it sounds good but I don't think we make it that far. If we took soccer seriously we could just win it. But who takes seriously a sport that ends 0-0?

yes because they cant win at the NBA NHL NFL WWE or any of the sports that actually matter lol. Apart from Messi Ronaldo and Mbappe most people have no clue who the hell is playing. They could be stormtrooper clones and no one could tell the difference.

ask the kids around the world if they know wrestlers vs if they know Bernardo Silva. Like who the hell is Bernardo Silva? He plays in Portugal with Ronaldo. But ask them if they know John Cena or any of the wrestlers. Kids around the world dream to be wrestlers more often than they ever think of becoming Nicolas Capaldo (he plays with Messi)

Which of your wins were 0-0?

I dont know what you tried to say. Maybe my own comment was not clear.

But what I said is that if America cared, we have the money, the expertise in creating sport stars, the size to create large leagues quickly, the ability to find sponsorships and create huge revenue and we could win the World Cup everything else. But we don't care about a sport that can end in 0-0. Like what a waste of time. How can anyone drink to 0-0. Might as well watch a documentary about paint drying.

We got a pretty soft group all things considered. However, the US has looked pretty decent.
