When you step out and look at the big picture (Group of Death, losing Altidore early in the first game, Dempsey and Jones playing with broken noses, playing all four games in hot and humid conditions, and Klinsmann at one point admitting that he was looking ahead to building for 2018), the Yanks really did exceed…

These games always show just how far we are from being a Belgium or Germany. Still no idea of what to do offensively, often bad fundamentals like an inability to bring down the first touch, and a defense plan largely based on running as hard as possible to stop anybody. The team still gets by on great goaltending…

Bradley's pass was great, but notice how he was completely unmarked at the time he made it. When he serves from deep, he's good. Upfront however he's terrible at creating opportunities— he gets confused, and entangled, and he can't dribble for shit. That is the big difference.

The #4 team in the world boasting one of the top 2 players alive? THAT 'not ranked much' Portugal?

I gotta say, it fucking ALWAYS sucks losing but I am EXTREMELY proud of our team. Green and Yedlin look like the truth moving forward and they are 19 and 20, respectively.

I am bummed as hell for Howard. That was an INSANE performance in the face of almost certain doom. That was going out on your shield.

a guy who decides that its actually time to play at the 106 minute ...

Julian Green is going to be a seasoned 26 year old at the 2022 World Cup in the USA*, oh please let this be so.

If you are legitimately trying to learn you could try Googling.

He lost me in the first bit because I just REALLY can't stand when men refer to women as "females." It just seems so derogatory and objectifying to me. Like they are trying to reduce us to our most primitive state.

You know why it's different? Because if I were asked to go to three different showers, buy a tux and go to a destintion bachelor party I, and every single one of the groom's friends, would tell the groom to go fuck himself.

Why do I, an American citizen who does not want to

This article really contradicts the one from earlier about how female celebrities aren't allowed to ever live shit down. WTF?

This was a great article but all I really took from it is...I really hope Vee is dead.

If he's colored

...Seriously guys?

not exactly. if portugal beats ghana by a few and we lose to germany by a few, portugal can make up the goal differential. we definitely are rooting for a tie in either game. beyond that, a portugal win is preferred over ghana winning.

Remember that time Howard told us Michael Bradley was "head and shoulders" the best American player? He's been absolutely invisible, when not turning the ball over.

Jermaine Jones, thankfully, has been excellent.

This was the only result I had hope for going in, and now it feels like a loss. Crushing.
