The Reality Of Football In America

ohhh he mean soccer in america. was hoping for a foreigner to talk about real football.

Great video. The thing about celebrating winning the conference has to do with the fact that the U.S. is a huge country, so it does mean a lot to win your side.

Speaking as a Portland supporter, it's not that our groups (Rose City Riveters and Timbers Army) object to being filmed, per se. It's that the groups were built by fans, for fans. Anyone is welcome to join! But what we do isn't for monetization. No endorsements, no sponsors; we're not "content." If you have a profit motive, either film from a distance (so it's clear that you're not affiliated) or turn the camera off.

If you want a crazy game, go to a Texas derby between Austin FC and FC Dallas.

as a pretty new MLS fan because my city now has a team (San Diego FC) that is actually very good, i love to see this honest take about the league and its growth as well as the real passion from the fans. would love to see some more videos about MLS in the future.

I honestly think Euros would love the MLS hockey style PK. Maybe handball in the box have to be a run up penalty and the contact foul can be a spot penalty

Honestly pretty impressive
You don't need amazing chants, all you need is to support your team and these fans did it

About the World cup 2026, this will be interesting, watching this video i think they could get close, or even overtake rop 3 sports in US. Big problem might be that US right now is detaining lot of visitors to the country, this could hurt their numbers in stadiums on US matches. I hope murica gets better and that they can grow this sport well

The west coast teams of the USA are heavily influenced by Latinamerican football vibes.

still a joke

Awesome video one of my favorites on football, lots of people didn't like being filmed but really appreciate it

You gotta go see LAFC at BMO next time you get a chance

The fact that a team in Los Angelous had a empty suite for you to occupy during a important game tells you what you need to know about where the game is.

I support SKC but you guys saw the people outside the stadium a bunch of low T dudes who always seem to be balding who never played sports growing up but latch onto the MLS. Then you have the Hispanics who truly are growing the game here the right way and not using cringe chants.

When the MLS gets the “bros” from the NFL to pay attention then the sport will grow.

RIP Tampa Bay Mutiny I remember going to their games in the early 2000s. Also, pregame culture exists bc pub culture and public transportation in America is downright terrible

How about Villa???

If it’s so hot in LA, why were you wearing a coat?!?! 😮

MLS is retarded, really non sensical structure and awful at promoting the sport at youth levels. Especially robbing parents of hard earned money and calling it business when the European model has proven very successful to invest in youth development at no to very little cost to kids and parents. Shameful and pathetic unfortunately.

Another huge issue. No Europa League. No Champions league. No one gives a shit about CONCACAF.

MLS will attract no really good players because…. Why? Why would a really good player choose to play in the MLS? They’ve already established the league as a retirement home.

I prefer USL & APSL.

wait till USL division one comes on the scene

Mls is one of tops leagues in the world? Whaaats for god sakes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The hardest thing about playing soccer is telling your parents your gay

Fans chanting get LA players depressed, Mexican/American or vice versa don't know how to make a good song to motivate the players

They always lose and get destroyed by Mexican teams 😂

Thats your problem, you went to LA Galaxy, not LAFC. LAFC is a more relatable football club, that has a strong supporter section and where European players actually want to sign and play with. Galaxy only started a supporter section after LAFC came in. LAFC has been more successful since their inception.

Galaxy stadium is not even their own, it is a University stadium, so not a baseball stadium but not dedicated for only Galaxy, they rent it from a Univserity, LAFC have their own dedicated stadium! YOU need to watch a LAFC match and you'll see a true football club

LAFC has a better fan section... feels like an energy drink... but direclty in your face.

“One of the top leagues in the world” ok 😂

Galaxy are absolute trash... suites. the team everything... LAFC way better

Why tha fuck are Clubs called FC If they call it socker 😂

Brand new fan, you got me with the Mexico video and then this is dope as well. Great content 🎉🎉

The transitions give me Kill Bill Vibes 😂

Lies!!! He didn’t even want to say hi. 😂😂😂

W 🔥

The fight and win guy is hilarious, that video with the difference between European chants to American is so funny 😂😂

I would give my left arm for a Philadelphia Union MLS championship lift.

Dallas Tx native… MLS fans are the cringiest people in the world

We are heading into year 30 of professional soccer in America and it has grown both on and off the field tremendously. Beckham was a major turning point. The Designated Player was huge. Apple TV + was another. Messi/Suarez/Busquets/Alba are the latest major development. But you could also look at Atlanta when they built Mercedes Benz Stadium - absolute next level. And now you have teams like Austin and Cincinnati, and Charlottesville that are really making waves. Inter Miamis new stadium will be another major influence.--My prediction though is that the future of the game here will yet again see another shift with the USL Pro/Rel in 2027. There are no salary caps as well for this league. And since buying a USL team does not cost $500 million, the owners can spend more on players making the game better. I wouldn't be surprised if some MLS owners became USL owners and moved players back and forth.

Beckham was a big name but the true pioneer was Carlos “el pibe” Valderrama, who played for the miami fusion

Soccer is your word!

When I was a kid Baseball was HUGE! But I feel over time the culture has shifted a little, and the latin american influence has really brought people around to soccer. I'm not sure if soccer is the 4th sport as opposed to hockey... but its gotta be close.

How do you not add Cuautemoch Blanco to the MLS legends list, I would say if it wasnt for him they wouldnt have such a large mexican audience now too!

Winning the western cup is the equivalent to winning the la Liga title and winning the MLS cup is like winning the champions league

For some reason the mic went weird and made me slightly high pitched, no idea why 😂

Hope you all enjoy the video though!
