@herculezg American soccer fans are learning. They are beginning to understand that US Soccer is controlled by MLS/SUM. Competing on the world stage is just not a priority. Participation in the WC is their highest goal.

@herculezg It's ticket prices. Over $100+ a ticket to see the Gold Cup B team play Saudi Arabia (no interest) is too expensive. They want more fans? make it more accessible and worth it, Charge B team prices.

@herculezg It's an unbelievably unlikeable team that seems like they're doing us a favor by playing for the USA. I've tried and tried and tried, but I can't get behind them.

@herculezg Ticket prices are way too expensive. It’s as simple as that.

@herculezg Are attendances actually even down though? Or more specifically is the attendance of us fans actually down? I don’t really ever remember gold cup group stage matches packing in the fans.

@herculezg Yes by winning but also you can drop the prices of the tickets by $40

@herculezg For some it’s the ‘Trump dance’ Christian did. Others the rainbow rights logos. Others want to see their fav player not there, poor advertising, high prices, preference to watch Club WC.

@herculezg The football is mediocre, the effort is half what it should be, the players' personalities are selfish and spoiled, and the branding is partisan (stupid rainbow). It's also the case that the media packaging (which is shallow and inauthentic) is social, not athletic.

@herculezg Aside from the bigger picture stuff ticket prices have been absurd for years and despite fans constantly complaining about this the federation continues to do nothing about it.
