Nothing. The rest of the world doesn’t have any other options...
“Nothing. The rest of the world doesn’t have any other options...”
We have a winner!!!!”
Realize, for most of history, most of the world was poor as sh*t - that even includes almost all of Europe after WWII.
All you need for soccer is some semblance of a ball, and a bunch of people. The rest of the world has the latter in abundance, and can usually come up with a ball of some sorts.
But why would Americans want to invest any physical and emotional energy in a game that commonly ends in a 0 -0 tie, where the winner is decided by whether the goalie can guess what side a striker will put the ball in a shootout, when we can participate in any number of real sports?
Plus any game in which you have to pretend you’re paraplegic isn’t just wrong, it’s decidedly anti-American.
