    Most people in the US didn’t realize there was even a US team in the World Cup at all. Any who thought they had a “real shot” are definitely in the minority, and they exist in every country.

      The kinds of people I’m talking about are ones who have a local MLS team whose matches they attend, but they also have a favourite European team… and yet, somehow they don’t realize the vast gulf in quality between a player for Real Salt Lake and Real Madrid.

      Timothy Tillman? He wasn’t good enough for any club in the Bundesliga, but he plays for LAFC. He should do fine in a midfield battle against Kevin de Bruyne and Youri Tielemans!

      FOOTBALL(soccer) isnt as popular as in EU or the rest of the world, less resources devoted to that sport than in the EU. the people in my university in the states that played soccer aspires to be in a EU league, or at least one that plays in the EU more, they know the US teams are shit.
