Of course they aren’t genetically inferior for soccer. I don’t know if that’s his point, I don’t think it is. But soccer requires more than just a field of 11 6’4 225lbs race horses out muscling and out running the competition. Soccer is a great equalizing of athletic ability in terms of sports due to the technical skill required to be world class. You don’t need to be a specimen to dominate. It wouldn’t hurt but it isn’t required.

You need elite technical skill, soccer IQ, etc. we didn’t lose to the Belgium's tonight because they were more athletic than us, we lost because their players have done nothing but play soccer since birth.

In a parallel universe where football didn’t exist and soccer was the king of US sports we would probably have a perennial top 3 international team with multiple world cups. We have a huge population, are sports obsessed, and are rich as frick. But until you can make as much money being the starting striker for FC Dallas as you can the Cowboys starting QB that will never happen.

Nevermind. We agree. Anyone who doesn’t think American wouldn’t shite pump the rest of the world on the regular in soccer if we had the same sport culture here is delusional. We are the best athletes in the world, we have more money than anyone else, and we love sports more than anyone else.

Thank you for your continued interest in the Alabama football program.

If you have any other thoughts please don’t hesitate to start more threads.

DeBoer needs to go. He just led the team to the worst loss in 40 years. They won’t fire him, but he is not the guy. Unacceptable.

This fanbase is so disgustingly spoiled.

Soon? With Daniel Jones or Drew Lock as his quarterback?

Obj did it with an old Eli. I know Eli is miles better than DJ

Right up there with them He's built like

Chase but is shifter, similar play style to Jettas.

He right with them imo

Glad he’s out of the conference

Yep, Downs made a business decision out of high school and he’s making one now. He did not come to Alabama because he really loved the strip and all of the lore of bear bryant

It really is as simple as this. They are not fans. They are employees. When another company offers more money with better opportunities a vast majority of people would jump. That’s ok. We will be fine. We aren’t Arkansas. We have too much tradition built over a hundred years to get upset over a 19 year olds decision

Your right. Don’t care about other fanbases. Keep your emotions in check for your own pride. Wishing a person you’ve never meet before has to suck cock for money in his life is such a weird thing to post publicly. Why are you so emotional? Are you a female?

Agreed
