American Reacts To How America Stole European Football

[@TomVanhimbeeck650]

Please DON’T stop pausing the video. We want to hear your perspective and input. That’s why we watch this video. If you aren’t reacting, you are just stealing content, views and money from the original creator. You reacted to a 10 minute video for over 25 minutes. That’s great. You made the video your own instead of doing a lazy reaction video. So again. Please keep pausing and giving your opinions.

[@omari4234]

I always thought if you don’t like when reaction channels pause just simply watch the original video, that simple 🤷‍♂️

[@georgelicense3492]

yes!

[@yaaobenewaah1697]

Nobody hates the pauses except a few weirdos. Most of us are here for your perspective and not the video you're reacting to

2:12 bros ball knowledge. As a fellow American thanks for keeping it real

[@WisdomWaves7]

I think its interesting how Black people in America generally don't watch football or aren't as interested, because its by far the biggest sport for black people in the world as a whole. People literally kill eachother over it in Africa for example, and guys like Giannis/Embiid who grewup overseas say their first dream was to be a football player rather than the NBA. But in America its seen as either a rich suburban white kid thing, or a latino thing. Crazy how the perception of something can be so different depending on where you are.

[@wxbull-sr5sh]

Yep it's pretty big even like in Africa as a whole. Like I'm Egyptian, I know we aren't like black people lol. Culturally and when it comes to identity we are Arab. But some of us are genetically mixed with arab, European and African genes so yea idk what we are to be honest lol, but people in Egypt love football, by far our number 1 sport and it's the same for the whole African continent, and for the rest of the Arab world too, like when people say Qatar doesn't have football culture, from the insight of an Arab person like me, I was surprised how clueless people were like literally I know they do lol but they just don't have a good enough youth system and stuff.

[@A.M.T.E]

@@wxbull-sr5shyes even as a Eritrean I went back home for the first time and playing soccer is huge their, second to cycling of course. Africa is very diverse like in East or North Africa is connected to the Middle East, Europe and Sotheast Asia.

[@A.M.T.E]

In America, these two sports 🏈🏀 are easily accessible, hopefully soccer makes its way if the scouting is much improved and the youth programs get kids from low income communities.

[@Guldberger]

I think If Football (soccer) is ever truly going to grow in America, it has to grow locally and organic, the same way it grew in Europe and South America. Every single village, town or big city in Europe and South America have at least one football club representing them in the national pyramid system. People have a much stronger connection and are invested in a team from their own local town, than a club from a completely different state, regardless if they have Messi or another half-retired superstar. It's a huge problem for American football (soccer) that only a few cities are represented in the pyramid, since MLS only allow like 15 clubs. It's no joke when we say that football is much more than just a game. It's about local pride, rivalries with your close neigbours, either between two towns close to eachother, or two teams from the same city. Historically and culturally, the different teams have different demographics

[@Jay-sm2mh]

And we have to stop trying to Americanize the league

[@StylistecS]

I think that is the biggest issue for professional sports in America. The money is in the cities and that’s how it gravitates here. The closest thing we have to this is college sports but it’s still nowhere close to being on par with European and South America sports. Professionally you have minor leagues in baseball and basketball but none of those teams will never compete with the senior teams as our leagues are closed. The mentality is going to be very hard to fix. Like damn near impossible to fix. Which is part why I don’t see football(soccer) reaching its potential here.

[@possessedboy4908]

USA is p2w

[@HaroldYovannyVarela]

I agree but disagree if organically grown I feel like it will take just as long for people to watch the women's game since the viewers aren't really watching them. on the other hand it seems like the most feasible option so I really don't know

[@Justin23.]

Tbh after watching the super bowl between chiefs and 49inders at first didn't really understand it game fully but I started playing madden on my phone I slowly understand it a little bit and I been watching highlights of different teams and how they structure In terms of different plays the only thing I'm not really a fan of is too much commercial I can't complain because I'm not used to it.

[@dylanyost9425]

America divides sports racially but outside America football unites sports within every religion or skin colour.

Good video lil bronco 👌🏽👌🏽

[@kentgrady9226]

The USL pyramid is going to be the driving force of the sport in the US. If you are an architect or engineer, you don't design a building from the penthouse down. You build it from the foundation up. Likewise, you don't build a sports league by simply dropping a team in a big city and saying, "Have at it, y'all". While it is painfully obvious that USL needs organization and structure, those leagues are doing things properly for the most part. Just this year, 5500 people attended the USL One final in Omaha, and 8000 attended the USL Championship final in Colorado Springs. Neither city is particularly large, but both clubs have strong local supporter bases. In the case of Union Omaha, a brand new downtown stadium is being built on the riverfront. And, after winning three shields and two league cups in five years, they are in line to self promote to the Championship. Between the two leagues, ten+ clubs will be added in the next two years in markets ranging in size from existing major league cities (Buffalo, Cleveland, Milwaukee, New Orleans) to small cities like Portland, Maine. This is how you build - create local passion where demand exists, rather than cramming a ready-made product in flooded markets with strong competition for the entertainment dollar. *IF* the USL pyramid can consolidate and restructure intelligently, *AND* implement a viable promotion and relegation structure, eyeballs will flock to it. It is high past time. There are, or soon will be, 90 independent, full time professional football clubs in the US, plus 27 full time professional reserve squads. There are furthermore ~ 180 amateur development clubs (USL 2). The USSF needs to grow a pair and figure out a plan to create a five league professional pyramid, along with a ten league, promotion-eligible national amateur league system. The clubs are there, operating and playing in communities. Just... get... it... done.

[@black.sasuke.uchiha]

14:14 there’s a few reasons why. One is because those art pieces, especially if it’s unique(no duplicates) or from a famous artist, they can be resold for much higher amounts. Think rare Jordans, etc. Also, you get tons of tax benefits, I heard. But of course, the high prices enables only the higher income brackets to participate in these financial benefits. Also just a status symbol. So yeah, that’s why. As for the Bundesliga, not only is the style of play very suitable for people coming out of MLS, but there’s also a loooooot of Americans of German descent. At least in my part of the country.🤷🏿

[@HectorMariecote]

I dont know if thats the reason but Bundesliga has some Americans playing there.

[@JGLFootball]

MLS has actually grown a lot. I wish they didn’t sign the Apple deal but they’ve moved from a 20-25th ranked league to top 10 within about 10 years

[@kryss2056]

top 10 in terms of what? retired players? revenue?

[@JGLFootball]

@ in terms of football power index. MLS is ranked top ten on numerous sites

[@riccorich]

The narrator doesnt realize MLS loses visibility the Apple TV deal because there is no presnece of MLS in other outlets

8:20 honestly, La liga isn’t interesting unless you watching it for Real Madrid or Barcelona. That’s why La liga all the way down here. Any fans of the other clubs in La Liga mostly live in Spain

But less than Bundesliga? So you’re telling me more people are tuning in to watch Bayern and some Dortmund than Barca, Madrid, and some atleti

[@nestorcanjura3811]

atléti is a snooze fest, and if Americans are playing abroad, most are in the Bundesliga I think? Idk I’m just tryna see how La liga ain’t above mls, I was confused too

15:15 bronco you’re not offending anybody, this applies to any country when you introduce something that isn’t really apart of the culture, it’s like when they have nfl games in Mexico and Europe,people that are into it will watch but like soccer here it’s more of a niche sport…

At least you’re being honest at the end bronco😮

[@gustavox258]

You gotta check out something from the 94 world cup

[@423vol4]

8:20 Bundesliga having more viewers isn’t surprising because German clubs for decades have always signed American players, more than the PL actually. Before this current gen, the early 2010s USMNT under Klinsmann had a ton of German dual nationals. Heck most of the current gen started or played in Germany (Pulisic, Adams, McKennie, Pepi, Scally, Richards, Reyna, Tillman etc) That and there’s a large chunk of Americans with german heritage, especially in the Midwest

[@RoscoeN17]

[@riccorich]

Even if MLS is the top soccer league in the World it wont be top 3 on the US.. US sports are bigger in the USA

[@kryss2056]

well it never will be even close to top football league in the world so there’s that

[@porafriken]

there is only one way i can think of that will actually increase interest in “soccer” in the US. There needs to be a world class american player. No need for the whole team to be good just have that one player (no Pulisic is not enough). that will get the casual population to at least loosely follow the sport by following that player.

[@riccorich]

Well the best Athletes are Black American and Most that's MoST Black Americans do not play soccer

the bundesliga has more viewers than la liga because to watch la liga is so fucking hard due to only one channel having it, and bundesliga and premier league mainly the premier league are more available in more channels

[@riccorich]

Bundesliga is primarily on ESPN+ LA Liga is the same

[@jordiesenpai1799]

@ la liga is only in being sports which is something only cable channels give u when u buy a better package that’s why it’s so low in viewership, most people don’t buy a higher package cable

[@riccorich]

@jordiesenpai1799 la Liga is on ESPN +

[@georgelicense3492]

As long as the NBA and NFL exist, soccer will never be big in the US. Don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t mean that the sport won’t grow. But it will take longer than other countries. These projects take time

[@NOKOOG]

Kids know Messi. Kids love Messi. The heroes of yesteryear like Jordan are so far in the past, their impact is only declining and will continue to. Americans respect fame and influence and they are starting to realize how big these global soccer stars really are, and it's appealing. As the World Cup happens in the US, the possibility for global fame and recognition will become clearer and more tangible for American youth and soccer's popularity will continue to grow.

[@DaBronco]

I promise you Americans don’t care about how popular footballers are around the world 😭. We only care about our own

[@NOKOOG]

​@@DaBronco What I'm saying is they are starting to see it, and it will become more apparent when the World Cup happens. The demographics of the US are changing and the youth are more interested in soccer than ever before. All my little cousins (boys and girls) play soccer now, and that's in the white suburban deep south where college football used to be king. Young people in the US have never experienced global competition on their doorstep, but they soon will. And it will change everything.

[@paulo6687]

​@@DaBronco Thank you for saying what I've been saying for many years. Your angle is spot on. American society is still a very insular society. Even though most mainstream Americans know soccer is the most popular sport in the world, they still look at it like it's a sport for foreigners and really don't care for it. I had a conversation at work the other day with a couple of coworkers. One of them actually thought the Super Bowl was the biggest sporting event globally. My other coworker corrected him and said that it's not and that the rest of the world watches soccer. The other guy was so shocked he had to Google it to see if it was true. lol. Most Americans really only care what's happening in America. They don't care about the rest of the world. Bronco is totally right.

[@joules_sw]

16:00 Bro I really don't understand what you mean. There's people of every color in latin america and we all play the same stuff...also wasn't basketball considered a sport only for white people like long ago?

[@DaBronco]

I'm not talking about race I'm more so talking about heritage. American's like American things, to get soccer to appeal to the casual American sports audience you have to create an American identity. People here view soccer as a Latino thing.

[@Pocholo86]

Bronco when are you going to react to when argentina beat usa in basketball the Olympic 2004 bron bron d wade and AI couldn't beat a soccer nation 😅

[@Delboy0]

This video is horrible and highlighting the wrong things. Soccer is growing because it has already taken over Ice Hockey in the USA and soon to take over Baseball. There was a study that more kids under 15 follow a soccer team than MLB. The problem for the MLS is they put themselves behind a pay wall before it has established a mainstream presence, killing the momentum of the league. The EPL is drinking their milkshake because it is only league that gets games shown on network TV and is driving the growth of soccer in the USA, especially with popularity shows like Ted Lasso about the EPL. So the EPL is getting bigger in the USA and MLS has hindered their growth with the Apple deal.

[@riccorich]

No it hasn't soccer is mainly popular among latinos, not in thr US mainstream plus NHL is one league , soccer is fragmented in the US

I know it will not be,Americans will screw it up. But one question. Why is Premiere League considered the best League if From 2000-2024 they won only 6 trophies in Evrope, and Spain Won 26. La liga teams wining or drawing 73 matches vs Premiere League teams. And Premiere League teams just 25times. England is considered the Best League becose the media is 90%from England,and becose people watch it more becose of How manny goals there is in a Match. Becose there is no defence,as you can see in Last 20 years on why they couldn't win more in Club and National team. I rather watch a good football Match and Result is 1:0 or 2:1. Then 5:4,4:4 or 3:4 with 40 shoots on goal from both teams.
