2022 FIFA World Cup - Qatar, November 21-December 18

[Suburbia]

I will be watching the World Cup to see how far US men go in soccer.

American men in general don't care for soccer, looking at the way American sports personalities like Mike Francesa, Craig Carton, etc. have been making fun of the sport.

Look at how US women's soccer gets made fun of.

American men like football, baseball, basketball, hockey, NASCAR.

Shows how exceptional America is, because we ARE different than the world.

Like how baseball is the Dominican Republic's sport, hockey is Canada's sport, soccer is the rest of the world's sport.

When you have rightwingers like Alexi Lalas pushing for his fellow rightwingers to get into the sport, shows how far US men's soccer has to go..

You have very political competitors in your group

One of them is a geopolitical enemy of yours, member of the "Axis of Evil"
The other is a former imperialist superpower which colonized you
And the other is... a neighbor of this former imperialist superpower which according to UN and not FIFA belongs to the same nation state

True. It is a truly crazy thing.

America hosted the Cup in 1994 and that was supposed to the break out for the country to be interested in men's soccer....

28 years later, it's still a tall task, but I think by 2040, soccer will be a favorite in America.

Gridiron football is still king in America

Baseball is the leading sport in a hell of a lot more than just the Dominican Republic. Ice hockey is the leading sport in Finland and Latvia (maybe Belarus?) and basketball is the #1 sport in Lithuania and the Philippines (lol). Australia and Ireland have both indigenous sports and English sports. And South Africa has the racial divide that supports multiple sports. America is hardly exceptional.

Not to mention the US is actually a huge market for watching soccer. It's just playing professionally that is not on the radar.

With American men.....

The talk from Americans about Qatar's human rights issues is peak hypocrisy, especially coming from Americans.

Yes, I am an American, and I am proud of it, but America has a lot of problems.

We're hosting the 2026 World Cup and all of our problems will be talked about then to the rest of the world.

Women don't have access to abortion in half of the country, police and citizens don't get along, etc.

So the FIFA chairman was probably right, that America and yes, European nations should not speak about certain things...

Alexi Lalas is a patriot.

America and England in a 0-0 draw...

US faces Iran on Tuesday

A test.

Will the left and right wing pick sides in this one?

Ha.

[Suburbia]

Pulisic is a patriot.

Also, England is not overrated, they have Mount and Kane, etc. Those are talented guys.

Congratulations Argentina 🇦🇷
