well i has also contributed. i . sometimes a special like this guy by and ryan fans that not even car accidents all sickness can stop. their fans at the football to live forever and everywhere. every weekend every every champions league game every. call game for this week the game any any thing is very and never quit never quit maybe that's why football

won't sleep in the summer of 2019 not anyway because of a call for america in brazil. the women's world cup in front of. the gold cup in the u.s. jamaica and costa rica and the african cup of nations in egypt. and then there's all the moving why no no time because there's also sebastian sound i wonder . when they come over. and then your boss alone up. with the cup to watch out for. is chris harrison. having a. full kickoff repulses her debate which of the someone told him it's will be the best of the pack. today then you're in chris rock now on kickoff. tournaments. i think it's probably an. american city or the africa cup of nations

but when it is well. let's talk about this years after. 2019 africa cup of nations. bigger then it's ever been. 24 teams playing for the same prize this time it's a summertime kickoff and the fans like always excited for the tournaments it's feel . your passport hope so we're going to africa to talk to experts and football foodies to see who they have their eyes or. they'll come to the party on this time we're going to win it's. theirs him him let's be real it's not the best looking statue of most forbidding him playing now. ever humble the goal

celebrations are crazy you don't want to miss and. it's coming. here are my 3 reasons you better not miss the 2019 africa cup of nations reason 3. a cup itself is coming home to egypt the pharos are the record she appears with 7 cups to their name. hosted 4 previous cups and the pharaohs won 3 that's a 75 percent winning percentage their last victory was in 2006 egypt wasn't even supposed to host this year cameroon was but they couldn't get things done fast enough so egypt wins hosting rights in egypt at home means the chance to see home field advantage in. the advantage will be huge. rings

in 2 turds painting you like goals right. the african cup of nations the best goal celebrations ever. more goals were scored in the last after the last gold cup other tournaments might have scored more but there's a big difference here at the after. every goal gives you moments like these. we have got historial football fanatics for over 60 years always dressed in fiber and colors to different cultures will surely be something to see and listen to. now before i get to the number one reason you better not miss the africa cup of

nations here some that didn't quite make the list recent afghan winners are jinxed 2013 winners nigeria failed to qualify in 2015 the ivory coast one in 2015 then got booted out of the group stage 2 years later the last winter cameroon almost didn't qualify this time that was close anybody could way and i mean anybody more than a handful of this year's qualify femurs have won it some more difficult times combining for a total of 19 cups. 15 or not as magic touch would make another good reason to watch the african cup he won in 2012 with zambia then in 2015 with the ivory coast 2 years later he fell short with morocco only reaching the quarter finals were not as magic be seen again with morocco. reason one it will be a star studded event ok the biggest stars of them all moba.

we really missed out on seeing him on the world stage he has for his country at the last major tournament. thanks to this guy secure g.-o. ramos the enforcer hurts all the shoulder before the world cup well sol is back and he's looking forward to playing at home and defeating his liverpool team mate sabio my mate. oh team mates turned rival. there's also the 2016th african player of the year algeria is riyad martinez sadly will miss out arsenal's star peer emerick obama beyond the star will miss the party didn't qualify so we have stars all over the world meeting in egypt to see what being who will shine the brightest. before i let you go let's go back to africa to talk to more experts

queasy sports in south africa football foodies who will win it all. might come as a shock but i genuinely believe that could do it and they could put on put it off. as a solid team from when they went to the world cup and even how they qualified for this africa cup of nations maybe this is that tang to claim that the all the gold in the continent and. i think they go with. 21000 if i look at the. visit i'm like you know to have progressed out of the group stages i think this time around if i look at the quality that is there you look at the local course that is also didn't understand how to play i threw the chunk this time around. and lift the 21000. you've got 3 reasons you

better not miss between night africa. which. this summer it's tournaments time. so america the cradle will fall come together to cope on their. walk out because it's continent cup of nations. and the women square off the book called ultimate prize the world cup. but what else what about the land of the free the home of the brave which sports is the

cornerstone of national identity and the word football and something entirely different. south right this summer north and central america and the caribbean also squares off in the gold cup that's congo controversial of the year and while besides mexico this region has largely been considered a from boeing wasteland football or soccer has been steadily gaining ground so here are 3 reasons why the gold cup is the come to look out for. driving lead an ever growing fan base and quality talent now coveted by the world's top clubs coupled with the 2026 world cup means the usa has finally broken up. but. it's no secret that the quality of football and who long been criticised on the other side of the pond but now more than now

where the growth the football in this area is evident with the quality talent that are coming out of congo calf's and making the european scouts stand up and take notice. players that cost of reaching are not because these suits are reality drip . and newcastle's down to a yet. jamaica's neon daisy trays up the wings in the blue sleeve and even if you made alphonse a dig at buying help and who can forget america's golden boy christian clueless it's just this winter set records for his high profile move to chelsea in the premier. even le bron james is a fan. yet top the premier league club 64000000 here in america but the list keeps getting longer with a new wave of american youth joining the european football's highest ranks players like western economies josh sergeant and this guy rb leipzig tyler i.

know you always have strong teams in your soccer but i wouldn't necessarily say that you know the pool is big as it is now i mean you look down and you know there's 17 year olds like to be playing for the senior team you look at the team and the average age might be like 24 and that's that's kind of on heard of the national team so you know more guys are getting opportunities more guys are going to professional minutes and young ages i think that goes to show that the talent is getting better and better and you know it's it's again it's the players that are you know making their jobs and doing things and and testing their boundaries that is really making our pool more well rounded and ready for the next level you have to be pretty optimistic about it when you speak about it right you know guys are going to be playing for bigger clubs you know obviously you talk about christian's move to chelsea now like what american has played in the e.p.l. and absolutely killed at a big club like that you know ahmed a big club right now and we have our team put champions league next year you know i could end up playing and barcelona the drama drink any of these clubs and you know

that's what i'm aiming for and guess what miss summer you can catch tyler out of along with the next new promising generation of north american talent. at the goal . but it's not just the up and coming talent that makes concrete and the gold cup finally more exciting it's the ongoing conversation that the future of football is here i know i know i know we've all heard that a 1000 times but this time it actually is we really are not putting us on the map you go to atlanta you know. come come here and tell me you know you don't want to play in france and. you know there's different values difference the better he's going the right direction and that's more recent polls show that support for football or soccer is steadily growing it's already surpassed baseball and become the number 2 sport in america after american football for youth and the most coveted age demographic of 18 to 34 timing basketball.

increases in participation and popularity are mirrored by the steady growth of football on u.s. television networks where your favorite european league games especially the premier league are readily available a lot of that interest is also thanks to major league soccer league that's been steadily growing since its 1st season in 1906. in just 23 years the m.l.s. has more than doubled its number of teams with more on the horizon it boasts high attendance records in lines top year fuel leaks and sand cultures that sparks the passion of millions that even boasts its own. that's not to say that the quality doesn't have a little ways to go but at the beginning of the m.l.s. it was basically unthinkable that players would start in the m.l.s. and then move to top european clubs instead of just all their european stars coming

to the m.l.s. at the end of their careers talk about how many players are in the you know john gross of the sport is just it's not just our most parties. the best thing about it was pretty plain consistently and doing big things and you know that's where it's going to go and let's get serious here there's big money to be made from tapping into the u.s. market t.v. deals sponsorships millions and millions of potential fans why do you think european teams have been so keen on building their brands in the usa with things like international champions cup during pre-season hope that you actually thought. it was only about football. tournaments like the gold cup being hosted on home soil in the usa generate more buzz around football you know torn it out in the summer and you know your home obviously in america i get to travel around with you half a 1000000 pieces in the stands it's definitely the starting point for us because we need to move forward and i think that's the most important thing is you know u.s.

soccer fans want us to you know obviously move in the right direction and you know we need to make them as optimistic as we are because you know we're excited about this thing especially now that the fans see that their own national team players are good enough to make the top leagues in the world that gives them something to get excited about and one more thing let's get real we already know about 2022 world cup in qatar is basically going to be a big world cup a winter world hard strict rules on alcohol close stadiums can we even go so let's just skip right over that one and say that the next real world cup is going to be having canada the usa and mexico. and what a world cup it promises to be seeing as the last time the usa hosted it was the most tender the world cup ever a record which still exists to this day this gold cup the 1st major tournament to be held after being awarded the world cup is set to be a sneak preview of what to expect in $2026.00 and $1.00 thing's for sure when the

usa decides to do something big gold big obviously we want to we want to prepare for the natural. and be the best that we can be and obviously qualify that but i think we want to make even no bigger statement a bigger splash in the next world cup because you know the next one's head and that's a charm soil and that could be important for us will be in the prime of our careers most likely a lot of us and now important for us to have back in the home and make a major statement i'll get to watching the gold cup instead playing out the same as widening result. but you want to check you know i think the cup to watch out for but i. need a refresher. so you see the. joy of the trip up to. the ball in this league and all the games all the goals the emotions kick off highlights here on t w c.

fantastic football stories. every week on kickoff highlights. i may not get almost guarantee i've seen every video online or on you tube of fire munich or any of the barmy. kind of happens where you sit for a porch for 15 hours a day or you're stuck in a bed for $24.00 hours. as pretty much all of their $365.00 days.

it's. changes the way that i feel. about a lot of things it gives me something to look forward to something to strive for. i'm ryan gibson most of the world. knows me as by ryan. some call me a legend i don't really like that term. but. i kind of like the. terminology or. it all started with my grandfather who served in the military and in germany the stories that he's about munich that's where it was made in the fire just.

a lot of fans. around the world they have tattoos. with me i mean. basically what i'm known for. a lot of the byron fans and i mean it's just kind of . something that starts a conversation about the rare cancer that i have. the cancer that i have is ocular melanoma and only 5 out of every $1000000.00 americans gets it every year. and that lottery. but i. wish i'd won the lottery. so reactions that you get from young kids all the way up to 89 year old. men and women anywhere

it doesn't matter if it's munich germany. clover south carolina i mean everywhere i've gone it's almost the exact same reaction they. i've got a black version of this one and i've got the white one and i've got a german flag but. since i got it may 20th 2016. we're creeping along that i don't know 33315000000 impressions across my social media and all the different media outlets that have that have covered it. and i never expected to get that i just thought hey once i get the i maybe byron munich may. breach tweet it. or maybe post something about it on their their

social media i did not expect it to get where it's at when i heard frog robbery story about his scar and how that scar made him the man he is today and all the ridicule that he had to go through as a kid and people just made fun of him and called him names and he's like this is my face it's made me you know i'm saying this this face is made me who i am. that's why instantly when i when i got the i that's that's what i've basically attributed it to was this is' going to make me the man i am today. and it truly happened. i was actually driving to the store to get my mom drink. decided to take a different way than i normally would which is kind of like the back way. about that. i got hit by a distracted driver. head on she was actually dead center of my

lane i. didn't have time to really react or anything as soon as i got hit. 1st thing that went through my head was. fall out. that i've broken multiple ribs. lacerated splaying. shattered my femur. the dashboard actually sliced money open cut in my mc element in my right knee basically the right leg was a shattered famer sliced him c.l. in face and and crushed my ankle and foot or he'll believe the doctor said i was a few minutes away from losing my. right foot. where they basically would have had to amputate.

you have to walk with these crutches for the rest of my life need knee braces to keep my knees from given out i need an ankle brace to keep michael from rolling. i've got a permanent filter in my chest to keep from getting more blood clots and along luckily i didn't lose my foot. so i mean when people say it's hard to find a silver lining in everything that's a silver lining i didn't die and i've still got my foot. as weird as that sounds i can survive and a vicious violent life altering. would change your life for the better but it just makes me not take things for granted. i took site for granted lost and.

took walking for granted and practically lost one foot and a lot of the most emotion and legs. it just kind of makes me more humble now. in the footballing world just. every moment i get to watch. on t.v. on the internet whatever. it is is kind of a blessing in america even allow the time to do it i want to see every minute every game every buyer video everybody post. something that a lot of people would say i don't see how you would ever make it out of that situation. it takes a mentality. and that mentality that having just the same thing that.

uses every week in every every champions league game every. hole called game going to sleep in game. ferry and it's never quit never give up. these damn bugs. did you know kick off is now. 1 going to really feel. right i'm going to say no. chris here in. florida with this question below. is a football on youtube.
