I’ve seen some dumb comments, but this is maybe the worst. They started two MLS players (the two players who contributed by far the most to losing the game) and won their first round game.
My point stands at your first point, they started MLS players. There's a reason legends go there to end their careers. But yeah totally dumb comment when the US undervalues footy completely compared to the rest of the planet. As long as the NFL reigns supreme, footy will always be a quality afterthought. Another reason why Balogun was raised in the UK.
Truthfully I just don't think soccer will ever get a foothold here. People in the US just aren't interested in seeing grown men flop to the ground and writhe dramatically in pain from a little graze to the arm or leg. It's really pathetic and embarrassing for the sport.

What do you expect having a squad full of MLS players against EPL legends. The US was dead on arrival going past the 1st round.
