Stick to the law, Jeffrey, because this is a very, very wrong take on soccer in America:
Why is @ussoccer so terrible? 330 million people. Every kid plays soccer. And we can't even qualify for the World Cup? Appalling.

Yes, the men’s team didn’t qualify for the World Cup this year. Ho-hum. But the U.S. women’s team kicks ass, which he’s ignored probably because he hates women or something (their rules, right?):
1. Women’s team DOMINATES
2. this was the first time in 30+ *years*
3. This logic makes ZERO sense. The US does not *love* soccer. https://t.co/Q8NmadrNaP— Dianna E. Anderson ?️? (@diannaeanderson) October 12, 2017
Every American kid doesn't play soccer. Not even close. The US women's team won the World Cup THREE times. It IS appalling, so 1-out-of-3… https://t.co/6qnC871Xd3

Note: You can save a lot of trouble by referring to #USMNT for clarity of who is terrible. https://t.co/zIpeoQxV3n

Really? Because I’m pretty sure the U.S. women’s team is the best in the world and have the trophies to prove it. https://t.co/zLUJ5p0zOY

Plus, we really like how the U.S. Women’s National Team lets off a little steam:
