I didnt misunderstand anything, I just ignored it because I agree with it, there was nothing to add to that.
What I dont agree with is calling the US a non footballing country based on some arbitrary line in the sand that you seem to have drawn.
Nothing you said was particularly hard to comprehend, for anyone really. If your point was just that no one should get to host every 40 years then thats all you need to say.
If your going to consider other parts of your statement irrelevant to your point then dont make them. Because if it is relevant than Australia qualifies even less than the US in terms of "footballing country"
Frankly its condescending to people who care about football in the US, especially when they have a healthy league (in terms of attendance and popularity if not quality) and decent national team.
+ Show Spoiler +You also went ahead and called Russia bigoted and Qatar racist countries but I dont really care about that enough.
Considering Blairs recent statements, Englands involvement in Iraq should disqualify them for the next 100 years, hows that for leading with your line of logic?
If your not going to think things through, dont say them because your living in a glass house too when it comes to accusing other countries of doing bad things. Not that I have any love for Russia or Qatar. honest fuck Qatar, but still.

Watching Bayern vs Frankfurt, Robben showing the world that dutch people still can fly even though they are not flying to the european cup.
|
Robben dive
0:0, 5 minutes added to help out tho
edit: didn't help Bayern lose, well kinda
That ref was confusing tho. Didn't fall for the two late dives for pens and called a lose (correct) offside goal against them, but then added five minutes despite no goals, no major delays noinjuries
|
should've dived a bit earlier there
|
You know its the amazing gall to then glare and gyrate at the ref for not giving a call that really gets me.

The look in his eyes like the referee did they most treacherous move of all time.
"But i took the effort to dive! You have to give me a penalty for that, do you even know who i am?!?"

Sepp Blatter has rejected complaints made by football’s biggest sponsors over a bribery and corruption scandal, saying they were politically motivated and made at the behest of the US.
Blatter has been suspended from Fifa as part of the fallout from a US Department of Justice investigation into bribery, money-laundering and wire fraud at the sport’s governing body.
The 79-year-old had initially been set to remain in his post until next year, despite a string of arrests of top Fifa officials, until a group of major sponsors issued coordinated calls for him to go. Blatter was suspended a few days later.
“It is the American companies,” Blatter told the Financial Times in an interview in a reference to sponsors including Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Visa, and Budweiser owner Anheuser-Busch InBev.
“The other companies haven’t said anything. So you are intelligent enough to make the connection with American companies and the American investigation. I do not need to underline that.”
Fifa, which Blatter ran for 17 years, is engulfed in the biggest scandal of its history, with 14 officials and sports marketing executives indicted by the US.

Whoa you're quite the angry little man! Your original reply sounded like you misunderstood and thought I was saying Aus is a football nation whereas I'm saying neither Aus or USA is so 2022 should have been Aus as they've never had it. Please no more long rants or do it in private so only I have to ignore you.

if you were saying neither country is a football country then perhaps you should have said both countries and not just USA in your original comment. dont see any "angry" comments in what he said.

Sorry, the opportunity was to good to let it pass 
I'd rather have the netherlands at the cup than some other teams like turkey, albania or ireland/wales. It is impressive that some of the very small teams qualified and they definetly earned it but without netherlands there is just something missing

Why would I be angry? Sure Im being stern. But I have no reason to be angry, none of these countries have anything to do with me.
But your commentary comes off as a condescending and arrogant, a great example is this terrible attempt at the proverbial "u mad bro?: your trying to pull with me now.
Perhaps your just ignorant of that fact. Infact now I'm sure you are. I was just showing you the right way. I feel like its the right thing to guide people to see the error of their ways. + Show Spoiler + (yes this is an example of the condescending tone of your posts on this matter. especially considering your flat out wrong with the things I pointed out)
I have no problem with the hosting rotation and limits between the oppurtunity to host, and there are lots of good arguments to make a case for what your suggesting other than that aswell. But the ones you offered were disastrous and insulting to alot of people here.
If you think that was a rant then you havent seen my real rants. I cant be held accountable for any allergies you might have toward reading comprehension
