re: I know it’s cliche, but our best athletes would dominate Soccer.

Bolt would’ve sucked at football, baseball, and basketball too
Point well taken (except possibly a lethal kick returner in football)
Baseball guys are some of the least athletic people to be honest (extraordinarily coordinated though).
I think people conflate athleticism and coordination way too much.
LeBron is an insane athlete no doubt, but would be good at baseball? Idk, maybe.
Would he be good at soccer? Idk, maybe. Coordination with your feet is a lot different than hand-eye. But if the US had an enormous sample size and every athlete played soccer, of course we could be one of the best, our population dwarfs most of these countries.

I've made the same post for like 20 years and soccer fanbois go bonkers. You don't understand the "beautiful game" blah, blah, blah.
Usain Bolt, the fastest man alive, tried playing pro soccer and sucked.
Raw athleticism isn't really the golden ticket. The US would need a complete culture turnaround, where kids grow up with a soccer ball. The people saying we could throw Tyreek Hill out there with 4 years of training are idiots.
Tyreek Hill growing up with a soccer ball, now that is a different story.

The two worst performances have been from the MLS guys. Ream and the goalie. Who would’ve thought.

They settled in a bit towards the end there. First 15 minutes were torture

That's bullshite. Hate soccer for those calls. His leg slid over the ball.. nothing he could do. It was a total accident.
Doesn’t matter if it’s an accident. You absolutely can’t slide with studs up like that. Good way to break someone’s leg.
Hate it for England, but that’s not a debatable call
One positive about the officiating this tournament

I know everyone will still complain about flopping, but officials have been letting the players play more than they ever have. I love it. Game is much more physical.
VAR still sucks, but it has limited the theatrics for sure.

The cherry picking argument just doesn’t hold up. In basketball, a guy can just stand by his goal. But then the other team would just stand someone next to him.
Solid argument. But as someone who has played both, it’s so much different.
Because the soccer field is so massive, allowing offsides would create these huge gaps all over the field and it just would be chaos.
The game would completely change.

Relax dude.
I’ve traveled plenty and haven’t lived in Louisiana (where I was born) for 10+ years. Most places are shitholes compared to America (yes, even Europe).
Soccer is a religion to a lot of these countries, and I can assure you they are spending way above their means to get to these games. That’s the point of this thread. I’m impressed more than anything

Just because a country is poor doesn’t mean that every resident of that country is poor.
Obviously. But this is 70k people paying hundreds if not thousands of dollars to see these games. It’s not just a crew of rich oligarchs
My point is I would bet the majority of these fans used basically all of their money to buy tickets.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m shocked that all of these South American fans can afford tickets/hotels to absolutely pack these stadiums out.

What did you call?
You bought something and called it "arbitrage" and it proceeded to tank 40%. We have different definitions of arbitrage

I'm not a big options trader, but doesn't an implied vol that high just show that the market is pricing in huge swings? So that's why you can get a nice premium for selling an option?
Yeah 17% is nice but its a lot less nice when you can easily get wiped out

I'm confused why you are using the term arbitrage. You still own the downside right?

Definitely true to an extent. A lot of it has to do with how expensive the area is. But that has to be the nicest areas in Louisiana to live
