Tim Howard has called out “Eurosnobs” in the USMNT fanbase 😳
Even before Johnny Cardoso got injured, Howard and Landon Donovan didn’t have him in their World Cup roster.
Fans didn’t like that, especially since they both included Sebastian Berhalter and Cristian Roldan.
Now that Johnny is definitely missing the World Cup, Howard has a response for those fans.
“Well, the soccer terminology for these fans that gave us stick are called Eurosnobs,” he said on this week’s Unfiltered Soccer podcast.
“So what a Eurosnob is anything that happens in Europe, and if a player's playing a big club, then they must play for your national team.
“And look maybe, maybe, but again, I'm looking at the same chart you're looking at, and I see just a lot of red. He's out with injury. He's not in the squad.
“When he does play again, we‘ve all had bad games, but against Türkiye, a poor, poor performance in 45 minutes.
“And the next game, we got pumped 4-0 [vs Switzerland] and he played the full 90.
“And then from then on, you know, there's 21 minutes in this game, nine minutes in that game, two minutes, 45 minutes, like I would love to see on here 90 minutes, 90 minutes, 80 minutes like, there's just no consistency.
“So the people who are giving us stick going, ‘You’re out of your mind,’ maybe. But that's not what his history and what [Mauricio] Pochettino is looking at when he looks at Cardoso.
“Like Poch also watches Atlético Madrid on TV. He sees these games, but he also calls him in and sees him in person, which is more important, and that's what we're judging this on.”
Howard played 13 years in England, and works for NBC Sports as their Premier League pundit.
However, he tries not to be biased and gives MLS players a lot of credit. And he’s not happy with “Eurosnobs” who keep undermining MLS players.
Does Howard have a point? 👀
If Republicans are against socialism then why is the public paying 70% of a $3 billion dollar stadium in Kansas? 🤔
Yet god forbid a single mom get food assistance.
It doesn’t make sense.
