@BrianLehrer you know there are now 2 #MLS teams in #NYC and one of them has exactly 0 aging European stars and is doing very well! #RBNY

@brianlehrer I don't think it will help the US that much - they should invest in their own American talent

US has more support for its women's soccer team than any other country. Next it should pay them a fair wage. -@GavinCleaver

We need better sports films as well. The last great American soccer film was Ladybugs! @BrianLehrer
