This is America. There is only passion for NFL and college football here.

Baseball back in the day too I guess before Football became the new pastime

That’s the problem.

94 strike killed baseball and it never recovered. Distant #3 in pro American sports.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

That’s the problem.

OK then so let’s not pretend like there will be any noticeable difference if the WC final is hosted in Dallas or Atlanta or LA. Locals will not be the people filling those seats in any scenario.

 

[rolaholic]

He was well worth the wait and hype...



Ended in a draw though, hope Salah is OK

 

[vtotheinay]

34 combined fouls and 12 combined yellow cards in the atleti RM match. wtf is goin on over there?

I feel like punishing steroid use killed baseball. The McGuire/Bonds/Sosa days were the last great/fun era.

Everyone’s go-to cope when they get knocked out of a cup

Would have obviously liked the W but I think we got the best case 2 outta 3 playing Atleti-Barca-Atleti over the course of a week. +1 more trophy for da cabinet in just 2 games. Save legs for the La Liga and CL for the rest of the season.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

We dont care where the WC Final will be. We will be there!

Facts. They could play the World Cup final at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and it would still be a tremendous success.

 

[jape]

same guy talking about passion been promoting the saudi league all summer

can’t make this up

 

[Coupé It]

Number one sport in Saudi Arabia is Football.

Like the rest of the world.

They don’t put it on the back burner like in this country.

High school Football is bigger in Texas than SOCCCERR

I lived in Texas for three years... plenty of ppl watching, playing and supporting soccer not sure what Coupé It is going on about.. additionally, the world will travel for this. Doesn't matter if they did it in Alabama, the game will be instantly sold out with a great atmosphere outside. They literally did it in the middle of the holiday season in a desert and still managed to do fine. Your takes are so outdated.. the sport is growing tremendously in this country, especially with the yutes.

Deadass, you’re the only fan of the sport in this country I know that is complaining that we got a world cup. It’s crazy to me. World cup matches are going to be played in our cities and you’re complaining about it!?

 

[Beans]

lol Coupé It has become the new kimchi papi... hate to see it.. miss Peter btw.. good dude.

We’re hosting the greatest sporting event in the history of sports and all he does is throw tantrums because people he does not know or care about will not care as much about the event as he does. It’s ridiculous behavior.

**** Texas I rather go Canada.

 

[Coupé It]

You guys gave Jerry Jones a WC Final and want me to be cool with it.

Nuts.

Blasphemy.

 

[cs02132]

I just hope I can get tickets when they come to Gillette

 

[Coupé It]

 

[mastamind89]

 

[noskey]

I'll be there. IDC how much tickets are. One positive about the location is that there are so many seats in that monstrosity that tickets should be easier to come by than a typical stadium in this country.

 

[Beans]

Not surprising

 

[sonoftony]

Call me biased but it should've went to NY/NJ. Only positive I can take from the WC Final in Jerrahworld is that Jerrah probably won't be alive to see it

 

[Nike Jordan]

An indoor stadium for the World Cup Final. Yuck.

 

[Nike Jordan]

At least one football team will be winning a championship at AT&T Stadium.
