I got second hand embarrassment when he said that. 😬

😂😂😂

I don't think that Charlie and others were able to articulate well enough what they meant. He is saying is that there are negative assumptions made, pre-judgements made, if you are an American. Brits hate Americans, so this makes sense. It also makes sense because yes, the US isn't a proper "footballing country". But the fact remains, as an individual, there is a stigma to having come from America and therefore you are almost certainly penalized in the minds of the fans, the media, and even coaches.

Geezer played for hammarby and sochaux😂. Think that proves the point

@@paulhamrick3943 indeed, I don`t think either they described properly what he meant. Players and coaches not, but fans, yes they will have pre-judgements, and as Titi said it, is the same for europeans in NBA. American basketball fans don`t rate the EuroLeague too much, neither the players. It`s the same in any sport, especially if your country lacks culture or achievements in that sport. In the end seems they figured it out what he wanted to say =))

No they’re disrespected

Level 0😂

They are

​@@lightingbolt8148No, they just haven't performed

They want respect for being mediocre basically

Nobody feels entitled fools lol. Keep that same energy when yall get cheated I'm the world cup lol

That's different because Africa is a footballing continent, just like South America.

​@@thankyou8417He meant disadvantaged. Entitled ppl in Europe don't look like George Weah.😂 Samuel Eto'o once said to the Spanish press "I have to run like a black man to earn like a white a man"

100% Americana can never accept if thwrw second beat or in football 200 best

@@thankyou8417yes yall do, yall do that in most areas. Thats typical american bs

Then he added the point. Yes earn your respect. But American players are not starting from a level playing field. That comes from a history of producing talent. Something America has not done. So players from their days didn’t get treated the same. Probably will see that change if they produce better talent more consistently. Europeans in the NBA. Took awhile for them to get the same respect as American players

@@PC8905 There will always be some preconceived notion. Obviously if an unknown Brazilian and an unknown American comes onto a team, people will assume the Brazilian is better. But as Henry said, more than just Americans go through this and the only way to stop it is to prove them wrong.

@@megamonster1234 he'll probably have more respect to because of how the structure of football/ soccer is in America. Ive never seen kids in the street playing soccer like in brazil, argentina or some other 3rd world countires. You just cant get up and play the sport where all u need is a ball and two pairs of shoes to make a goal. Its such an expensive sport to play in the US. Its not a religion here. Its just a sport on the fringes.

​@@Anju876No sports aere religions here .Just money making entertainment

He's delusional.

It literally makes no sense

He had a point before Pulisic. The last few years a ton of Americans are finding success in England and several other countries.

@@spsawyer22 Pulisic largely failed in England

He lost Dempsey as well. Clint had to hop on the Prem team. Luckily, he had that card to save him from the second-hand embarrassment.😂

I agree 100%. I just think it’s honestly more of a social media “joke” where Americans are looked down upon lmao. I see it all the time on tiktok/twitter/instagram but I know for a fact that in reality if an American goes to any English team you support, the fans will support as long as you perform. Just like any other player of any nationality.

He is 100% correct, but no one actually countered Charly with anything, but something anecdotal from Micah!

Now that’s a good take and I’m glad Europeans are starting to dominate in nba cause I always go for the underdog but if they start to dominate all around..idk, I’ll feel a bit embarrassed cause it’s our own sport but still I’ll be happy for them haha

Key is…in NBA…those players had guys like Don Nelson who ignored the noise and gave them the chance and stuck with them when they had dry spells. That’s the point…no one in England would ever give top level US talent the same opportunity as others. And as for the two to the right of Clint…they are perfect examples of how English players are treated very different than others in England. Good blood were they average yet treated as special.

They still are....Luka Doncic not being first pick when he was best player in Euroleague at 18 or younger. Be able to be the best player in an adult ligue, thé best in Europe playin and dominating MEN instead of high school player in USA which are not even pros.

@@JesusGarcia-en6joeggball is pretty cool too though. Soccer is getting a lot more respect and views in America as of late though.

it’s the only win either side has actually had in the world cup against each other, every single other match was a draw. And yeah people disrespect americans particularly in england, not just for soccer but also just in general. So yeah every major point said was valid, Americans often do have to prove themselves to be better than the more donestic players in order to see the field at all, being as good as doesn’t cut it.

​@@thomasthomasthomas296 Well yeah.. why would domestic coaches play American players if they're only just as good as their other players? Randomly playing loads of US players who are average level over average domestic players would hurt their national team. There's just no incentive to do that. If you excel, you play, it's as simple as that. US players don't get a lot of respect because barely any have excelled in leagues outside the MLS. You earn true respect in sport by winning, not by turning up. Plenty of English players never lived up to their potential and were trashed online and by the media. Not saying it's right, but I'm also not going to argue coaches should pick them if they're not good enough.

Even Dempsey is like is this guy serious 😂

I remember him! Arsenal fan here and sure you're referring to the 92-93 season when we played you THREE times at Wembley in two different finals, as the FA Cup was replayed that year. Pretty sure Harkes scored in one of them. And nobody in either team was ever looked at as not being good or valid enough to be there, especially based on background and nationality. Credit where it's due, your team was immense back then, as getting to both UK domestic finals wasn't even a big surprise! Good times.....😎❤️😂👍

@@cjay6547 yeah the 93 side was legendary, hopefully we're on our way back if Danny Rohl stays in charge. Harkes' first final was in the 91 league cup final v Man Utd. good luck in winning the premier league this season :)

The system in the US does not favor the rich. Poor American players play other sports. European systems pay for top youth players. The other less quality players pay to play. Pro soccer is relatively new in America and has only recently gotten to place to be able afford to pay to train Academy players.

😢

Poor American kids are way richer than poor Brazilian kids. All those top Brazilian players were poor and grew up playing street football. All you need is the ball and some friends. The most accessible sport. It's the culture, America still doesn't love the game like other countries. You aren't obsessed, you aren't playing at any given opportunity, any where, any time

you have a good point there are more reasons, but that pay to play system which obviously favors players whose parents have money is frowned upon globally, esp when in other countries theyll play with a stuffed sock or some deflated ball and end up being better than some rich kid. So of course an american would have to prove themselves. Charlie also proved his point of not being a student of the game.

Thankful for Clint putting a bow on it at the end there. 9:38 😂

Yeah Micah was hearing a serious conversation and had to check out. It was all too much for the chap.

The crowd reactions when Titi started to talk though lmao!

This crew seems the only team on telly that aren’t forced to be politically correct or don’t seem to care (which is why I love watching them) so when Charlie started waffling on they didn’t hesitate to call him out on it

In football/soccer we do. Which is a weird place to be as an american. But otoh that makes us underdogs as well, which is a positive place. In the olympics we tend to dominate more than any other single nation. Its nice to have a sport where we have to fight and be underdogs, but ofc it comes with a healthy taste of an inferiority complex.

Dear Connor Taylor 08: American women in football have put the sport on the map and added significance to the pursuit. The U.S. has been the queen of the game for decades, blazing trails for the men to follow. What would the U.S. game be without wonderful women? U.K. to the U.S./N.Y. ex-pat here: Times are tricky in the deep-down U.S. discriminatory workplaces as an ordinary man, but I have an affinity for American women who strive to enhance the game I love.

@@eddyvideostar The US game for the men would probably be the same. I think the men and women game grow independently. What sparked interest for the men was the 1994 WC. What sparked interest for the women was the WWC. While you can have mutual crossover respect and some exceptions, generally women get inspired by female players and men get inspired by male players

​@@eddyvideostarNobody cares about women's sports, not even women. Most women watch the men's game instead.

I don't know about landon Donovan though...he ran back to the U.S. the first chance he got. and Tim Howard was good, but he was also a bit overhyped in the 2014 World Cup.

Brian McBride !

Yeah right 😂

@@el.aye.bee.4477 I hear what you're saying and I wish he had stayed in Europe longer for his legacy, but he largely stayed in the MLS to grow the league. Ask an Everton fan what they think of Landon Donovan, and even after his short stint there they'll rave about him. Also if you watch his Everton games, like actually watch them not quickly google some goal stats, he was a menace to the opposition. He also proved himself on the international level. Even for a large part of Dempsey's prime (and I really love Dempsey) Donovan was the man most feared in national games. In 2002 he won the young player of the tournament award--which is shared by Michael Owen, Lukas Podolski, Thomas Muller, Paul Pobga, Mbappe, etc. He wasthe most respected American international star. I think Pulisic is overtaking him now as a more skilled player and I have my fingers crossed that some of these other young guys like McKennie and Weah who are starting to catch fire surpass him as well.

@@el.aye.bee.4477saved 16 shots in one match and he’s ovverated 💀

he was really good. I bought him in my Football Manager game when I played as Newcastle lol

He was alright. Nothing amazing. Played a lot of games and did well at Blackburn. But he’s nowhere near “amazing”. He was never a top 10 keeper in the league if you consider his peak to be around 2000-2003; the best goalkeepers were: Schmeichel (villa & city), Seaman (Arsenal), Westerweld/Dudek (Liverpool), Given (Newcastle), James (Pompey/City), Sulllivan (Spurs), Jones (Saints), Van Der Sar (Fulham), Jaaskelainen (Bolton). Friedel was a decent keeper but he wasn’t at the level of these guys. He was in the next group down along with Sorresen (Sunderland), Poom (Derby), Sereni (Ipswich), an aging Flowers (Leicester), a young Bywater (West Ham), Taylor (B’ham), a very old Ogrizivic (Covvy), Kieley (Charlton).

Howard, Guzan, Keller...they have good hands 🤔

@@dazediss6629 "He was never a top 10 keeper in the league", except for maybe 2002 when he won the League Cup and got Man of the Match in the final, then the following season had the most clean sheets in the Premier League and was named as a starter in the PFA team of the year.

Yeah, but he had to earn respect because he was American. An English goalkeeper doesn’t have to earn respect, they’re given it

Actually no one take australia really seriously when it's about football. Even today. It doesn't mean you can't have some good, very good, great players/ coaches but come on Tim Who and Harry What ?

I'm not saying that's an every American mindset, because there are a lot of thoughtful American comments in this section, but that's how he came across before King Henry showed him what a real winner mentality is.

Spot on. People from all over the world live in the US. People from countries with an old, established football culture. And yet stuff like ESPN FC is ALL ABOUT the British ALL THE TIME. It’s biased and embarrassing.

If you're good enough it don't matter where you're from. I'd say that it's harder for African and Asian players to get to the top than US players purely due to the lack of resources in their countries yet for decades top African players have graced the top teams in Europe and increasingly Asian players too. My Gunners have a top player from each continent in Partey and Tomiyasu tearing up the opposition when they play, and we don't play them for charity we play them because they are top class pros, they are good enough. When our scouts find an American of such ability being American won't matter a jot, he'll play no different to anyone else in the squad.

@@darthwiizius Arsenal fan here wishing the gunners the best. That’s why I left the benefit of the doubt and let time do it’s part.

Maybe that’s the answer. Hope that in the end USA can have Generations of Elite players as top European countries do time will tell.

@@felixsaldivar7109 I think for US domestic football you'll need a bit of patience but with the flow of people coming in from Europe, South America and the wider World I'm fairly sure the audience will continue to grow. While that happens getting your top players, and young coaches too, into European teams will help lift standards in the meantime. There's no reason you can't get a number of your most talented in, you don't need to get 22 in because no international team has or wants 22 superstars in it. Half a dozen top players in Europe could produce a generational improvement in the USMST as a whole, not a World cup winning squad perhaps but one that would give American fans real hope when playing the top sides.

@@darthwiizius yup. Definitely makes a lot of sense. What’s your take on Mexican and Canada national team players? Which basically are the other two strongest Concacaf teams besides USA in no particular order these three are usually the better teams in Concacaf. What’s your take on them?

@@felixsaldivar7109 Mexico are usually always at a minimum standard, their league and national team is far more established than the rest of North America. Canada are massively improved recently and have really closed the gap on the US and Mexico over the last few years.

I don’t think the media was like that at all with Pep. Who would doubt his chances of success given his talent and the squad/money at his disposal?

@@JJSFC I don't know if you paid attention to the media, especially the commentators and the post conference matches, even the tabloids; they were doubting Pep's style of play and whether it would succeed in England because he wanted possession football which was not a style played in England. He didn't have a great start and the interviewers kept saying he will find it hard because this is the premier league and what not. Its on the internet if you need a refresher. And also when Pep came, the City squad he had was nowhere near any of the squads that came after. City in general was not a big club like it is now and he took it and made it into what it is now which is why they shut up. I don't know where you were in that period where he first came but Pep was highly criticised.

That’s not true for American players…. Clint literally just told you that he had to be better than other players to even be considered on the same level!

@@TheDarkKnightRacist I get that, but when it comes to football it becomes cult like and very fanatical….. you literally just admitted that there *IS* a discrimination towards foreigners in life, but when it comes to Americans and football it’s a bit more exaggerated.

The difference you're missing is the fact that Americans are ridiculed before they have the chance to either earn or lose respect. That's the whole point of this segment.

@@Pre1321 Have a competitive national league and perform well in the WC would be a good start, cant ask for respect if you have nothing to show for it.

This is the exact example I was gonna bring up for the other side of the argument. Very very comparable presence in the PL compared to Americans. But when Ange came in, nobody even really mentioned him being Australian apart from him saying "mate" a lot. "American" becomes the identity of the coaches and to some extent the players too until proven otherwise. Ange wasn't "Australian" he was just a unproven manager; it wasn't "can an Australian really manage in the PL?" Ange also doesn't represent the idea of an Australian manager either. If he fails, I highly doubt the next time an Australian manager comes along, you'd hear "well we don't know if they can do it." Bob Bradley effectively set back American coaches just because he didn't work out and every other American manager is like a test case for the rest. Jesse Marsch went to Leeds and he was cast with the same doubts because Bob wasn't a success. The reality, yes everybody has to prove their worth but that's obvious and beside the point really. It's just as though American managers specifically have other things they're criticized for that others aren't. Not even saying that it's a huge thing to overcome but it's another thing on top of the main thing. And who knows, maybe they can't do it for one way or another. Be it fair, they're just not good enough, or unfair where they don't garner the same respect to lead the team who knows. But Brazil doesn't have any managers either and they're pretty fine lol. Just an interesting topic imo

You’re wrong. Respect should be given to another person no matter what, unless they have wronged you.

Yeah that wasn’t the his point, he was saying that the American player could be at the same level as someone else in England but he would have to prove more because he’s American, obviously someone whos amazing is going to look amazing regardless

I’m sorry, but Howard wasn’t relevant at United. People remember him for his time at Everton, not United. No one even knows that he “played” for United even though he was on the reserves. If we want to take into account about your Concacaf players at United, there are players like Dwight Yorke and Javier Hernandez who may not be legends at United, but were loved and are still known for their time there. See the difference?

Entitlement and soft victim mentality plaguing the country

Trust me this not how every American thinks, he is the very few that think in nonsense way. Respect is earned, not given. You don’t deserve anything, you have to work hard then you will earn respect. This is also coming from an American who used to play football, but respect is earned I think that’s pretty much common sense.

Not all of them would be like that, but yeah us as Aussies wouldnt feel enititled. Weve had to work to get there, to point of Ange doing well now

Charlie speaks for himself, not every American.

Jesus man why do you put me into this guys bad take. I don’t think like that.

Yup they literally had to take all the respect they have now. And it’s only in the last two years they been getting it anyway.

By making that comparison he unknowingly agreed with Charlie's point. Of course respect has to be earned, but it's harder to do so when there's also stigma to get past.

Micah's reaction is the funniest for me 🤣

Poor Charlie should rather blame his accident. He defnitely had the talent to make the EPL.

You win ! Youre due nothing

British are Europeans

@@ERICTENHAG56 The British are the Americans of Europe. They live in their own world.

@@kingslayer1887 europeans live in thier own world lol they need Africans to win world cup for them 🤣

@@ERICTENHAG56 I agree, but America is the same way. After all, Black Americans are descendants of Africans, and you do well in sports because of them.

Absolutely. The football culture in the US is not the same as in Argentina, England, Germany, etc. Another thing is the style of Americans in football. in America football tends to be very physical rather than technical, most likely due to the fact of other sports, such as American football, where there’s a huge emphasis on physicality. The American youth is also just recently getting more into football I think because of people like speed who have increased the popularity of football among the youth. To end off, I think football is growing in the United States. It’ll take time to get to the level of European football. Regardless, the football mind of the American footballer needs to improve there needs to be more emphasis on the team, how the team connects passes, how to read the game, how to be more creative with the ball (like they do in Brazil) and the teams performance rather than individual physicality and individual performances. (sidenote, you won’t see MLS teams, nor United States national team play like Brazil plays where they anticipate movement where they defend with an idea to switch to offense, with an extra bit of flare. Rather, you’ll see the United States teams hit long balls just clear with no intention of getting anything out of it, Wild errors from defense. You won’t see pulisic like Leo, or Mbappé. It’s just that the American football IQ is just not up to par with other countries who have more knowledge of how to play the game) I think another thing that would help would be too model, the football league in the United States, i.e. the MLS, after the great leagues of Europe, with relegation and promotion. but like you said Americans are very prideful so I don’t think we’ll see these changes anytime soon if not ever

Yeah but Clint literally said he has to play way better than his teammates to even be considered… English players get overhyped all the time

@@S0L12D3so what ? we didn’t know where kvara was from but he showed us he was class last season, matter of facts he won the serie A mvp. If you’re good, you’re good that’s the end of it, even micah who came from england was benched here in Italy because he wasn’t all that

@@ilrepbrutto6081 that doesn’t really prove anything tho does it????? Yes Micah was benched but that was after he was found out…. Americans are severely disrespected by Europeans in football…. Do you even realise that when USA played England in the World Cup everyone said we would get demolished??? And the game ended in a draw.…. England were overestimated and America was underestimated!

​@@S0L12D3Nah we like Clint Dempsey, Tim Howard, Christian Pulisic. Top players. Weston Mckennie smashing it for Juventus. Reyna for BVB 🔥🔥 Only one who was forgettable was Landon Donovan 🤣 Didn't do much at Everton while Pulisic won the Champions League 😜

@@a.demifemiflapo5795 I’m not saying certain players haven’t gone on to achieve great things as Americans in football….. that’s not really the point of the discussion! There are even Englishman who will admit to you inTHIS COMMENT SECTION. That say Americans are extremely disrespected in football. I mean dude. Just look online. Everyone takes every chance they get to ridicule someone who’s American and speaks about the game….

A lot is a stretch, he won a couple games, let's give it time

Not true, ozzys don’t have that English hate “banter” when you see or hear a American you just laugh it’s so different, but tbf they don’t make it easy for themselves everytime I seen josh sargant in the prem I pissed my self laughing

same with poch at southampton

I think it probably didn’t help when football was “soccer” and not the national sport - way way behind NFL and baseball, it wasn’t taken seriously, and wasn’t an obsession like it is in the Uk. When older players went to play there, Beckenbaur, Best, Marsh etc it was a bit of a circus - pitch side entertainment etc, almost what this Saudi League scenario is now. So when a player or a coach came over, questions were asked - BUT like they would be asked about a Maltese player arriving 🤷🏻‍♂️. Bloke obviously had nothing else to moan about that day.

Nah we're used to Aussie players and even had an Aussie manager for the English rugby team

Sadly, this is a rampant American mindset

Not sure why Clint even opened his mouth, he did next to nothing in Europe

not sure why Charlie is even on that panel. No disrespect to bro... but there are way more decorated MLS players than him.

@@tonyvilla3 he was decent for Fulham.

@@shadow_realm47 won nothing

​@@tonyvilla3 Dempsey is literally Fulham's top Premier League goal scorer. He also went to a Europa League final with Fulham. And you're out here yapping in the comments section on your couch.
