You represent the US national team, but you're coached by four Dutch coaches? And if you were such a diamond in the rough (although really I know loads of people who represented Belgium at age 15 and they all suck now), why did you quit?

 

[The Curr]

I just heard there are only 429 registered footballers in Slovenia.

Registered as in pro?

Registered as in pro?

I'm not sure.

Yea, we had Dutch coaches, my manager was an American, and I just got tired of it and wasn't allowed to play in college.

 

[Seven]

I'm not sure.

Their first division will have more than 429 players.

25x18=450

And most teams have more players than 25.

So you had Dutch coaches, you got tired of it an you weren't allowed to play in college.

Yes, I can see that there's a lot of football culture in the US.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Probably Slovenian players only, but that's a guess.

I still think it's only pros. Wouldn't make sense otherwise.

I never argued that there was or wasn't, I just said that for ~20 years I played every day, talked about it every day, et cetera.

Their first division only has 10 teams.

Their first division only has 10 teams.

That would still be about 300 players. And they'll have lower divisions too.

Yea, that's what I meant.

Slovenian professional players.

 

[Bjerknes]

Indeed. So you talk about it for hours, you think about it for hours. Andy's got his mentally challenged friend and a couple of other social outcasts he can talk to about the game.

And I talk about the game for hours, constantly, with my mentally challenged, social outcast friends. What's the difference?

Because you have all of society to talk to. The chances of you meeting someone who knows more about football than you do are 1/2. The chances of Andy doing the same are 1 in a million.

Mmh, baby. Thanks for the head.

 

[The Curr]

Yeah, it must be professionals. Still, it's pretty amazing that their national team is as good as it is.

 

[Seven]

.

So you're a big soccer fan then?

 

[Seven]

Yeah, it must be professionals. Still, it's pretty amazing that their national team is as good as it is.

The team that almost raped the USA has players who hardly even play in the Belgian first division. Ljublijankic rarely starts a game.

So you're a big soccer fan then?

I hate sawker. Sawker is for pussies and violent people. If the US won the world cup, everybody else in the world would suddenly hate sawker and love rugby.

Too bad nobody over there would celebrate.
