+Declan O'Donovan Really? Without the best team sport?

Just wait and see what would football become in the US after the 2026 WC

@@sakti7596 Oh yeah and Canada and Mexico!!!

@@HurricanezzYT no...in canada it wont make a diff...they;re only hosting like 2-3 games (stadiums) and NONE past the group stage...same for mexico only even less, i think ONLY mexico city will host one game, one city-stadium only, and thats also in group stage..while in the usa it will be huge, 1st off it will be the 1st world cup ever to not hold the usual 32 countries (8 groups), WHILE the world cup in USA will be the 1st to host 48 countries aka 12 groups which in itself will be HUUUUUUGE for not just usa but "soccer" across the world since it will give so many small, island, shit countries, all 3 groups of those will get a much much bigger chance to qualify and play....when world cup 1st started, i think in uruguay was the 1st one, in 1934 if im not mistaken, or 1932, only 8 countries made it, if not 6... idont even think u had to qualify, just whos ever country felt like paying for 25 guys AT MOST (thats including the 11 players, subs, coaches, docts, chairmen, lmao), with european countries traveling by boats from portugal, spain, france, enland, germany, italy etc...u get the point, but prob majority traveled to portugal 1st since it was much faster travel by land (train) then sea (boat) and then from boat to s. america aka brazil....only 6 ot 8 said f it we'll go for it, w like 2-3 ONLY from europe, i think usa actually came and defeated ENGLAND and kicked them out which was surprise of all surprises...speaking of usa now, its def growing into a football powerhouse. unfortunetly, it's still "soccer", mostly a soccer mom - kids up to 12-13 sport, who just play to play something, since its so cheap, almost NO equipment is needed but a fkn soccer ball u can buy for 3$ at ur local grocery store, and MAYBE, cleats and shin guard which are also super cheap...i watched the kids play on few occassions in local parks (for bout 30 seconds n seen enough) and every kid is literally chasing after the ball, nobody knows even the point of positions of each player, spreading the field etc...while kids in Europe, S america too i'm sure, start off playing games that look damnear just like the pros, without the quality strong kicks offcourse due to their size/strength..but everything else is there, they all play TEAM game, not chase the ball till it literally gets chased in the oponents goal, every kid is just going for the kick kicking the shit out the ball i dont even think they care bout what direction they kick it in lmao....and then after that, after they turn 12-13, they start playing their traditional american sports, they still have a HUGE stupid thinking of sport is not a sport unless its played w ur hands...they JUST DONT GET IT...but i agree the 2026 world ccup will make it that much bigger in usa, prb twice as it is now, which is a beautiful thing to see compared to how much usa used to be made fun of when it came to football in genera, when in reality they just dont give a flying f about it lol...the national team is quite a wild card, i think in brazil in 2014 they made it to top 8, last one in russia top 16 coming very close to top 8 but belgium BARELY beat them etc..but canada, no, it'll make little to no difference, while in "mehico" its already the number 1 thing in world period lol so it won't get any bigger its already been as big as it can get just like the rest of fellow latin - s american countries and europe...its also grown HUNG in asia and midddle east, w middle eastern peace of shit rch oil sheiks buying clubs all over exp the super rich ones buying clubs all over england, which the britis hate, but thats another story..i rmmbr i think cardiff it was, a malysian billionare bought it, the dude that brought mcdonalds to malasya and got so rich off it, he changed cardiffs traditional 100yr colors from blue to red, made their logo just as old look like a asian dragon typa shit, brits wasn't havign none of that, boycoted the club from get-go, which im sure every fanbase in europe would do if that was done to their club...shit in croatia, their #1 clubs name got switched from dinamo to croatia, during the 90s when fascism and patriotism was running thru croatia seeing how it just came out of the smaller of the balkan wars in the 90s, compared to the one in Bosnia, and got their independence fairly easy, their fascist president at time changed dinamo to croatia, and same thing happened boycotts ALL OVER, tilll it was renamed back to dinamo zagreb...i can go on for years, but point being no it will not become anything bigger in canada, while in mexico its already as big as it can get, #1 sport by far ppl die for lol

Me as well! I also think I watch "The Magic was Real" several times a year as well. Getting ready for the first now in preparation for the 2020 season! RCTID!

They hate that we are getting up there

Riley Olson This comment is so true. Here in Australia we are probably a step behind the MLS. It is relieving though to see a league similar to our own thriving and it can only bring us hope that the A-League can do the same in the not so distant future. All I can say is props to the MLS and the supporters which have become a very respectable league in my opinion at least.

Chad Cooper Thanks bro, a couple years ago we were actually a step ahead of the MLS but the A League just doesn't getting the funding it needs to grow and become successful. That's where the MLS has over taken us, as well as the population sizes of the two nations. A minor sport in America can get the same amount of views and coverage as a major sport in Australia.

Timmy chehill it's actually not minor, I'd say it's top 5 being in 5th

Denzell Bowers Oh, still five isn't the number one sport in America is where I'm trying to get at in my previous comment. Thank you for the correction.

we also got freestanding, look up LAFC, Orlando, Minnesota United, and others

Thanks mate but u British be having like 100s of songs to sing lmao and the atmosphere u guys create is just a whole different perspective of football.

Hawkins Stern charlotte is going to be all-standing too, at least in the supporters section.

It's all stolen from continental eurooe

Sporting Kansas City has great fans(and as an RSL fan, it kills me to say this)

I went to an FC Kaiserslautern match last year. it was nuts. loved the experience of German football.

Toronto-Montreal, LA Galaxy- San Jose.

Noah Lennon Toronto Montreal is gonna get bigger too after the playoffs this year

Noah Lennon Toronto Montreal is alright but honestly a joke compared to the cascadia derby same with san Jose vs LA

Tom Lewis Sadly not all of them. Portland and Seattle are the cream of the crop. Orlando and Atlanta are alright too. The rest are trash

+Emilios Gregoriou Cheers, Emilios! Thanks for the kind words about our league. Watching top European clubs can inspire awe but rooting for my Timbers is way better. If you want to follow a little more closely, check out stumptownfooty.com. There's also information about the Portland Thorns, the best attended women's soccer, er, football club in the world.

Silent Queue no no, womens soccer please, not in the world. I assure you

Σοβαρά τώρα νομίζουν πως αυτό είναι ποδόσφαιρο και κερκίδα;; μάλλον δεν έχουν δει το ΠΑΟΚ Ολυμπιακός όταν φλέγεται η Τούμπα σαν καζάνι απ τα pyros το ντέρμπι των timbers με τους sounders δεν ξεπερνά ούτε το ντέρμπι της Προ με τον Ιωνικο σε οπαδικη ατμόσφαιρα. Μάθανε και τον οπαδισμο τα γατάκια η Γιανκιδες.

I thought NYC and LA teams were shite?

@@CrimsonKobaNakirigumi they're good now (especially LAFC). But the commenter was talking about how NYC and LA are the first cities you think of when thinking of the USA.

@@CrimsonKobaNakirigumi NYC and LA will always have "plastic fans" as you say for almost every sport

Well done

No you dont support the same, you dont know about fights in the streets or deep rivalries, or clothing.

Agreed!!!!

Kristofer Mc Cormack yes highly recommend it!

Kristofer Mc Cormack I was at this game and it was fucking bonkers!

It is an amazing atmosphere. It is so worth it.

+Kristofer Mc Cormack I was there last year at the 4-4 draw. It was insane.

Kristofer Mc Cormack the intensity is crazy one Timbers fan got his scarf "Torn" off by a Seattle fan! Get game! But hold on to your Scarf...

Please come to Monterrey, Mexico. And do a derby days for Tigres vs Monterrey

Copa90 GO TO ATHENS! Make a video on Panathinaikos vs Olympiakos!

Copa90 you should go to st etienne against lyon france

+Blaine Hampton St Johnstone V Dundee or Dundee United

Copa90 Must come to Western Sydney Wanderers vs Sydney FC next season. Although only a few years old there is plenty of factors which play a part in this derby. Sydney FC being established first and trying to be the team for all of Sydney, but were always pro-East Sydney and not too keen on West Sydney, the rich football culture in Sydney`s West, the Rovers FC idea and downfall, the Wanderers then coming in and being so successful, the 'higher class' Eastern Suburbs vs the working class Western Suburbs e.t.c

that*

Why janurary 20th?

+BP TV (USA #1) May be the day the club was founded? Idk

Americans just use every excuse they have to get a holiday because of their shitty labour laws

Fake culture

Ryan Grimes All respect to America, I have tried, but I can't take it seriously yet. If it keeps going as it is, then I will respect it as I do with Italy, Portugal etc. Is there a hooligan culture blossoming in America as well?

Carlos Vela I live in Portland... This video does show the real deal. You're welcome to come visit anytime and I'd even be happy to show you around! :)

Carlos Vela fake carlos vela

***** you act like 70s era was so long ago there are a ton of clubs that been around for 80 90 years man MLS clubs still are not at par with others countries history

Vdd, nem imaginava que existia pelo menos 2 torcidas que gostavam de futebol nos eua

Seattle is arguably the most hated team in the entire league. Everyone wants to kick their asses I'm a San Jose Earthquakes fan. Although i cannot stand Los Angeles, i dont really like seattle just as much. The sounders act like they're hot shit when they barely won anything. And LA is like the spoiled child of the league.

@Anthony and yet they're the one of the best teams in the league I can see why they are hated

***** so they're like the Yankees but without the unbridled success?

RollOnToVictory pretty much

SEATTLLLLE SOOOOOUNDERS!

Because no one cares about Vancouver- sincerely a Toronto FC fan ;) lol

Evan Saltare Nah mate we hate you cause of the mentality .

Mls is still shit and well the clubs have no history just money to but has been players who want to make a quick buck in an easy league basically sunday league

Ernesto Vargas How could they have history on par with Europe when most clubs are less than 35 years old? In time they will. No club in the world had history or were amazing good 35 years in. Get off your High Horse.

***** lol high horse and no not just europe south america central america you name it either MLS teams have no rep in international football haven't seen them win anything if any in concacaf champions league haven't seen them win important youth tournaments so they still got a lot of catching up to do

alexgiurgi08 THANK. YOU. Could not have said it better myself haha.

Thank you for backing us up, alexgiurgi08! :)

hey, thanks. i appreciate this comment. they way i see it the atmosphere is more friendly because we're just happy to see fellow soccer fans even if they support other teams, because the sport really has only a cult following compared to others here.. from the videos i've seen on youtube NFL fandom in the UK has some similar elements

What's wrong with celtic crosses

i don´t think you know what you´re talking about. If u have ever been to a Derby in Europe or South America you then will know what level of Passion these People have. Some are willing to die for their Teams, literally.. That said: i think it´s great that not all american Sports have that "Charge" "Make some noise" kinda feeling to it anymore.

SigiPower1982 you're speaking straight out of your ass. Seem to know so much at us football supporters in the states but u ain't got a fucking clue "not as passionate as fans in europe" why because I'm American? Somehow doesn't make me a true football supporter or passionate about my club hahaha fuck outta here. Go to a game first and see for yourself

I lived in the States for Years. Moved back because of my Club. Trust me i know and u aint got a clue.

SigiPower1982 No you don't hahaha

Sounders. Till I die. As always.

History??? U wanna kidding me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 they are 22 years old wich history do u mean if there is no

@@mxmrnr0642 goes back to the 70s not 22 years ago

Not as much lol. (Timbers fan)

Blake Winchester It's literally the same thing. Vancouver and Portland get exactly the same attendance and Seattle is always getting their large amount. The atmosphere is the same in every game.

caelanl ay caelanl is right, sending equal disdain for both Vancouver and Seattle. build a bonfire

caelanl ehhh

caelanl Then start showing some passion. I actually enjoy our matches vs Wankcouver more than vs the Scum because you guys are decent human beings unlike those idiots in Portland, but you lack the passion. You're too nice sometimes. Too Canadian. Get rowdy. Go mental. Unleash your fury on us in Seattle. It's just as important as anything that happens on the pitch.

When did you come to the SJ Earthquakes' match? I feel like we have many dormant fans but the interest is sucked out of the team with unambitious ownership

@@hawkinsstern5356 I went the match in april 2015 when I was on business trip to Palo Alto. I also felt team doesnt invest much on their squad and the performance was not that high enough. But the atmosphere of fans and community was awesome.

When I root I root for the Timbers!

Mason Forrest fucking hell man, do yanks consider that a good chant?

@@taylorl7001 oh come on there are so many cringe British chants

True!!!!

Andyrfa but this is it really.... sadly. But my team (rapids) has really improved in one year but I'm really happy with the improvement. Besides that we do the Iceland clap for corners. And only 2 people can do it

Lol no Mexican clubs are miles ahead kid

Maybe in the USA but not north america

Isn't mexico part of central america?

xSDxGamer I hope you're joking

Bro go back to school I you think Mexico is part Central America. Mexican clubs still dominate mls clubs in the champions league. In the sport and the fan culture

#Tellem!!!

well you don´t and can´t either. Look: In Europe there is sometimes 5k-10k Away Fans in a Rival City. You just can´t do that so u will never understand.

@@SigiPower1982 well it's kinda hard because we all don't live in one of three cities in an area the size of Alabama

that´s what im saying:"you can´t do that". Its impossible to understand what being a fan means in Europe for an American. You will put yourself in Danger every Weekend in a Rival City, walking around it being able to be attacked at any time. That takes a lot of love for the Club to put yourself through such a thing.

SigiPower1982 it’s not about not wanting to be in danger, it’s the fact that we don’t have away days down the street. The closest one to me (which I always go to) is 600km away. Kinda hard to take 5k fans when the average away day is closer to 1000km.

In Greece...

jimochild 13 in debt

James Lee yeah yeah youre clever

jimochild 13 take a look at the chanel: Ultras World! They show some REAL Derbies and Ultra highlights in General

Olof Hellbjerg yeah i know it

That's what the beauty of football can do to you. I reckon it will overtake american football within the next decade

***** I support a team that doesn't use drums or megaphones and I don't like drums, megaphones, capo's and all that bs but atleast they try to improve their atmosphere well english (should have said that instead of uk) atmospheres are only getting worse

+Wouter van der Lecq Don't be surprised if we win a World Cup in less than 20 years. If there is one thing that this country can do really, really well it's producing monster athletes.

Rangers and celtic there self are louder than every club in the uk and us

@@topshaggermckay2804 never expected any reactions to this post anymore, even forgot about it. But back then I meant the premier league with saying the UK. I think a lot higher of scottish fans. I also stayed in the US for a few months and visited a few seattle sounders matches. The atmosphere was pretty dissapointing compared to what they promote it to be. So right now I wouldn't feel the same as I did back when I posted this.

You wot mate ?

It's because the FA are wankers and don't allow pyro, smoke etc.

^

ikr

CashewXcraft it's not just about pyro, tickets aren't affordable anymore. the most passionate fans are priced out.

Barnaby Hands British derbies were the best until the Taylor report which made stadiums become all seater, from then on ticket prices rose and rose, remember we invented football and football hooliganism.

True.

OMG Copa90 liked my comment, thanks :)

Giuseppe Noviello this guy i know got beat up by some timbers fans after a match the sounders won in portland

No Seattle is

Nah Seattle

Ohio State-Michigan could be considered.

Blake Winchester hence him saying new team. I live in orlando and the whole city is just purple and gold.

Plastic club

Holland Wala Pendu Jatt who NYCFC? Yea I know

Blake Winchester Thank You! 👏👏👏

***** NYCFC stadium is full of Plastic, go to an Orlando game if u want atmosphere
