US has football ???

MLS

Major League Soccer. it does exist but most people ignore it. it's the smallest of the sport major leagues in America. Most americans stop caring about Soccer once they get to high school. it's mostly only played by kids here.

anyway I do not believe for one second that Trump ever was already watching Soccer.

MLS is basically the retirement home of previously good footballers who want a big paycheck

I still don't understand how this whole America, Canada, Mexico all hosting the World Cup thing is supposed to work. The hosting country always gets a free pass to qualify, so does that mean all three of us will get an auto placement? Plus I don't understand why they couldn't just pick one country in the first place.

I just wish they could get The Warning to do a cover of Ricky Martin's Cup of Life song which would be a perfect fit for the event since its a song in mostly Spanish with English parts and they are a Mexican band that sings in English.

More than likely they will all get in, yeah. The upcoming Euros was meant to be held across 12 different countries in Europe, although obviously that probably isn't happening now.

I'm not sure on this but I think they are disregarding the host automatically qualifies stipulation. The concacaf only has 3.5 spots which essentially would eliminate all the other teams which isn't fair. So I believe all 3 teams will have to qualify.

Good luck getting anyone in America to attend the matches if we don't qualify. I dont know how much Canada cares about soccer compared to America, but I know they sure as shit dont care as much as Mexico since they care more then both of us combined.

I read that as them not being allowed to stand, and thought "Honestly, fair for Gaetz to say." But of course he's actually against freedom of speech

It seems to be cared about a bit more than in the US, but it's still easily the least popular major sport after Hockey, Baseball, Football and Basketball and you never hear anything about MLS. Like if you go into a bar and they have soccer on it's going to be a European league or FIFA, never MLS. Hell, I can't even tell you the name of Toronto's MLS team, and if there's any other Canadian MLS teams I don't even know they exist.

Maybe everyone can kneel everywhere and Trump won't be able to consume media ever again.

That would be glorious.

We don't care all that much either. Its always gotten a little more exciting, since its the World Cup and all, but its never the biggest thing around, or even as big as when a Toronto team makes the playoffs. I've met a handful of people who beyond ecstatic that the World Cup is on tho.

That said, everyone loves getting to see live sports, especially if its important, so I'm sure a lot of people would turn up just to be in the crowd for a big game.

People haven't given a shit about basketball in nearly 20 years since they made it the handholding league and started penalizing people for actually playing defense. Not to mention the majority of the league is a bunch of nobodies now who most people wouldn't even notice if they were gone.

This is objectively not true; please don't post bullshit in this or any other topic.

For the record, football is by far the most popular sport in the US, with basketball in second, as measured by TV ratings
