Fuckin International Flopping Association

The Eagle soccer meme stuff was flowing yesterday lmfao.

I guess it slowed down tonight.
 
Good, can we stop being excited with the sport of the poors? Grass (often times dirt), a ball, and running. Fucking boring.

I played it for over a decade in my youth, but I admit that it's boring as hell to watch.

The flopping and the lack of scoring makes it hard to watch. And why are you passing the ball all the way back to the goalie when you are at midfield? Dump
 
I find the game pretty engaging if you have a team to root for but if you don't care about the outcome it's pretty boring.
We were in France the year they won and that was a great atmosphere and fun. Same for when I was in Amsterdam during the Euro 2000 and Netherlands was doing well.
 
Just like any sport… you need your stars to show up in big moments.

Meanwhile Pulisic is talking postgame about the “positives” of being able to now rest his bruised leg in time to be ready for his European league season.

He shouldn’t be on USMNT moving forward.

A total loser and embarrassment to America.

The entire strategy is to control the ball and spread out the opposition to create passing lanes. It's better to reset the attack via passing back to the GK than just dribble forward or boom the ball downfield and lose possession. If you do that, all the opposition needs to do is set the line in the defensive 3rd and it's like running into a wall every time. It's really no different than basketball in that regard. If the passing lanes aren't there, you cycle the ball back to the PG and reset the offense.

That’s why it’s never taken off here like in Europe or South America.

Probably plays for some 3rd division team over there
 
Pulisic is likely the best American player ever and has played for some pretty storied clubs in Europe.

He just can't stay healthy.
