you think Balogun would’ve been begging for U.S. papers just to play for the USMNT instead of pursuing England if he hadn’t already been eligible? The U.S. is still a nobody in the soccer world compared to the traditional powers, and no top youth prospect is going to jump through immigration hoops just for the chance to represent the U.S. if they don’t already have eligibility. Like i said earlier you are truly one of the dumbest mfers on this website
Also don’t forget the MAGA melanin scale you have to apply as well so the “talent” is on an inverse scale when applied. Recent South Africa etc
What do you have against these people? They have been very successful. Shame on you. I believe that a group of people must demonstrate excellence before being granted citizenship. Somalians, as one example, are not cutting it. That’s just facts. GOOD DAY
Nothing is wrong with MAGA people. If they want to factor in how much melanin an immigrant has. Thats their own prerogative. White MAGAS want to be around white people. That’s the facts. Deal with it.
Apparently covering your mouth while arguing with the official or another player is a straight red card. Guess this rule was place to punish folks who like to say racist/derogatory sht while hiding their mouth.
People want to be around other people who are safe (low crime), clean (don’t stink), honest (no fraud) and responsible (take care of their stuff). Those are the basics. Unfortunately there are many immigrant groups that don’t meet these low level criteria. Level up before making demands. GOOD DAY
Seattle is the most pro soccer city in the entire country. Their local MLS team routinely sells out. The idea that Seattle would not be patriotic or somehow would root against USMNT shows just how braindead you cultists are. You people are easily the most brainwashed individuals anywhere in the world. It's genuinely sad witnessing how easy it is to brainwash you people.
Polling shows Democrats are not patriotic. Anyone with a brain can see this with or without the polling. GOOD DAY
Do you know who were extremely patriotic, could never see the faults in their government and couldn't accept valid criticism of their dear leader? The Nazis. Not saying every patriotic person is a nazi (I mean you are but not every patriotic person is), just saying patriotism is not per definition a good trait. Furthermore this poll would look very different if anyone else was the president.
You’re a straight weird individual. I would be quite surprised if you have ever been married and/or had any children.
You do understand the Swastika flag was not the German flag? Further, you do understand a flag represents the people and its territory, not the government? Also, July 4th doesn't represent a party or government. By boycotting the flag, you're essentially stating you disagree with the foundation and sacrifice of those who created this country. Weird post tbh. Why are so many of you beholden to your party over the country?
Wait, are you suggesting that Nationalism was not important in the rise of Hitler and the Nazis? Better pick up those history books. I never said anything about boycotting a flag. I only stated that patriotism doesn't have to be a good trait, it depends what that country stands for. What a country stand for can change over time. And it is clear that what America stands for has changed a lot since Trump. People should stay critical of the actions of their country. But I understand critical thinking is harder than blindly following a dear leader.
Lets roll this back. First, not everything has to be about Nazi Germany and Hitler. Its not the only event tragic event in history and it probably wouldn't make the top 10. Mao and Stalin were much worse and represented leftist ideology. Better pick up those history books. Again, let me restate - July 4th is not about about political parties or factions. I know that is very difficult for you to understand as youre entire identity is bound to a political faction. Interesting enough, most of these horrific events are guided by people who are blindly loyal to factions over the people of the land. Nobody is stating a person in this country should be required to be patriotic or feel pressured, but if your patriotism wanes on who is in power, youre likely someone who is gullible enough to run and support concentration cames under the guise of "i was just doing what I was told to do".
I didn't talk about 4th of July. I do not care about that day. I am not an american. I was saying nationalism/patriotism isn't necessarily a good trait. Of course there have been many many terrible people in the world. They have used populism or power to control the masses. And they have come from all different political area's. That does nothing in an argument against my point. They have used the people that didn't think critically and blindly supported their leader. Also mentioning Stalin and Mao did nothing to argue against my point that nationalism/patriotism is always a good trait. especially since nationalism was also an important part of their rise to power. You last sentence is really interesting. I was saying people should always question the actions of their leaders, and speak up when the leaders act in a way they do not agree with. And you respond to that by saying that somebody that critically thinks about the actions of their leaders would be more susceptible to "just do what they are told". You might want to rethink that logic. If I understand you correctly you believe that it is better to be blindly loyal to country (that you happen to have been born into) than to think about your ideals and act on them? If that is the case that means that you would side on the side of the Iranians had you been born there? You would have supported Stalin had you been born in Rusia at that time. You would have supported Hitler had you been born in Germany at that time? I do not think that is waht you mean, but that is what you are saying. Let’s try and say this as easy as possible. “Nationalism is not necessarily a good trait, it depends on what the country stands for.”
Thanks. I am not that optimistic. Our team is just not that good , and Koeman is a terrible coach. We might make it out of the first round, but I have no faith in a good tournament. I remember the teams of 1998 (Bergkamp) and 2010 (Sneijder), those were teams, man.
