Europeans crying for the past 4 years:

“A World Cup in the United States sucks, stadiums will be empty”

The games in the United States so far:

@JakeTheHiGuy Is not that MLS is commercialized, PSG, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Man United, all of these teams are commercialized. The problem is that the MLS is a fairly new league and people don’t see the teams as “traditional”, in 50 years they will

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

What’s up with Americans wanting to support a team from England instead of your local team? The Premier League is great, watch it, but pick your own local MLS team, go to the stadium and have a good time. Soccer isn’t going to grow here if you just watch foreign leagues

[Donté L. Stallworth @DonteStallworth]

It’s time, I need to pick a Premier League team!

I’ve been locked into the World Cup since I was drafted in ‘02 and the global games from Copa to Euros to AFCON for over a decade

Narrowed it down to: Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, or Man Utd.

Who should I choose & why?

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

@utblukas @210LDN1905 Imagine their local MLS team making it to the FIFA Club World Cup and playing against, idk, Chelsea or Arsenal, they’d probably root for the PL team. Insane stuff

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

@utblukas @210LDN1905 Thanks man, finally someone trying to explain this to them that aren’t American. They wouldn’t understand someone being a fan of a team in the EFL 2, or a relegated team in Argentina. Soccer (football) will never grow in the U.S. with the glory chasing fans

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

@DaveyC0879 @csett13 The entire world hates the US and yet we had a good share of English, Scottish, Moroccan, Argentinian, Brazilian, Bosnian fans, and from all over the world, but the only country with barely any fans is France

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

@BostonConnr Overseas? Get real

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

Dallas (Arlington) was the luckiest host city by far… Messi, Ronaldo, Lamine Yamal, Salah, Haaland, Bellingham/Kane, and now Mbappé

Let’s gooooo

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

@starsnstripesfc Really hoping the next Copa América is in the U.S. or Mexico

[🇺🇸🇫🇷🇳🇴 @starsnstripesfc]

Lots of ⚽️ to come. You don’t have to wait until 2030 this time. Join us!

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

Mbappé is probably going to play in the MLS when he’s like 37 unless the U.S. Soccer allows the teams to play in the Copa Libertadores

[FanDuel Sportsbook @FDSportsbook]

Kylian Mbappé to MLS? 🇺🇸⚽️

The global superstar says Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham has mentioned the possibility many times.

#France | #FIFAWorldCup

@csett13 It was half time, it usually gets pretty empty during or after half time

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

Well, fuck this guy then

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Achraf Hakimi, the captain of the Morocco national team, will stand trial for rape in France. He is accused of raping a 24-year-old French woman in Paris, and could face up to 15 years in prison.

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

@FeCityfan Who said you can’t the PL or any European (or South American) league? You can do both

[ChiTown Shogun @ChiTownShogun]

EU during world cup: Fuck the US, worst country in the world
EU when its war time: US please help us daddy

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

If the USA, Canada and Mexico want to truly compete and become better they need to push for a merger between CONCACAF and CONMEBOL.

Imagine the USMNT playing 🇧🇷 in Maracaná, 🇦🇷 in El Monumental or 🇨🇴 in El Metropolitano. It’s the only way to get mentally stronger

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

@Rickyfoureyes2 Parcero, you can watch Barça, wear the jersey and enjoy La Liga or whatever big team you like, but you’re lying to these people by saying Colombians wouldn’t take their local teams over the glory chasing clubs in Europe. Ask a DIM, Junior, Nacional fan about it

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

@bhonda805 @Rickyfoureyes2 No, they’ll take their local clubs over any team, period. Some people love to watch Barça, Madrid, and wear jerseys from other clubs around the world but their true clubs are the ones they go see every weekend

[yimbyman @yimbyman]

@KarinaSays Unless you’re Canadian, you need to sit down because that’s your country lmao

🚨JUST IN: The US has expressed interest in hosting the 2029 Club World Cup

FIFA wants to expand the Club World Cup to 48 teams in 2029

[Chris Kessell @THEChrisKessell]

Alexi continues to act like there isn't a pathway to fixing it.

There is. He knows it.

It is just easier to side with billionaire owners over children.
