In America, if you want to find the best competition, chances are you’re going to have to travel a good distance. Gas, hotels, food. It adds up a good bit.


Not if you live in a good sized metro area. The problem is, because of the pay for play system, most of the teams that are close to each other can't play each other because they are all in different pathways, each with their own financial interests. My daughter's team in metro ATL, before she quit playing for this very reason, had a least 6 if not 8 clubs within an hour that could provide competitive games. Problem is there were only 2 of them in the same organization so instead playing teams 30-45 min away we had 3 team from Florida, 1 in Alabama, 1 in So Car, 1 in South Georgia, and like 3 in North Carolina. Just for regular league games. It's ridiculous.

Your point about travel isn't wrong but it doesn't have to be that way for the vast majority of players if not for a stupid system.

Golden Goal sucked.


How? Sure you get the rare Argentina Cape Verde awesome ET but 90% of the time you get both just farting around (especially if one is an underdog) just trying to kill it off to get to pens which, while exciting, is a terrible way to determine a legit winner. Make someone score a goal.
Your takes yesterday were so bad. Not off to a good start today either.
Capitalism, while not perfect, is superior. The problem is it assumes people are motivated and willing to provide for themselves and their families and to improve their station in life. When you incentivize people who fail to meet this basic standard to breed in disproportionate numbers and import a significant number of people who lack the skills/desire to contribute, and entertain the victim mentality of the entitled the whole system falls apart.

Most pathetic 10 minutes I've seen a team play in a while by Egypt there.


The US strung about 10 consecutive equally abysmal 10 minute segments together last night.
Why is Messi allowed to cover his mouth?
You could have gotten amazing odds on balogun to score about 24 hours ago
F all that we don't need to justify nothing to nobody

It's embarrassing enough being an Argentina simp, even worse one that white knights for Brazil.
At least they have neymar to save them
How does one listen with the sound off?
Little difference between that and the pen Portugal got
Chances messi doesn't get that call?
This ref would blow messi on the field if he could
Messi's goal was nasty but he has been poor otherwise
