Cam is a natural athlete. He’s a real flashy player. But he’s a little uppity for a young coon and he doesn’t know his place not quite a class act.

If Nova wins it all twice more, they will have four in hand not just two.

“You know what? Act like you’ve birthdayed before, ok?” Kindergartners these days... bunch of Cam Newtons.

I came here for a link to the Rocket League photoshops. Model 3 with purple wizard hat, birthday cake hat, pirate hat, or firefighter helmet, etc. I am disappoint.

“... including two for, um, assaulting a police horse.” Gross.

@jozyaltidore:

It remains unclear in this thread whether you believe the US should aspire to join the ranks of the countries who do compete for World Cups.

“We’re not one of them, and we’re not likely to ever be one of them. Neither are all sorts of countries that nobody would ever say sucked at soccer.”

Did not realize that there is a difference.

Ugh, yet another identical article about the USMNT?

Neat. We will then connect 7 passes—instead of 6—before hoofing it long in high pressure games against quality opponents. Each decade we will add one more pass per possession, prior to hoof.

It is a shame that this pops up as the top comment on any article about the state of soccer in the US. A troll born every minute.

This is like saying, “great, we’ve stopped triple-bogeying every hole.” “Better than 20 years ago” is still 35 shots above par.

The good soccer nations do have 2000 17 years olds who could hack it at Borussia Dortmund. Their talent pools are just that much better. The US has a couple of keepers each generation who can go to the Prem. And maybe a couple guys from Jersey go to Serie A.

If 8 of any given 11 do not possess the ability/composure to tiki taka, can you tiki taka? Can you tiki taka in qualifying, with plans to tiki taka at the WC?

My god. Unclear if you are trolling. Are you intentionally avoiding the point of what I was saying, or are you just trying to muck up the thread? Read it again slowly and carefully.

My mistake. I should have said his grandfather was born in Croatia, and he has a Croatian last name. Your splitting of hairs is constructive.

I agree strongly with this point. It’s not Klinsmann. It’s being 40 years behind in development of soccer culture. The talent gap is massive. The training gap is massive. The elite expectations are unrealistic. The most telling part of all of this is how single players get hyped so much here, as if one player or two…

Man, you Frontin’.

What you call “patient” I call “realistic.” The first step is admitting that you are garbage. The next step is becoming better than garbage.
