through a massive police presence. i . mean. some fans especially like this going by and ryan fans of not even car accident so sickness can stop. their fans at the football to live forever and everywhere. every weekend every every champions league game every. call game wonderfully game any any fingers buried in the never quit never quit maybe that's why football won't

sleep in the summer of 29 teams not anywhere because of a call for america in brazil. the women's world cup in france. the gold cup in the u.s. jamaica and costa rica and the africa cup of nations in egypt. and then there's all the moody white no no time because there's also suggestive signs i wonder. when they come out. and then your boss alone up. the cup to watch out for. this chris hiring. full kickoff reporters who debate which of these summits all of us will be the best of the pack. today then you're in chris rock now on kickoff. return to mean time. in 29 states coming. america sudhir the africa cup of nations

the winnings well. let's talk about this years after the 2019 africa cup of nations. bigger than 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 don't know when it's. theirs filmed him. it's not the best looking statue of most forbidding him playing now. for 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 champions 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 going fast enough so with hosting rights in egypt at home means the chance to see home field advantage in the. man it will be few.

to turds painting you like goals right well the african cup of nations is 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 is a big difference here at the after. every goal gives you moments like these. balls. have caught historial football fanatics for over 16 years always dressed in fire and colors the 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 after out of winners are jinxed 2013 winners nigeria failed to qualify in 25th 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 wink and i mean anybody more than a handful of this year's qualify fiends have won it some more 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 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 get his for his country at the last major tournament. thanks to this guy secure gio ramos the enforcer hurt silva shoulder before the world cup well saleh is back and he's looking forward to playing at home and defeating his liverpool team mates sabio my may. 5th oh teammates turn rivals. there's also the 2016th african player of the year algeria's riyad maurice sadly will miss out. here emery obama beyond the star will miss the party didn't qualify so we have stars all over the world meeting in egypt to see one thing 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 men could do it and they could put on put it off. as a solid team when they went to the world cup and even how they qualified for this i think a combination of maybe this is that time to claim that. in the continent. i think they go with. 21000 if i look at the. visit and i can look 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 if you've got 3 reasons you better not miss the. africa.

this summer it's tournaments time. south america the cradle of football come together to code for america. watch out it's continent cup of nations. and the blooming square off the hoopla cry 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 is something entirely different. than try this summer north and central america and the caribbean also

squares off in the gold cup that's congo contrary him a big hero and well 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 cup to look out for. a thriving lead an ever growing fanbase and quality talent now coveted by the world's top clubs coupled with the 2026 world cup means the usa has finally woken up. 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 cancun cafe and making the european scouts stand up and take notice. players the cost of recent.

suits up for reality drift. and newcastle standridge deadly. jamaica's. these tears up the wings of the industry and even if you needed it alfonse a dig at vice. and who can forget america's golden boy christian clueless it just this winter set records for his high profile move to chelsea in the premier's of. even le bron james is a fan. yes i top the premier league club 64000000 here in america but the list keeps getting longer with a new wave of american units joining european football's highest ranks players like western economies josh sargent and this guy i'd be live pictures tyler i. know you're so strong teams in the u.s.

soccer but i wouldn't necessarily say that the you know the pool is as big as it is now i mean you look down you know there's 17 year olds that could be playing for the senior team and look at our team and the average age might be like 24 and that's that's from unheard of in the national team so you know more guys are getting opportunities more guys are getting professional minutes at a young age is 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 the junction 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 christians 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 i'm not a big club right now and we have our team put champions league next year you know i could end up playing against barcelona the drama drink any of these clubs and you know that's what i'm aiming for and guess what this summer you can catch tyler out and along with the next new promising generation of north american talent at the

gold cup but it's not just the up and coming talent that makes congress and the gold cup finally more exciting the ongoing conversation and the future. 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 do not. come here until you know you want to play in front of 5000 feet. you know this different venue says difference the better he's going the right direction to do that since according to 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 a reason that's been steadily growing since its 1st season in 1996. 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 line with top gear fuel leaks and sand cultures that spark the passion of really an even boast it's only. 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 order european stars coming to the m.l.s. at the end of their careers talk about how many players are in europe you know john brought so he's just he's not just i was pretty he's the best thing about are

playing 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. in 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 who insisted 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 a tournament that's in the summer and you know your home obviously in america you get to travel around familiar faces in the stands it's definitely a starting point for us because we need to move forward and i think that's the most important thing is you know what us soccer fans want us to you know obviously move in the 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 the $2022.00 world cup in qatar is basically going to be a big world cup a winter world hard strict rules on alcohol close stadiums can when you think go so let's just skip right over that one and say that the next real world cup is going to be how in 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 peak of what to expect in $2026.00 and $1.00 thing's for sure when the usa decides to do something they go big obviously we want to we want to prepare for the

natural call to be the best that we can be and obviously qualify that but i think we want to make even the you know bigger statement a bigger splash in the next world cup because you know the next one's heading back to charm soil and that could be a poor. for us it will be in the trying of our careers most likely a lot of us and now before for us to head back in the home and make a major statement i'll get to watch in a gold cup if that play not the same as watching a result. but you gotta give it a chance you know i think the cup to watch out for but i. need a refresher. so you see how to choke the trip because of. the goodness legal all the games all the goals the emotions kick off highlights here on t w c this is a. fantastic football stories.

every week on kickoff highlights. i may not get almost guarantee obscene every video on law or on you tube of fire munich part any of the bar meeting. the kind of happens where. for 15 hours a day or you're stuck in a bed for $24.00 hours. that's pretty much all i did in 365 days.

since byron changes the way that i feel. about a lot of things it gives me something to. look forward to something to strive for. most of the world. knows me as. some call me a legend i don't really like that term. but i kind of like the. terminology or by ryan. it all started with my grandfather who served in the military and germany the stories of these are all about munich that's where the spark was made it's in the fire just. a lot of fans. around the world they have tattoos. with me i've got i mean i've got.

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. that lottery. but i. wish i 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 london clover south carolina i

mean everywhere i've gone it's almost the exact same reaction they. all were. 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. i don't know 33350000000 impressions across ma social media and all the different media outlets. that have covered it. so. never expected to get that i just thought hey once i get the maybe buyer immune it may. bre 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 he would just make fun of him and call 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 i instantly went out when i got the i that's that's what i basically attributed it to was this is' going to make me the man i am today. and it truly had. 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 green i got. distracted driver. head on she was actually dead center of my lane. didn't have time to really react or

anything as soon as i got hit. the 1st thing that went through my head was. fallout. broken multiple ribs. lacerated splayed. 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 into the allen 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. i have to walk with these crutches for the rest of my life the knee braces to keep

my knees from given out i'll 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 in 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. and i've still got my foot. as weird as that sounds like cancer 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 a footballing world it's just. every moment i get to watch. on t.v. on the internet whatever. is is kind of a blessing in america even allow the time to do it i want to see every minute every game every viral 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 i have is just the same thing that it uses every week in every every champions league game every. hole called game going

to sleep good game any fairy and it's never quit never give up. these damn bugs. did you know kick off is now. going to ruin it for you. all right i'm going to say you know the stuff. we're. going to do. is a football pick up on you chief. well
