Keep something mind. All those people that came here probably had to spend at least $30,000 to come here, so they tended to be the more well-off, and thus more US-friendly.
The folks staying back home were continued to be fed the usual US-bashing from their media.
It's the best we've got. Demand that your cable provider make it more widely available.
The packaging those thugs have been doing is awful.
Watching soccer is like watching a chess match with live pieces who occasionally fake injuries.
To be fair, though, ice hockey is the ‘other’ sport of northern Europe, and basketball is becoming the ‘other’ sport of southern Europe—and enough people worldwide (outside the Commonwealth) are fascinated by baseball. We can tip our hat to soccer every once in a while, knowing that other sports are taking the hearts of other countries.
The soccer haters are more boring than the game itself. Bunch of whiners.
Just remember, Soccer is the sport of the future in America, and always will be, unless we import too many illegals.
Ice hockey has the same premise as hockey but is so much more fast and exciting. Plus, in North America, the players are permitted to drop the gloves and fight, unlike in Europe where they can’t fight, and resort to carving each other up with the sticks.
>far higher scoring
It isn’t really; multiplying one touchdown by 7 doesn’t make it higher scoring. Soccer is scored like hockey.
In football it’s for a good reason (we want a field goal to be just a bit less than a TD + extra point) but TDs per game isn’t much different than goals per soccer game. Ref https://wizardofodds.com/games/sports-betting/nfl/average-scores-2000-2020/
Yep.
Soccer is a sport for children not adults.
What it showed me is what I’ve been saying for 35 years since I first moved to Europe and lived in 4 countries on that continent. Their media is hopelessly biased and corrupt - even to the point of making the legacy media in the US look reasonable by way of comparison. They are especially bad about their coverage of the US. They will peddle outright lies and more commonly, lies by omission. For example if something works differently in the US than in Europe and that carries both advantages and disadvantages, they will gleefully tell their audience all about the disadvantages. The advantages are never even mentioned....as if they simply do not exist.
But they do.
And anybody who has actually lived in the states or even travelled much outside of the usual tourist hotspots (NYC, Disneyworld, San Francisco, LA....maybe miami or DC) can see it instantly. Even back in the early 90s, it took me less than a day of looking around to realize Americans are richer on average....and I was in Germany and Austria which are two of the richer countries on the continent. You don’t need an economist to tell that to you. You can see it. The gap has only grown wider since then.
I rather enjoy watching goalies diving to the exact opposite side of the goal from where the ball is going. Also, it’s so invigorating for the team on offense to kick the ball all the the way back to their own goal.😎
I THINK THE FASCINATION WITH RANCH DRESSING IS THE MOST FUN.
It’s a shame our visitors could not stay longer or even permanently.
