@FootynewsOlivier Giroud made a blunt call that the United States is not a football country after his time in the MLS. He won the U.S. Open Cup with LAFC but still said he missed the passion, fervor, and competitiveness of European stadiums so much he decided to leave for France and play for Lille. The whole thing raises the question: is the MLS actually on par with Europe or did he just miss something specific?

The image is a split screen featuring a soccer player on the left and a celebratory scene on the right. On the left, a man with a beard and a smile holds up a black and gold striped jersey. On the right, the same man, wearing a cap and a medal around his neck, is in the middle of a cheering crowd, arms raised in triumph. The mood is celebratory and victorious. The jersey has "LAFC" and "BMO" logos. The right side shows "LOS ANGELES" and "LAFC" on a scarf.
