2621972, American suburban soccer culture is the reason
Posted by j., Tue Sep-05-17 10:29 AM
In every other country in the world, soccer is the people's game
the streets, the hood, the barrios, the struggle
Here we got soccer moms packing lunches, summer camps that cost an arm and a leg, and quiet as a mouse MLS matches

I'm not saying go full South American or Euro hooligan
but I see USMNT not playing with any passion, any fire, just going through the motions
they almost look like men without a country (c)
then I watch Chile and Colombia and they play like their lives depend on it (well in Colombia's case...)

I mean, even Brazil got touched when they started going through the motions and/or not showing up thinking they had already won

The world: "Some people think football is a matter of life and death.
I can assure them it is much more serious than that" (c)

America: good game, good effort (c)
