@drdonoghue “We’ve got boats! And a football teams that has won anything since the 60s”
Using football teams as a gauge means that Argentina isn’t in hyperinflation…because Messi
@robertoblake This is such a bad take. Ad Block is a reaction to oversaturated ads. AB doesn't stop in-content sponsorship, or the ability for a creator to promote merch. It stops an unfair power balance between YT and the creator. In Napster vs Metallica, don't be Metallica
@mccort_shawn@USMNT Dest, Brooks, Sargent were all 1st team players who weren't at the Gold Cup but featured before or right after. I'm not arguing that the 2019 pool was very thin, but the Gold Cup has always been a tourney for fringe players.
@mccort_shawn@USMNT That’s a stretch. While Pulisic was there, Weston was not a starter. Ream was the only other major Euro based player there. Everyone else was MLS. That was one step above an Olympic squad.
15,17 were all C+, B- squad. If Tyler Boyd or Zardes are in your squad it is never A
@TuckerJobs719@USMNT We never have sent our ‘A team’ to the Gold Cup. European teams are already back, and the big players need to be working on transfers.
The quality of the Gold Cup would have no benefit for the best players, and could risk injury to semi pros
@mccort_shawn@USMNT That’s exactly what it had been for the past 4 Gold Cups. Due the European calendar we never take first team players/first team. This is our fringe players chance. They don’t get many chances
@ZGalo35@fozznaut @rockntherice @GEODISPark While I find the USMNT ticket price absolutely ridiculous (as a Brit living in the US, I find everything about soccer here offensively expensive), El Tri fans pack the stadiums in the US. Do they get different pricing for US stadia?
@david__raleigh @rockntherice It needs to be somewhere with a team. That way there is already a soccer following, and season ticket holders can get access. ATL or Charlotte would have likely push 50k attendees
