When you realize there were elite snipers positioned around the stadium during the Spain vs. Argentina game ๐ณ
I guess this is considered a normal football game in the US ๐ญ
The reason soccer is "the world's most popular sport" is that it's the cheapest one.
All you need is a ball. That burned out car over there is one goal and that dumpster over there is the other.
You don't need any equipment. You don't even need shoes. Kids with no hands can play soccer.
Most of the best players seem to be from Third World countries where they live in mudhuts and wear Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl Champions shirts every day.
Stop talking to me about what a beautiful, sophisticated game it is. It isn't. Yes, there are plays. There are plays in every sport. But football, basketball and baseball are far, far more sophisticated and require greater skill and athleticism than soccer, and you people sound like idiots trying to claim otherwise.
A group of foreigners expressed curiosity about your home. But you didnโt realize thatโs how they show interest and welcoming to strangers per their cultural norms. So who really lacks world awareness?
I found Americans all pretty friendly when I was out there..but bar far the most grating thing about them is the general lack of world awareness and thinking that they are the centre of the universe.
I got asked among other things if we had cities, black people and Uber. ๐
Random observations from a European in America:
- AC is manโs greatest creation
- You can get pretty much anything you need on Amazon and have it delivered in a day or 2
- Biscuits and gravy is definitely not what you think (but itโs good af)
- Trucks are everywhere and they are MASSIVE
- Hotdogs are made of beef here
- Pharmaceutical ads are weird
- All their snacks have โflamin hotโ varieties for some reason (theyโre all bad)
- People in general seem happier and more positive here
- Bar tabs are dangerous and we canโt be trusted with them ๐
