thx man. ya sure, let's not blame the fact that football hasn't been one of the major sports in us culture for the longest time and was until recently considered a "women's sport" mostly. let's completely ignore the fact that europe and south america have huge historic, structural and competitive advantages when it comes to men's football which is the #1 sport in almost all of their countries. the REAL reason your mnt is not winning titles on the highest level is CLEARLY... foreigners! you know, ppl who actually grew up in countries with proper football youth systems and at the very least helped to elevate the level of the team somewhat... she sounds like a trump supporter...
don't get me wrong, i don't think klinsmann is a particularly good manager or anything, in fact, i think he's rather bad - but not relying on that foreign knowledge, talent and ability would certainly not improve the situation at all...
Klinnsman...I sort of agree with you. I think the USMNT suits him for his abilities imho. We are mediocre. No beating around that bush. But he at least is bringing in talent that previous managers didnt even think to do. I hate football in America, it is so corrupt and stupid. The MLS ruins any hope of the US making strides to become a decent Nation for football. The youth system here sucks. The college system sucks. The Professional level sucks. The fields suck. US is one of the only nations that uses Turf fields at a competitive level, such a joke it hurts. They say its bc of bad weather, yet England still keeps their fields immaculate and its ALWAYS raining and always shitty there.
I could literally go on forever about the topic of football in America; I wish i could actually speak to someone from the USSA or something to see how dumb they really are.

modern feminist logic is that women can do everything men can do and be exactly as good at it. In their minds the female players are as good as their male counterparts but just don't get the same 'recognition'
This is rather true as well. The USWNT is currently protesting to get higher wages for what they do. They think they are better than the USMNT on an even playing level, which is such a joke. US mens actually can fill 3/4 a stadium. whilst the USWNT fills maybe 1/5 of a stadium. All attendance is rather pathetic.
