MURICA and Soccer

>How do we get soccer mainstream in America

As a war veteran this makes me sick.

What? Scared, that when USA gets soccer into mainstream we will be producing athletes like Lebrons and Tom Brady's into it everyday?

Say goodbye to ronaldo

make the sport more atractive and grab the best athletes to get into it

Tom Brady is not that great in terms of athleticism. He's just very intelligent.

damage limitations

Add timeouts, advertising and draw the match out for 4 hours

You've gotta be a mentally retarded nigger if you think LeBron is growing to 6'8 250 by playing soccer

When it pays better than actual football - good luck with that

>Tom Brady
>very intelligent

stop being shit

Pretty much this.
It would really help is the us team could place high in a large tournament but that becomes one of those chicken or the egg deals. Getting third in copa might help but after that piss poor showing with Argentina I don't know if it matters.

The USA women's team is pretty nuts but nobody gives a shit about that, I don't know what their competition looks like world wide though.

Falling for the "serve your country" meme doesn't give your opinion any more weight. In fact it makes you seem like a rube.

That's a perfect body for defense and goalie, moron.

Our athletes are on a different league from the rest of the world.

t. 4-0

Yea but our soccer culture is still growing and hasn't taken off yet. Yours is developed.

>How do we get soccer mainstream in America

We can't. Best case scenario, it becomes another hockey, where it's a niche sport largely confined to one ethnic group (Mexicans for soccer, northern whites for hockey).

t. 4-0

There is only 1 gringo in dat team. If you let your negroes and chicanos to take all soccer you will never improve in it

then why is Brazil so good

We have 4 major sports that are all vastly superior. Who the fuck wants to watch this fairy european garbage? GTFO of my country Pablo

>far people play catch for 6 seconds and then 10 minutes of commercials-repeat

>Boringball non sport where everyone is on steroids and is Dominican

>hockey is Canadian and is not popular in us

>basketball is actually pretty good

FUTBOL is superior and played by the entire world

Because Portugal has a shit manager that doesn't have a clue about football. Called the sacred cows instead of actual in form players.
But the worst part is that he doesn't field the best players he called. He plays two wingers as full backs, when there's solid options on the bench.
He doesn't play the full Sporting CP midfield, which is really in form and they have been playing together for years.
But i don't care about those fuckers, may they get knocked out on saturday.
Portugal will win gold medal in the olympics. That's the real national team, those lads are really pleasing to watch. They play with passion, they play dominant football.
And obviously there's the under 17 european champions a couple of months a go. So yeah, the future is bright :)
The FA just needs to stop hiring managers without balls and go for a foreign one, which doesn't give him to club and agent pressures to play certain players like the last 3 turds that managed Portugal

>FUTBOL is superior and played by the entire world
because it's physically and mentally inferior to all of them

if you had ever been to an MLS game you'd know that most fans are white

None of the Canadian Teams made the playoffs this year :(
Most of the actual hockey players on US teams are Canadian though.

Most American soccer fans don't watch MLS, they watch Liga MX, La Liga, or the Premier League.

Massively tall guys tend to be slow as shit and their ball control is subpar. This is why you don't see that many freakishly tall players in football, not even as goalkeepers.

>avoiding NCAA system
whats that?

Which American non-soccer athlete would make the best soccer player?

Thanks to Brexit, MLS is gonna get a lot more interesting.

Pay me 25k monthly and give me Alex Morgan, just wait and you will have a good USA squad.

How so? Good or bad?

scrap MLS and then rework the soccer pyramid from the bottom up.

>How do we get soccer mainstream in America
how about not getting REKT so hard?

Nobody cares about this faggot shit.

Inevitably it will.

There's more money in soccer then any sport in the world.

For that reason alone it will eventually take hold here.

*than

stupid phone

You need to be catholic to be good at football, sorry americans

>Basketball is actually pretty good
This, basketball is the only good and entertaining to watch american sport.

And it's the only one with any semblance of an international footprint.

Handegg has peaked.

Boreball is dying.

Soccer and basketball will be 1 and 2 in 20 years.

most of baseball is white and the steroid era ended a long time ago. players themselves have estimated that only 10% of the modern league is taking something. so yeah you could have just said you don't know shit, you filthy fucking immigrant.

Go back to Mexico, Pablo.

Add blocking and tackling like football.

Other than that, you can take this faggoty ass sport for pussies and stick up your ass.

>ameripoops

>Boreball is dying.

if it keeps slipping then the league will look the other way on PEDs again.

US-played pro sports cannot die. Billionaires own these teams, there's too much money involved

Costs too much to play fubol in america, it's considered a rich person's sport there

sort of, but not really. You see all types in the recreational leagues.

but you should see some of the complexes we have, just for recreational adult leagues and huge tournaments for the kids and teens. 24 full fields, all maintained well. Most Americans think that the game should widen the goals for more scoring, because we can afford to just buy 48 new goals. The rest of the world has kids playing on dirt and goals cemented into the ground 35 years ago

>if it keeps slipping

Baseball popularity isn't slipping.

Don't.

Having a unique sporting culture is infinitely more valuable than being good at divegrass

It's considered a little kid's game

Get rid of basketball baseball football and hockey, then all the athletes have to play soccer

Please stop using my name friends. I happen to be a big aficionado of baseball and hockey. I do enjoy watching international soccer as well, but as an American I root for the US of course. Thanks

>why is Brazil so good
they're not

why don't you hire an Argie coach? almost all of south america is doing it and they're all playing good

I mean look at Chile and Colombia. they went from jokes to some of the best teams in the world.

Bielsa would do great with incorporating the youth players and making them future GOATs

this can't be real

it will be pretty hard without tradition, similar like if we would want to make baseball or american football popular in europe

Just stop trying, America
It's a Euro thing you will never understand

it's a euro thing, yet the winningest world cup nation is a bunch of beaners best known for their big butt competitions. that said i do wish my fellow americans would stop trying to get into this semen slurping sport.

About 30-40 years after your schools look like this, and you might have developed by then a sensible base, a solid league and a competitive national team.

what kind of rinky dink basketball hoop is that? at our schools they are cemented into the ground.

>Poortugal

wtf happened to Pitbull, I figured he'd keep the job for a while after looking good at the 2014 WC

They're multipurpose.

>Serra education

Go back in time

Tell the English immigrants playing a variant of rounders called BASEBALL circa 1855 to not be such retards

Give them soccer instead

Clubs pop up everywhere as soccer fever consumes the nation

National Soccer League officially inaugurated 1870, a decade plus before England does the same

And done. Baseball doesn't exist. American Rules Football may or may not exist. NBA comes around later, but soccer is the #1 sport in the country and has a rich 150 year history and we have 2 world cups by now.

Why America is not playing Rugby like a normal nation? You can keep Beyonce at the half-time if you want.

>wants it mainstream
>calls it soccer
How new?

>Tom Brady
>Athlete
I mean he works out, sure. But that's fucking blasphemous to put a whiteboy quarterbacks name among Lebron James, at least say JJ Watt. Fucking quarterback, gtfo

Haha haha

Boreball fans are so comically oblivious. It's adorable

Underrated and misunderstood post.

It's growing pretty quickly. Give it another 20 years.

>tfw chipping it into the hoop for bonus points

our schools have hoops, baseball fields and soccer fields with actual grass

Even though he's retired Allen Iverson I think would be a monster. And there's a handful of point guards who could be great players in an alternate universe where they dedicated their life to football (not eggball)

And a few eggball players could be speedy bulky football players. Ronaldo de Lima was kind of bulky about 6'1 and was probably the greatest to play with great skills and the size to knock people over

Soccer will never be popular in the US because it's a faggot sport.

And we are U21 champs. Ser how little that tells you until they actually produce at the highest level?

>amerishits

What is american currently doing with all of their under 6 foot athletes? considering the size of the us and that fact that their major sports are played by mutant behemoths the us should be dominating. The main issues seem to be: soccer is for rich kids, ncaa instead of academies, the fact american coaches can only coach athleticism and not skill (case in point european vs american big men in basketball)

theres no money and fame in soccer. its the 5th sport and really irrelevant

>athletes like Lebrons and Tom Brady's
Throwing a ball does not make you an athlete.

>the fact american coaches can only coach athleticism and not skill

Top meme, lad

>Throwing a ball does not make you an athlete.

jogging around aimlessly and occasionally kicking a ball doesn't either though brev

>with actual grass
>not playing in concrete or raw soil
are you pussies?

You just have to turn one major city into football, with simmilar number of people like Croatia :D :D :D

>tfw goalie on concrete pitch

an argentine manager for your NT. you will have better resultS= more fans in the nation= more people playing in it = more money invested = more quality players= league improvement

Keep building it and it will come.

Success in the CONCACAF Champions League would be a good short-term goal.

How do we get soccer to be mainstream in a capitalist society.

I'm no genius but I would think paying soccer players more would help.

>How do we get soccer mainstream in America
Fatter players

argentine manager, chile was almost as bad like you guys before bielsa , sampaoli and pizzi

They're probably getting their bones broken and becoming crippled at young ages playing eggball. Or they make it to college eggball and don't make it to the pros. Either way a lot of those guys are probably playing the typical eggball, basketball, baseball, instead of football

This this this

Soccer development should like baseball. There should be several levels of leagues and hundreds of minor league teams. With one big league at the top. And relegation too. Stay the fuck away from the NCAA $$$ system.

You must have never played football, it's a fucking work out. Way more tiring than playing basketball, and definitely more tiring than playing eggball.

Play world football
>Running up and down a large field continuously
>Tons of micromovements
> Less break time

Or be a fucking eggball quarterback
>Line up, say hut
>Throw a fucking ball
>Be smart enough to run a team and know whats going on
>Take some punishment sometimes
>After play is over take a break and huddle up
>Repeat

I mean if you're going to somehow force that meme that eggball quarterbacks are nearly in the same athletic league as recievers/safetys, basketball players, football players, think about it. How the fuck is somebody who specializes in throwing a fucking eggball going to translate that into become a world class football player?

There's not an eggball quarterback in the National Eggball League that could play any other sport besides possibly baseball throwing a ball

A lot of NBA point guards would be good midfielders or forwards if they had trained from when they were kids. They have great footwork/vision, they're fast, and they're usually the perfect height to be be effective soccer players (5'11"-6'2" range).

>What is american currently doing with all of their under 6 foot athletes?

Some of them are playing baseball, but most of them just quit sports in high school.

But NFL quarterbacks get the benefit of the huddle and knowing what play the team is going to run. He also gets time to adjust the formation prior to the snap, not to mention protection from his offensive line, which usually gives him time to find a receiver and make a pass. A midfielder in soccer has to figure out where his teammates will be on the fly, and he doesn't get any protection either.

you need to ask yourselves why did you have one of the best professional leagues in the world in the 1920s, how did you get 4th place in the first WC and what the fuck happened after

But a midfielder in soccer is also a complete athlete so....................................................
