@Jermainejunior@njrealtornic Politics, ego and coaching. Also, a lot of those athletes don't have the chance to play because their parents can't afford it.
Christian Pulisic posted a picture of him and his USA teammates in prayer after their World Cup win.
His USA teammate Mark McKenzie, who led the prayer, replied to the post referencing Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.
So amazing to see USA players praying and sharing scripture.

@11Yanks Feels like the dude is looking for attention.. I don't watch McAfee so I never heard of the guy before. He's looking for attention. There are some Aussies talking s*** though.
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.”

Every passenger on @united 404 from Houston to Newark will think twice about using that airline again. Delayed , diverted , reboarded, then pilot says shift ‘ timed out’ as about to take off from Dulles. Still there 5 hours later. No hotel offer.
What the World Cup has shown us so far: Propaganda has worked immensely.
Americans are taught that our country is nothing special.
Europeans are taught that America is a horrible country.
Europeans visiting are reminding us that none of it is true.
I keep saying. X is concentrated malcontents who make hating America a personality (and other countries who want to run ops to divide us). It’s not reality. Normie Americans love this country.
