Does "heading" the ball ever cause concussions? Like do soccer players become as mushed brained as the football players? I'd start watching if so. I need people to be killing themselves for my entertainment.
Yes a lot of older players have dementia and it's only really just starting to be addressed

Is it bringing in more money or did they pay more for the rights? What source do you have for any of it?

Average viewership/game puts it behind the other 4 professional leagues and I'm not sure you understand how big college football is.
I can't be bothered to Google for you anymore than this. This shows how a world cup match gets far more viewers in the US than the finals of your major sports and Olympics etc

Why is that guy wearing a sports bra ?
Tracking. Used for data in how fast they run, how many sprints, how far etc etc.

Just stumbled across this to see the convoluted mental Hell the people you live in because you believe in nothing. I feel bad for you, but it will change nothing until you're turned your hearts towards God.


Fucking weirdo imbecile. How creepy are you that you need this bullshit blanket to cover it up?

So the World Cup final and the USA vs England game had good ratings. 65 million people watched the world series last year and the Super Bowl always beats everything out. Hell, college football drew far more than the world cup, other than the finals.

MLS signed a big deal but that only equals 1 college football conference deal, and there's 5 big conferences and a bunch of smaller ones.

MLS isn't the most popular league in the US though. Add up every single individual league and cup rights and the sport is bringing in more

You're crazy if you think all of them are more popular than NFL or college football. More popular combined than hockey? Shit, maybe but that's it.

It would take Saudi levels of money to take it to where they want it to go. They're still grasping onto the franchise model that only works if you're the world leader in quality of product like it does in the 4 main US sports. Aston Villa just sold Jhon Duran for 70 mil and they got him off Chicago Fire <2 years ago for a fraction of that. If you offer wages like the Saudi clubs do you'd start to see elite players going there and interacting with the younger US players and they'd probably stay a while and the USMNT wouldn't be all based in Europe.

People care about the game here because there are real consequences for failure. The idea that, no matter how unlikely, your small market provincial team could one day play in the Prem if they play their cards right is why most people watch, even the fans of the big teams enjoy it. From a business standpoint it's a greater reward for the risk because you aren't buying an NFL team for <8billion whereas a stake in Leyton Orient which you can subsequently invest in might run you 500K. The franchise system means that a pyramid system is impossible to achieve as it entails 32 board members agree to play russian roulette in slow motion over the course of a year against one another.

Who gives a shit? The important thing is all those faggot governments, not just in Europe but Mexico and Brazil as well, will have to watch Donald Trump preside over their favorite sport and won't be able to do shit about it.

Panama actually has quite a decent squad since 2018 or so...they routinely beat teams like Costa Rica and give Mexico a hard time...USA will do well at the World Cup because it will be made up 48 teams, a lot who will be a few levels WORSE than Panama.

They're exactly the type of team Scotland will need to beat and lose heavily to in the last group game, which means they have more than a fighting chance if we qualify.





seriously, this happened more times against better teams, but there's only been like a handful of World Cups and this is how we went home from 3 of them.
