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 =))

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.

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 😂

^^^^^^^^^^^ this!!!

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.

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.....😎❤️😂👍

@@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.

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.

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).

Charlie is the personification of American's arrogance.

Sounded like "we weren't good enough to play in a world cup for 40 years, but I'm an entitled American and I want my respect". 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.

What was he yapping about the game at the WC, of course England expected to win, they're the better team 😂 lets be real here

Playing victim doesn’t work outside the US

It dominates sports only it plays. Never seen America dominate say Mens Tennis (i'll give you female but the argument could be made we aren't talking about the USWNT), F1, Rugby, Cricket, Darts or Snooker for example. It dominates things like Basketball, American football and Baseball. Games most other countries don't play.

Japan has a very competitive baseball league.

Friedal was well regarded in England mate, Scouse no1 keeper and still playing in the PL beyond 40. Anyone who achieves that level of career for that long is a very good footballer full stop.

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. I’ve witnessed the U.S. football ⚽️ development here in America and is due to allowing U.S players grow in European clubs from an early age and that has helped tremendously in the development here. 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.

Learn what disrespect means???🤦🏻‍♂️ dude I literally played at a college where all our coaches and many players were English and Spanish! The amount of times I hear them talk sht about American footballers was beyond measure

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.

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.

​@ruiz1871 eh its because the Olympics wasnt alwaya taken serious by many before its kike boxing. For many years americans only dominanted not because americans are the perfect genetic lot lol😂but it was definitely more closed unlike now . Baseball is another example of US declining

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.

How do you think Donovan did in the EPL compared to Howard and Dempsey?

He did next to nothing, should be going over earlier

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?

That was brutal 😂

I agree there's been some Americans playing elite football and the national team has been rather decent. But nothing else is special about them. You need to earn your respect just like any other sport. Since futbol is respected worldwide, some countries who paved the way and grinded for the trophies take it as disrespect. Just like in any other sport

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.

Alphonso Davies said this on a podcast earlier this year: “Barcelona actually reached out but the president said that they didn’t want me,” Davies said. “They said that they didn’t want me because I was Canadian. Not gonna lie, that crushed my feelings a little bit.” It shows that this kind of idiocy isn't only against Americans, but also that it's real, and you can take it straight from Alphonso Davies that it did affect him emotionally even though he's gone on to be a respected player for Bayern.

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.

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

You don't know where I'm from, dawg

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….

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.

He did as well as could be expected with that team,,, and at least as well as the two guys that followed him.

Sadly, this is a rampant American mindset

The wrong words one is wierd. Why would someone a continent away care about the words europe uses.

@@random_adlibbecause America tries to change everything. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Saying wrong words is probably the dumbest thing you could’ve said, people from different cultures call things differently. Are you too trapped in your little bubble that you can’t realize that?😂

​@@random_adlibThe ENTIRE world calls it football

​@@doubleg381If you're trying to assimilate into a new group to which you have no/little respect...first thing is to speak the language

It looks to me like the US will have to have at least one who's not just good but indisputably world class at one of the biggest clubs for multiple seasons without derailing injuries. There are non-Americans in these comments naming 4+ American players they think have been good in Europe, and people still saying that just one player would end the bias. Clearly not, because here we still are. Various Americans getting Best Young Player at a World Cup, a Champions League semifinal away goal against Real Madrid to get Chelsea to the last final they won and having the best attacking stats per 90 minutes at Chelsea, an FA Cup win and another FA Cup final as goalkeeper for Manchester United and Everton, being named to the PFA Best XI, earning more than 200 consecutive Premier League appearances and more than 100 clean sheets for the club, being a Leagues Cup-winning goalkeeper, being Player of the Year at Premier League clubs, being a club's all-time top Premier League scorers, setting the record for most saves in a single World Cup match, being one of the league's hardest fullbacks to dribble past and setting the record for most interceptions by a single player in a Premier League match, Pep Guardiola saying he would sign a player for Man City if he were younger after Man City played against his club, scoring the game-winning goal in a Champions League match this year, scoring 21 goals in a Ligue 1 season, having 5 goals and 2 assists in 12 Serie A appearances and being Milan's signing of the season so far in many Milan fans' opinion, having 16 appearances for Milan already in a first season there as a 21-year-old... The above contains descriptions of 11 different USMNT players at their European clubs. There are several other Americans who are currently starters at clubs in the top European leagues. None of that really seems to have registered much outside of the US and the particular clubs they've played for. There are still people in these comments claiming that Americans haven't shown they're worthy of playing in the top European leagues 20 years after the US already had players with good careers in the Premier League. Same thing seems to be true for Canadians and Australians: one good player doesn't do it, and neither do four good players. It seemingly has to be an absolutely key player or manager for one of the very biggest clubs for a critical mass of people to really absorb it, like a Postecoglou or Alphonso Davies. A Mark Vikuda or Jonathan David will get pings on the radar but ultimately not move the needle much, to mix metaphors.
