Agree with most of what you said.Tequilla said:What I don't get is that soccer is reaching an apex in terms of support in this country. You have the top English teams coming over here every year. You have the head of the Spanish Premera Division talking about wanting to expand their footprint in the US including possible league matchups. You're finding more and more US players choosing to stay home in MLS.
IF they wanted to do, it would be very easy to expand the Champions League such that the US and really Mexico were brought into the discussion. Getting North America even more tied into the Champions League would be a no brainer IMO and with transportation to/from the US and Europe easier than it has ever been, you could also very easily have a breakout "Super League" with the Top Teams from Europe breaking off from the "Financial Fair Play" that is in place right now.
I'm all for the World Cup going to other parts of the world. Russia makes sense. Strong domestic league. Fairly strong national team. Qatar makes ZERO sense. It's just a flat out bad idea. The sooner Sepp Blatter gets away from the European control the better for soccer in general.
However, each continental federation already has their own Champions League. The winners play each other in the Club World Cup. You would want to expand that tournament.
Also, MLS will never take off unless we start producing more American talent. We don't have the financial means to import good talent, and won't for at least a couple more decades. I find most of the games to be unwatchable dreck, which is one of the reasons why I can't get into the Sounders.
I think what needs to happen is for a major league like the EPL or La Liga to tell FIFA to fuck off and secede. That's the only way they lose their grip on the sport.

If this is the only reason you've decided not to watch soccer then you need to reexamine all of your choices in life.PurpleJ said:I've been following this for a while now, and I have decided not to watch the 2022 World Cup.

I support soccer. I'll be at the MLS all-star game in Portland wearing my 2010 Auburn vs. Oregon National Title t-shirt if anyone wants to meet up.

You openly homosexual soccer fans seem to take the sport very seriously.

Will you be wearing a warm winter scarf in the summer heat so you can look the part of a wannabe European?Cuogar_Gold said:I support soccer. I'll be at the MLS all-star game in Portland wearing my 2010 Auburn vs. Oregon National Title t-shirt if anyone wants to meet up.

I know you are being sarcastic, but the Euros won't truly respect us as a futbol nation until we learn to write more offensive chants and start engaging in large-scale riots after every match. Not likely, when you consider the fannypack wearing motherfuckers that currently follow MLS.Cuogar_Gold said:

Spent two and a half weeks down in Brazil for the WC...probably spend about the same in Russia in 2018. No way in hell I'm going to Qatar in 2022.
Not sure how much you know about them, but it's fucked up...when the Saudis call them rich relative to themselves (the Saudis) it's nuts to begin with, but when you see/hear what they do with the money...
