in America, soccer is a second tier sport. yes in the euro premier league soccertards make as much as .. wait for it .. the big 4. why is it that Hockey .. such a national sport in the land of Canucks and vodkatards not worth the big bucks like .. America?

Money! that's why! we gots it .. the world wants it.

America! the bastion of capitalism pays the big bucks! take all of the premier league, F1 and .. cricket (sic) and it doesn't compare to the US big 4. American football, basketball, baseball and hockey eclipse them all. throw in NASCAR and IndyCar and it's a slam dunk.

money talks .. bullshit walks. America has the money!

thank you valued poster!

No.

You're fucking wrong.

The U.S. was selling food stuff to Britain throughout the entire war; thus, feeding the fucking Tommies in the trenches.

"An army marches on its stomach," Napoleon Bonaparte.

Soldiers do not fight without food.

There were over four million rifle rounds and over a thousand heavy artillery shell casings aboard the Lusitania bound from New York to Britain when it was sank by a German submarine in 1915 killing 128 American citizens. So, you lie when you claim the U.S. was not involved until late in the war.

The U.S. was providing food and ammunition to the Brits from the very beginning.

"The gold reserves, overseas investments and private credit then ran out, forcing Britain to borrow $4 billion from the U.S. Treasury in 1917–18. Much of this money was spent paying United States industries to manufacture ammunition. United States Cartridge Company expanded its work force ten-fold in response to September 1914 contracts with British purchasing agents; and ultimately manufactured over two billion rifle and machine gun cartridges. Baldwin Locomotive Works expanded their Eddystone, Pennsylvania, manufacturing facilities in 1915 to manufacture Russian artillery shells and British rifles. The United States production of smokeless powder was equal to the combined production of the European Allies during the last 19 months of the war; and by the end of the war United States factories were producing smokeless powder at a rate 45 percent higher than the European Allies' combined production. Production rate of explosives by the United States was similarly 40 percent higher than Britain and nearly twice that of France. Shipments of American raw materials and food allowed Britain to feed itself and its army while maintaining her productivity. The financing was generally successful. Heavy investment in ammunition manufacturing machinery did not bring long term prosperity to some major American companies. The United States Cartridge Company Lowell, Massachusetts, factory which manufactured nearly two-thirds of the small arms cartridges produced in the United States during the war, closed eight years later. After Baldwin manufactured over six million artillery shells, nearly two million rifles, and 5,551 military locomotives for Russia, France, Britain and the United States..." (Wiki)

Bottom Line- Rapinoe's 15 minutes of fame are over!!!!
She is no longer relevant, and will not be on the Soccer team in four years.

The only time I watch soccer is the Women's World Cup - nothing else has my interest.

In general, soccer is like watching paint dry

Those who like the game are welcome to it

LM- who is the next PM of the UK ????????

U.S. did not pussie out of that war. U.S. had no business in that war. it was strictly a European affair. England begged U.S. to get involved.



When U.S. didn't due to the anti-war feelings in U.S., Wilson wanted in, but could not do to anti-war pressure.



they resorted to dirty tricks like secretly putting ammunition on a US flag ship, Lusitania instead of a UK flagged ship, and tipping the germans about its cargo.



what really got the U.S.in, was the intercepted cable convienently provided by the UK between Mexico & Germany about intervention if U.S. went to war.


If britain was all that, why did they ask for help in 2 world wars!!!!


Free trade weakened the British Empire.

Actually, your point (aside from the one on top of your head) was to try to portray Americans as either rubes or arrogant based on our use of the word soccer. I simply illustrated why we are not wrong to do so. Soccer is a legitimate name for the game that the Brits used up until 1980 or so. And since we already established the game of football in this country there was no good reason to change the name of soccer to football.
As for the rest of the world using "football", it looks as if you're wrong again junior,
"Redditor reddripper put together this excellent map of what "the beautiful game" is called around the world.

It's based on language etymologies. All the pink countries call it "football," or some literal translation of "football." All the blue countries call it "soccer," or some translation of "soccer." All the green countries call it something else entirely.

The takeaway: Americans aren't the only ones who don't call it "football." Not by a long shot. Much of Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea, Oceania, South Africa and even Italy call it something other than "football." https://www.businessinsider.com/foot...er-map-2013-12

Don't forget Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

But hey, thanks for playing!

America entered the war less than two years before the war was over, AFTER England did all of the heavy lifting. Period end of story get over it.

You can try to twist it anyway you want to, but my point still remains and you continue to validate it. Once you leave the shithole they call America all of the relevant countries call the greatest sport what it is "Football", not that I need it, but thanks for the help.

Even a blind man can see you're lying. Britain and France would not have lasted until 1917 without the economic and materiel aid of the United States. The U.S. was involved early on.
