Europe colonized Africa and we got Guam and Samoa and Puerto Rico.

It was sour grapes, but I mentioned in a group text that a black man playing for Belgium after Leopold II seems unfathomable.

Memories are short. Especially when $$$’s involved.

That’s an own goal.

That was correctly credited to Tillman.

We're competitive. We're in the top 20-25 in the world. It would be awesome if State would regularly be in the top 20 in the nation. We're just not top 10. Maybe not even top 15. We regularly make it out of group play. Italy has missed the last three World Cup. We've also gotten better as obesity rates have increased. It takes longer to get better at soccer than at any other major sport. Most kids in America play soccer for fun and we largely have a pay to play system. Should we get a bunch of young kids to drill fanatically like they do in Europe? Soccer is incredibly popular in Africa and, as I mentioned earlier, Europe colonized Africa. That helps.

Have you been to Italy? It’s beautiful and the food is amazing but there are no young people.

Europe isn't reproducing itself. Neither is Asia. We're not far behind
