I honestly don't have the energy to engage with anyone who thinks this Uruguay team are world beaters because they beat the US 1-0 and won on penalties after a 0-0 with this version of Brazil. You can think that if you want.

This Uruguay team has like 3 world class guys (Ugarte, Valverde, Aruajo), 3 really good guys (Darwin I guess, Pellistri, Olivera), 2 good guys (Betancour and Gimenez). They also look really well organized.
Conversely, the USA has zero world class guys (since that's what started the discussion about Uruguay).

You can think that if you want. But you are engaging, and the US still hosted a tournament only to get knocked out of the group stages by Panama.

Nuri Sahin was voted the best player in the 2011 Bundesliga by Kicker and VDV after helping carry Dortmund to the league title.
He was world class for a minute but he was never the same after that knee injury.
edit: at age 21 at that

Copa America is such an inferior product that CONMEBOL needs to offset it by 2 years.

Dude the US hasn't even produced a player of Diego Forlan's quality, nevermind guys like Valverde or Suarez.

I'll give you Valverde and as far as there being no world class Americans, yeah no shit.

world class means best in the world at your position and i am saying that nuri sahin was one of the best in the world at his position until the knee injury, i'm not sure what's getting lost in this discussion

Yeah and Nuri Sahin was not best in the world in his position in 10-11. He wasn't even in the top 20 of the Ballon voting.

Between Endrick and Mbappe, Madrid not doing great business.
Idk how Ancelotti earnestly starts Rodrygo over Arda Guler now too.

Endrick is 17 and was getting his first start for a Brazil team that has sucked all tournament. Looked like it was his first time getting roughed up by a real defense. Needs a loan.

Its funny cause Spain probably has more immigrants with Morrocco being so close and Spanish speakers going there, but dude probably just lives a sheltered life in a gated community and has no idea about any of that.

Interesting. Woke up this morning and popped on twitter to see the original Kroos quote being plastered all over my feed. Though tbh it wouldn't surprise me because German's gonna german.
