American sports reward losers’ when asked about the style of play in top European nations vs. in the U.S. 😯🇺🇸
QUESTION: “We know how England, France, Spain play… Players from countries with a strong tradition have a recognizable style. What is the style of the US team? What kind of football do the Americans want to play?”
ANSWER: “Their culture is playful. They want to play. We told them, “Guys, playing soccer is one thing, competing is another.” They’re two completely different sports. They grow up in a culture of playing. Why? If you start in MLS and you haven’t won a game in three months and you’re at the bottom, what’s the consequence if there’s no promotion or relegation, no international competition? American sports reward losers! But soccer is different: if you reward those who don’t win… If you don’t have goals, you don’t fight. If I lose, what happens? Nothing. They just fire the coach. Also, the American player is disciplined. But with a sense of complacency that isn’t good in soccer. It took us a year and a half to change that mentality.”

Gaethje passing by Teddy Roosevelt, moments before he beats the shit out of the foreign sitting champion on the South Lawn in front of a crowd of 80,000. This is America.
New UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje dropped a legendary line after his HISTORIC upset over Illia Topuria.
Joe Rogan pointed out that he was a 6-1 underdog going into the fight.
GAETHJE: “Hey, I’m from America. 250 years ago we were WAY bigger than 6-1 dogs!”
“And look at us thriving now!”
“To all the current, former, and future military service members, thank you so much.”
“Thank you so much to all of the first responders, police officers, firefighters...you guys have no idea how grateful I am...”
“And all glory to God. I prayed so much for this opportunity, to do something legendary.”
“And I know that was absolutely legendary because I cannot even believe it.”
I don’t think Dana White and the UFC could have scripted a better night. Weather held up perfect. Production was out of this world. Every fight ends by KO capped off by the main event turning into a real life Rocky story with an American winning. 10/10 card #UFCWhiteHouse
