(pacmanghost x) sad again
I really don't like clubs from Mexico. At all.
And yes I know I probably had to word this carefully, but I really just don't.

A 0-0 tie in a game where one opponent outshoots the other 20 to 1 is pretty much why soccer's never taken off in America.
I guess it's a catch-22 kind of thing. The best players won't play in the U.S. (until their quasi retirement age) because soccer is not big enough in the U.S., and the lack of the best players in the world keeps the U.S. from being more interested in it.
Nailed it. The United States is not where you go if you're a top player in your prime.
You go full Giovinco and go to Canada.
I'm very happy with where MLS is right now - would I love it if the league were among the powerhouse leagues? Of course. Would I love it were producing more Pulisic-level (hell even prime Jermaine Jones-level) talent for the USMNT? Of course.
But at the end of the day, as fans we can only control as much as we can control. It still is just entertainment for me. I am happy that I get to watch the Almiron's, Valeri's, Nikolic's, Alessandrini's of the world battle it out with the likes of Giovinco, Vela, Dos Santos', etc. with a sprinkle of elite level out of prime talent (with some juice in the tank) like the Henry's, Villa's, Ibra's, Keane's of the world.
And I get to see it for an extremely reasonable price.
I know, I don't doubt it, and it's because you are knowledgeable enough to watch a 0-0 game and still see good things being done in the game. But to the "new fan" they are like ¨scoring chances and goals equals action"
Overheard some guys talking this morning in the caf saying a large group of Mexican fans jumped a bunch of people inside and out of the stadium .
It's not a family friendly environment over there and they need to do something about it.

Just those fans indulging in that homophobic gay bashing chant on the goal kicks alone completely validates your opinion to me.I really don't like clubs from Mexico. At all.

oh, you mean the highlight of the blue****e's season? not losing to liverpool in the league? in between liverpool smashing man city 5-1 over two legs to advance to champions league semis? i'll survive.
it's hilarious how that was literally the biggest game of their season, while it wasn't even liverpool's biggest game of the week.
oh and liverpool still knocked everton out of the fa cup.
this thread can be about how the yankees suck and the mets are taking back new york in april or something tho.
So, just for fun, opinion on best player of all time?
Maradona for me. Mostly because he had to protect the ball through tackles which are considered illegal today, and did so better than anybody, ever.

From the the players I've seen play in my lifetime it's Zidane. Love these players who are not only perfect technically but think the game better than anyone else in their generation.
Where is the next World Cup?
Russia.
2022? Qatar, apparently.
2026 hopefully is the USA/Canada/Mexico as joint hosts. That bid is very much in full swing.
