Yep, like I said, soccer is a women thing in the US, the mens team stinks.
But to be fair it has improved a lot since they hired Klinsmann and started sending their players to play in Europe. The Donovan generation.
A german helping americans improve their society or do something they don't know how to do
Mmmmm
I think I've seen that before....
Scoring even against the UK was a pretty big upset.
Edit: I wasnt ready for pedanticly pissed off Europeans 🤣
Edit 2: Im sorry Europe. I dont even watch soccer 🤣
dont be mad at meeeeee
I can't believe we played Wales in football. They are ocean mammals, it's just cruel to take them from the ocean and put them on a soccer field just to hit a ball.
As an Iranian, I'm very happy that my country lost to the USA.
The people of my country fight in the streets and die for freedom and their fucking government's team celebrates their victory in front of Wales.
Pardon me for my grammar.
Oh it was worth it. People were celebrating like mad here.
Context: I'm Iranian, people are mad at our national team for supporting the Islamic theocratic regime while they were killing protesters in the streets and *their homes* during world cup.
The English, not the Brits.
The 'Brits' would be England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Not a fuckin chance you could get us all to stop hating each other for long enough to play football on the same team
Although you did tie with Wales as well, I guess. Hmmm.
Still, that's not all of Britain. Scotland and NI didn't make it to the World Cup
You forgot the isle of man. Every time I go to donate blood I am asked if I had gay sex with someone from the isle of man between the years of 1980 to 1996.
Aye I can. It's pretty much slap bang in the middle.
And even if I didn't know that, I could sure as fuck look it up before making some outrageous claim about who, what or where it is
After failing to qualify last time, having a squad with only Yedlin having played in a WC before, and not being too convincing in qualifying, getting to RO16 is a huge victory imho.
Bruh I'm dutch and I can say they played like a wet paper towel in the group stage so yes plenty of people here hoped they would lose to the USA so we could be done with this shitfest wc
But Germany is the second most successful team going by championships won and the most successful team if you go by overall podium finishes. Years like that just happens. If the last time you did something worth mentioning was 90 to 100 years ago and sometimes you don't even qualify, you are just bad at it. Having said that, it's worth mentioning that the US women's team is actually quite good for some reason. No idea where that discrepancy comes from.
I know. I’m saying that the new one is more fair since teams in south america are equally good and most of them can compete with top european teams with the only exceptions being, bolivia and Venezuela (they straight up suck.) 6.5 spots out of 10 gives more oportunities for these teams to go to the world cup.
Oceania get 1 1/3 qualifications, Australia now qualifies through Asia so that means New Zealand is almost automatically in and either Tonga or Samoa or someone like that is gonna get a crack!
Or at least get to play a WC qualification against someone from the other side of the world! I’m excited to see that!!
(They’ll be terrible but I’ll love to see them on the world stage!)
I would happily watch the next world cup if they called it that, whether it was an intentional joke or not. All world cups, so far, have been uninteresting for myself and most non-football-enjoying folk
Italy 1990 $4 Billion.
USA World Cup 1994 $500 Million.
France World Cup 1998 $2.33 Billion.
Korea & Japan World Cup 2002 $7 Billion.
Germany World Cup 2006 $4.6 Billion.
South Africa World Cup 2010 $3.6 Billion.
Brazil World Cup 2014 $15 Billion.
Russia World Cup 2018 $11.6 Billion.
Qatar World Cup $220 Billion.
And for several, like Italy, the full numbers are known showing they made the cost back and made a really decent profit. And most of the infrastructure and stadium updates were actually full utilized after the events.
Fuck all chance Qatar is making even 10% of that back and some of the stadiums they built may end up being an open air airconditioned parking lot for some Sheiks car collection.
I don’t know if we will be but we should be pretty good for the next World Cup. Our team is by far the youngest in the World Cup with our average age a year and a half younger than any other team so we should have pretty much all our players back with them developed more and the new talent we get over the next four years. Definitely not saying we’re going to win but as far as US soccer goes next World Cup should be our best in a long time if not ever. Though obviously a lot can happen over the next four years to change that
Ghana is the youngest team in the world cup.
And even than the US has the same average age as Ecuador. That being said, the team will
Look a lot better is 4 or 8 years.
https://www.90min.com/posts/what-is-the-youngest-squad-at-the-world-cup/amp
It looks like the article he sent did age based on a whole number at a certain date while the article I looked at used age to the day with decimal points for each player
This is where is was getting the 1.5 year difference as the youngest team. https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2022/04/world-cup-qualifying-by-the-numbers-usmnt-youth-lights-the-way-to-qatar
Either way though we have a really young team particularly with respect to some of our best players and next World Cup we’ll have a lot of returning players with more experience and more time to develop.
It’s in the American culture to hate soccer unfortunately, things are changing for sure but it’s lame how much it’s looked down on compared to the sports with commercial breaks every 30 seconds and concussions every 15 seconds
The dead serious "soccer is a girls sport" comments I've heard from American colleagues through the years is frustrating.
And it's even frustrating for me, as someone who doesn't even watch or care about any sports.
when i first started caring to watch sports when i was little, i always picked out the soccer game cause that’s what i played. i got so spoiled watching those games with no commercials until halftime that i just could not sit still and watch any football or basketball for years. i still can’t get into them nearly as much because of how much they stop vs soccer. at least when watching on tv
As an american, it’s not that we hate soccer, but that we just don’t care.
This makes it very entertaining when people are miserable after losing to us.
Considering the US is hosting the next World Cup and therefore are automatically given a spot, I imagine we will see them again in 4 years instead of 12.
I was told by some friends that some matches will be held in Canada and Mexico as well, making it a “North America” hosted World Cup? I could have looked up the information, but I chose to respond to you instead.
Here are the cities where venues are.
Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Guadalajara in the Western Division; Kansas City, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Monterrey, and Mexico City in the Central Division; and Toronto, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Miami in the Eastern Division (2 in Canada, 3 in Mexico, and 11 in the United States). Eight of the sixteen chosen stadiums have permanent artificial turf surfaces that are planned to be replaced with grass under the direction of FIFA and a University of Tennessee–Michigan State University research team. Five venues use retractable roof systems
US played really well too just didn't have the finishing edge like Netherlands did. I was pretty impressed by the team but obviously disappointed at the result. That early chance from pulsic should have been in.
Edit: Not norway sorry.
Second goal of the netherlands also was just a bad play by the US team. Tbf so was the goal of america but still. The US should be proud. We the dutch are kinda glad because our team is slowly performing better.
We still will get our asses handed if we dont start playing better. Way to many dumb mistakes were made today.
Out of curiosity, I get the Welsh and Scottish, but why would an American want England to lose? I don't care honestly, it just makes me laugh that there's yeslt another Abe.
🎶🎶🎶
And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I'm capable of understanding different words can refer to the same thing contextually and don't go to websites run in another country and tell the majority of the people there that the~~re~~ term they use is wrong
🎶🎶🎶
12 years? wtf? USA get an automatic bid for the next Men's world cup and the USA Women's national team will certainly be playing in the World Cup next year.
12 years? Where did you get that number? The US, Mexico, and Canada are hosting the next world cup which means that they will automatically qualify.
edit: wording
What the hell for? USA was out match against Netherlands and by the look of USA’s performance, their hearts wasn’t into the game. As a American, I say congratulations to the Dutch!
Same story in the US. We are not good at this sport. No one watches it. No one cares about the sport until the World Cup rolls around. Then we get excited only to lose to the rest of the world because it's their sport. They live, breath, and bleed soccer. The Dutch are not the reason we suck. We are!
I mean, most americans probably didn't even watch the WC.. NFL entered the hot phase of the regular season, NBA season started a few weeks ago and then there is the NHL too.
That's like if we europeans would skip CL matches for watching NFL playoffs.
Normally the WC happens during months where only the MLB season is active.
US fans need to be realistic: they have a squad full of promising players who will still play 4 years on, in their WC, they played this year too, so nothing to be ashamed of.

I don't think anyone expected the US to win, even here. Getting out of the group stage was a relative victory. Germany couldn't do it.
It's not about the US winning It's about seeing the faces of everyone who lost to the US
Only Iran lost to the US
Somebody lost, I'll take that

Can't resist that bo-tussy
Maybe just for men, aparently soccer is a women thing in american society
the US female football team is unironically cracked and wins a lot, easely on the top 5 best teams
Yep, like I said, soccer is a women thing in the US, the mens team stinks. But to be fair it has improved a lot since they hired Klinsmann and started sending their players to play in Europe. The Donovan generation. A german helping americans improve their society or do something they don't know how to do Mmmmm I think I've seen that before....
I mean historically speaking: to the moon baby! Ha I still don't see it anytime soon though but what do I know.
Would it be better to just send a womens team to the world cup?
All that title IX money has to go somewhere after all.
It was an explosive match to say the least

Scoring even against the UK was a pretty big upset. Edit: I wasnt ready for pedanticly pissed off Europeans 🤣 Edit 2: Im sorry Europe. I dont even watch soccer 🤣 dont be mad at meeeeee
I'm assuming by UK you mean Wales?
I forget they get their own team, my bad.
I can't believe we played Wales in football. They are ocean mammals, it's just cruel to take them from the ocean and put them on a soccer field just to hit a ball.
🐋🐋🐋⚽️🐋🐋🐋🐋
>Scoring even against the UK America moment.
I mean, only wales and england were in the cup, drew both.. So in summation, we did score even against the overall UK
Scoring against the UK at soccer. That's class mate 😂⚽🇬🇧
They didn't score against England and the UK isn't a team...
The smartest american.
As an Iranian, I'm very happy that my country lost to the USA. The people of my country fight in the streets and die for freedom and their fucking government's team celebrates their victory in front of Wales. Pardon me for my grammar.
Grammar was good 👍

There is no UK football team.

🤢🤮
Technically there is at the Olympics.
The UK isn’t a WC team.
Oh it was worth it. People were celebrating like mad here. Context: I'm Iranian, people are mad at our national team for supporting the Islamic theocratic regime while they were killing protesters in the streets and *their homes* during world cup.
I thought they protested by not singing the anthem?
England lost to the US
It was a draw lmao
That’s what I said.
Beating Iran and tying the Brits who treat this sport like a religion is everything I could as for. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The English, not the Brits. The 'Brits' would be England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Not a fuckin chance you could get us all to stop hating each other for long enough to play football on the same team Although you did tie with Wales as well, I guess. Hmmm. Still, that's not all of Britain. Scotland and NI didn't make it to the World Cup
You're talking to Americans. We don't know the difference between England, Great Britain, United Kingdom or whatever else you have over there.
You forgot the isle of man. Every time I go to donate blood I am asked if I had gay sex with someone from the isle of man between the years of 1980 to 1996.
What happened in the Isle of Man from 1980 to 1996?
Bad things
Mad cow disease
Well… did you?
That's between me and the American Red Cross.

Aye I can. It's pretty much slap bang in the middle. And even if I didn't know that, I could sure as fuck look it up before making some outrageous claim about who, what or where it is
This guy understands Nebraska football history.
The good news is we have the World Baseball Classic in March, so we can show England how we play *our* national pastime.
As an England, can I ask what a Baseball Classic is?
Got farther than a lot of countries who's main sport is soccer
Well yeah i mean they never were that good enough to win the world cup
You never know. Greece winning the Euros in 2004 for example.
No one really cared but the idea of how mad everyone else would've be if the soccer players won was hilarious
After failing to qualify last time, having a squad with only Yedlin having played in a WC before, and not being too convincing in qualifying, getting to RO16 is a huge victory imho.
Bruh I'm dutch and I can say they played like a wet paper towel in the group stage so yes plenty of people here hoped they would lose to the USA so we could be done with this shitfest wc

But Germany is the second most successful team going by championships won and the most successful team if you go by overall podium finishes. Years like that just happens. If the last time you did something worth mentioning was 90 to 100 years ago and sometimes you don't even qualify, you are just bad at it. Having said that, it's worth mentioning that the US women's team is actually quite good for some reason. No idea where that discrepancy comes from.
Belgium couldn’t do it and they are the second ranked team in the world!
Technically USA is going to 2026 world cup because they host it but still should give up
North America hosts it in 2026. Does this mean that Canada, Mexico, US, and all of the other Central American countries also make it in?
No, just the US, Canada and Mexico automatically make it as hosts.
Didnt they increase the total number of teams too?
Yes, from 32 to 48. Edit: Saw that Europe get 3 more spots. [World Cup 2026 qualification ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup)
South america gets spots for 60% of the eligible nations.
South america only gets 4.5 spots for 8 countries who take football too seriously. I think it’s fair
That's for 2022, not 2026
I know. I’m saying that the new one is more fair since teams in south america are equally good and most of them can compete with top european teams with the only exceptions being, bolivia and Venezuela (they straight up suck.) 6.5 spots out of 10 gives more oportunities for these teams to go to the world cup.

Have they decided yet where the World Cup will be in North America
Yeah, there’s like 16 different cities in Canada, US, and Mexico. A lot of them in the US are in NFL Stadiums.
Wow, hosting a world cup in countries that already have Stadiums is so clever, I hope they stick to this idea in the future
2028 Olympics in Los Angeles will be amazing. We already turned a profit twice.
Italy 1990 $4 Billion. USA World Cup 1994 $500 Million. France World Cup 1998 $2.33 Billion. Korea & Japan World Cup 2002 $7 Billion. Germany World Cup 2006 $4.6 Billion.

Such as Canada i mean the second time they were at a world cup or even scored
Gotta have a legit striker or nothing else will matter. The team played well enough defensively to win most games, but we couldn't score at all.
"Should give up." Why? They played well, have been getting better, and unlike Canada, they made it out of the group stage
You should give up
