B03: Soccer in a Football World

Author: David Wangerin

There’s a quote in this book, p. 117 in the edition I have, that sums up so much of what I find so interesting and so endearing about American Soccer — After a 6-0 loss by the United States Men’s National Team to the Scottish National Team in Scotland’s Hampden Park in 1952, officials from the US Soccer Federation who had attended the match telegrammed to their headquarters in New York: “107,765 in attendance; score secondary.”

Isn’t that just it? Hasn’t it always been ‘score secondary’ for American soccer? That is what’s defined my appreciation for the way that this sport has played out in the country in which I grew up. American Soccer has survived in spite of itself, and in spite of its spectators and media and surrounding culture, and though its history is fraught, inconsistent, often weird, rarely triumphant and never without caveat when it is triumphant, I remain enamored with it. I see a game that stumbles to achieve cultural and social footholds and survives more than anything else and I admire that more (and find it more interesting) than the self-sustaining machines that otherwise define major American sports. It’s paradoxical — we go years without a top division league and our men’s team inexplicably reaches its greatest height during that period. For years (it was a record still standing when this book was published in 2006, and I think it was only during the late 2010s emergence of Atlanta United that the record was broken), the highest attended club match in US Soccer history featured no American players. The team that drew so many people, the New York Cosmos, were so successful that they’re treated as the scapegoat for their league’s death. Major League Soccer never initially appealed to the fans they tried to court, and still struggles with that even now.

I’m not a ‘do or do not, there is no try,’ guy. Effort and intent matter. Trying hard matters, and so many people have tried so hard to make American soccer function and so many of them have failed in such fascinating ways. The section on the NASL has this unending whiplash between the Cosmos drawing 70,000+ to the Meadowlands, the Rowdies developing a professional sports culture in Tampa, and the Whitecaps getting parades in Vancouver, all the while there’s a team in Hawai’i that started and failed, and a team in San Diego named the JAWS, after the movie, the Minnesota Kicks more or less being an outfit to fund wild drunken and stoned tailgate parties in their stadium parking lot during the mild Minnesota summers, teams are springing up and folding constantly, it’s just so different from everything else, both in American (and Canadian) professional sports and in soccer on a global scale. It’s always like this with this sport, it’s constantly shifting, perennially (and I suppose ironically) relegated beneath the rest of the American sports landscape, treated as a fad or a novelty or a social movement but only every now and then as a sport.

We have few of those unquestionable moments of triumph, they’re all wrinkled and misunderstood and flukey — but they still seem to echo — The section on Belo Horizonte, the 1950 upset of England which was so monumental that its unbelievability was mostly understood in the denotative sense, moreso the point of ridicule thrown at England from its European rivals… Then in 1998, DC United beats Vasco Da Gama to win the intercontinental cup, a huge upset that regardless is seen by few in-person, not covered in the US Press, and is primarily celebrated by fans of Flamengo and other Brazilian rivals. Paul Caligiuri scores with an arcing, off-speed shot from long distance in 1989 in Port of Spain to send the US to the 1990 World Cup, one of the best moments in US Soccer history, and 28 years later and a few miles south in Couva, Omar Gonzalez puts another arcing, off-speed shot from long distance into the back of the net to knock us out of the World Cup — The success in making it to Italy was not as cementing as fans might have believed immediately following just as the failure in missing out on Russia was not so disintegrative as many of us thought, both matches met with confusion by most mainstream outlets, Bob Ley having to explain on ESPN that this mean’s we’re in next year’s world cup begets Max Bretos and Taylor Twellman having to explain on ESPNews that we won’t be in next year’s world cup. Even the USWNT’s World Cup wins get treated like novelties, 1991 in virtual anonymity and 1999 like a fad. 2019 had so much political drama wrapped around it that it felt like more of a rod for discourse to much of the mainstream media (2015 (and 2014) I’ll say felt like one of the few times that American soccer got to just be American soccer, for what it’s worth. Might’ve been that ESPN had the tournament rights and had to sell them on their merits.)

And there’s just the absurdity of it all — Why do two leagues always inevitably spring up to fight for the same spot? It happened in the 1890s, the 1920s, the 1960s, the 1980s with the indoor game, even the 1990s initially with the failed APSL merger, even after this book released in the early 2010s with the NASL/USL split in Outdoor Men’s Division II. It just keeps happening! This was still pre-NISA, MagicJack, Couva, the 2012 Olympic Semifinals, the Western New York Flash in the baseball outfield, the Galaxy losing by ten goals to Manchester United, Rafael Marquez, the NJ Teamsterz owner suiting up in goal, the San Francisco Deltas, nearly the entire existence of Chivas USA, Salt Lake City and Kansas City’s trading back and forth of an NWSL franchise, even the match I’m watching on the TV behind this laptop screen right now between Seattle and Al-Ahly, the first time an American team has ever appeared in the Club World Cup. Freddy Adu was still a prospect when this book was published.

In American soccer I see the weirdness and perseverance I like to believe I reflect myself, I see the wrinkles, eccentricities, quirks and features that I find enamoring about other people, and I see something more reflective of my experience as an American than I do in other sports. It would be wonderful to attend a UEFA Champions League Final at some point in my life, I suppose, or one of the historic European or South American derbies, but I found life in our 20,000 seater in Western Kansas City, and I’ve found it in little college stadiums on a cliffside in San Diego, in downtown Omaha, in Northwestern Lawrence, even on a practice field in KCMO. GOD I love American soccer.

Re: USMNT Out of the World Cup

I haven't found a way to balance this and the UAC account being logged in at the same time in multiple places so I'm just going to post whatever I would've posted there here from now on, apologies for that. Also, this one is long, fair warning

How quietly did a four-year saga end yesterday. Surrounded by friends at someone else's apartment in a game not all that climactic nor competitive but not all that much of a humiliation either. Kind of feels like this was an inexperienced and not deep enough team that ran into a much better team right as the fatigue of four matches in a two week span set in.

One of the best and worst aspects of international soccer is how little time we get with the team. It's the closest thing to the old college football 11-game seasons we get in professional sports, with such limited exposure, we have to appreciate everything we get. I probably watched every USMNT match from Couva to yesterday and I have vivid memories of each of them and how they hit me in the stage in my life in which I found myself.

I keep thinking of watching the friendly against France in 2018 under Sarachan in which we drew the future World Cup champion on the TV in the liquor store I worked at in that interim period between college graduation and graduate school when I was so ungodly lonely and bitter about where I was. I'd like to say I learned something there, something about choosing to take a meaningless game as meaningful, and applied it to that ennui period, but I can't say I did, I don't think I ever applied that lesson until last year.

I keep thinking of being with the AOs in State Farm Stadium in Glendale for that domestic friendly camp in January 2019, first game of the Berhalter tenure, seeing so many MLS players that I figured would have so little stake in the future of the team. Interesting what became of them - Walker Zimmerman, Djordje Mihalovic, and Christian Ramirez each scored in that match, three guys with completely different career trajectories (Walker started at the World Cup, Djordje was on track to make it had he not been injured, Ramirez has performed well in Scotland but not well enough to break through the logjam of striker mediocrity). Zack Steffen, who I think most people figured would be on the 2022 roster at that point in 2019, started the match, and Sean Johnson, who I think most people assumed wouldn't be on the 2022 roster at that point in 2019, was subbed on. Dan Lovitz, Sebastian Lletget, and Jonathan Lewis all saw time before they became vilified at different points over the ensuing three seasons for different reasons. We left there feeling like the future was bright, but not necessarily because of what we saw in there.

July 2019 there was the Gold Cup final against Mexico, which ended 1-0 after a bad giveaway by Michael Bradley in one of the last appearances he'd have for the team. It was in that game that I became a fan of Wes McKennie, who didn't have the ballyhoo of a Christian Pulisic at the time, but showed so much leadership and tenacity for such a young player. One of the team's future leaders came into his own right as one of its veterans kind of left in disgrace, but by the end of the game it was clear that this team had a lot of growing they needed to do. I watched it alone in my apartment in San Diego, still exhausted from the USWNT match and celebration that morning, a total contrast from the struggle to find space in a soccer bar in North Park that had accompanied that match. I wouldn't struggle to find space to watch the USMNT until about Summer 2021.

There was that Nations League loss to Canada I half-watched on my iPhone at work. All I really remember was Christian getting subbed off in the second half and grimacing on the bench. That was huge for Canada. I think at that point I'd already sent off what would become the application that would put me in Canada in September 2021, so I watched them closely from that point as well. In a weird way, that Canada team was the one thing I used as a touchstone for any sort of Canadian identity I ever tried to hold. When they beat Suriname in mid-2021 to qualify for the Octagonal, I think that was the closest I ever came to really seeing myself as ever accepting Canada. It was a folly from the beginning, that brief period of graduate school I spent in Waterloo from September to December 2021, and I really learned to disdain a lot of Canadian (or maybe specifically Ontarian or Kitchener/Waterloo) culture, but I identified with that team finally coming into its own like that. I wish I'd been able to find new success and validation in Canada like they did.

They played Wales in that empty stadium in Austria in November 2020. I started my first shift at the grocery store/bar in Shawnee that day. The head bartender, David, was a huge soccer fan. He'd keep one of the TVs on TUDN for Liga MX matches and put on college soccer games whenever they were on. I wish I'd befriended him more, I liked the guy, and I see that same sort of connection to the sport within myself. I found myself genuinely happy by myself at a Creighton-Butler women's soccer match in Omaha a few weeks ago. There is something about this sport that I love regardless of who's playing, these brief moments of brilliance regardless of the level. There was some of that in that Wales friendly. It was the first USMNT match in several months, and the first time I ever saw Yunus Musah, who impressed me even from across the dining room as I struggled to learn the Point-of-Sale system. It was that game and the subsequent friendly later that week in which I realized how much I appreciated this team in that domain of 'normalcy', or whatever that was during that time. We played in a little empty stadium in Austria, you could see a waterslide jutting out of the building behind it. That era sucked, undoubtedly, but watching this young team develop made it feel like there was a future worth looking forward to.

I watched the May 2021 Nations League Final from my apartment in Olathe. The first competitive match in front of a crowd in years. I cried at the end. I didn't even see it coming, I was so intensely connected to that game and finally seeing this team win a meaningful competition like that, after all of 2020, after the failures of 2017-19, there was some catharsis that just flowed out of me.

In July, there were three Gold Cup matches played in Kansas City. I went to two of them, the first a drubbing of Martinique in which Sporting KC's own Gianluca Busio, in I believe his final match in Kansas City, got his first assist with the United States. Daryl Dike and Nico Gioacchini looked like future stars that night. Then, for the first time in my life as a fan, we struggled to find space to watch the ensuing final group stage match against Canada. The game was sold out on that Saturday, we had to stand on the concrete at the back of the Cauldron, and even though we sort of shambled through the match and were outplayed by the Canadians, it was a 1-0 USA win and I got so, so very intoxicated that day and felt like I was going to get motion sick in the back of Mike's car on the drive back home. That was such a fun day, one of the first in which I got to be surrounded by humanity for a common cause like that since the lockdowns and I really cherished it in the moment. I've been so good at not taking that for granted anymore.

That first qualifying window in August 2021, first on the road at El Salvador, then at home versus Canada, then on the road at Honduras, spanned a very strange week of my life. The 0-0 draw with El Salvador I watched on my laptop via Paramount Plus in a hotel room in Detroit, planning to cross the Canadian border the next day. The 1-1 draw with Canada I watched on my desktop from my dorm room in Waterloo. The days in-between were spent in a weird cyclical purgatory of driving around Detroit finding the proper type of COVID test to get the right results and upload them to an app in order to enter the country. I had the thought, on the third day and my second stop at the border entry point, that if they turned me back around for some reason that I'd drive down to Nashville for that game and ultimately go back home to KC the next day, accepting that the whole venture was fruitless and using those failures as bad omens. I was a little disappointed to have successfully crossed as I watched that match by myself from my little dorm room. The fact that it was a disappointing 1-1 draw was probably something of an emotional salve for me, I think if we'd won I would've developed some intense yearning from seeing the fans in Nashville celebrating and it might've been really bad for me with regards to my mental health.

The home qualifier versus Jamaica I watch on a United Airlines flight back from YYZ during reading week, the Costa Rica home qualifier I watched from my parents' living room in Overland Park. The home win over Mexico was one of the few happy memories I had in that stupid dorm room. The home win over El Salvador I watched on my laptop from the library of the college where I work about a week after I picked up working there again. The home win in Minnesota over Honduras was one of the first games I watched from my apartment after I moved in. There was the Panama win which cemented the qualification, a match I watched from my futon, which spawned a rambly post not unlike this one on my personal site.

And it all led up to the past two weeks. Four matches, only two of which could I watch live, only one of which was a win. Sort of an anticlimax, which I guess is what I knew was coming. It was something I would bide my time imagining during my worst moments, the ones in which I would just try to envision a life in which I was happier, a life I felt was worth being there for. It wasn't a big part, but it was on the list of reasons not to give up, and nearer the top than many others. I am glad I stuck around to see it. I am glad I was able to see this journey come to an end surrounded by friends, each of whom I'd reconnected with over different spans of time leading to that point.

I had not considered what the feeling of getting knocked out would be like. I only thought about that opening game and the joy of seeing us on that international stage once again. This is frustratingly measured. I am not beating my fists against the floor nor am I walking around as if nothing happened. I've been disappointed, and I'm not sure that I'm going to watch any more of this tournament now that we're out of it (not that I was watching that much of it beforehand). Regardless, another journey, much like the one that I suppose began in late 2017 and ended yesterday, begins today. I will mourn the last one's ending and appreciate just how much it meant to me, and I will ensure I live every moment of this next one with as much of the lungs flooding and blood coursing that it deserves. As we sing -- "where you go, I'll follow"

Otherwise, please enjoy the English->Rihannsu (Romulan) dictionary. To keep this from spiraling and taking up someone's whole dash, I will be replying with cuts for each letter (Z and X had no entries at the time of my saving this. If there is a more updated version of this list I would love to hear about it.) Please reblog the final entry only, I will pin it.
