LONG THREAD 1/23 During the World Cup 🌎🏆 a lot of new American 🇺🇸 soccer fans jump on board. And in a global game, it can be somewhat daunting to understand who’s good, who’s not and what constitutes upsets, where the US realistically is in the grand scheme of things etc.

(2/23) I’ve always found it helpful to US sports fans to frame international soccer in terms of college football. There is a global hierarchy (true CFP contenders, top 25, historical programs, conference strength and rankings etc.) similar to global soccer.
