Shut Up, England: Why The English Still Can’t Talk to America About Soccer

from The Tom Gulley Show · host Tom Gulley

For decades, English fans and pundits have treated American soccer like a punchline. Tom Gulley has had enough. In this episode of The Tom Gulley Show, Tom unloads on the myths, arrogance, and misinformation surrounding American soccer. From England’s surprising inability to beat the United States in FIFA World Cup competition to the endless parade of pundits who confidently discuss a game they barely understand, Tom offers a passionate, opinionated, and often hilarious defense of the American soccer tradition. Having followed, played, coached, studied, and analyzed the sport for more than fifty years, Tom brings a perspective that cuts through the clichés. He takes aim at bad takes from both sides of the Atlantic, challenges conventional wisdom, and explains why soccer expertise is far rarer than most television analysts would have you believe. If you've ever rolled your eyes at soccer commentary, this one's for you. #TomGulleyShow #Soccer #USMNT #England #Football #WorldCup #AmericanSoccer #PremierLeague #ThreeLions #FIFA #SportsTalk #USSoccer thetomgulleyshow.com
