You forgot Bradley.

Agreed. What’s funny about this quote is I said the same thing last night, but intended as a condemnation. If that Dempsey strike goes in and they draw, it doesn’t change the fact that the on-field product looked like dogshit, and we would still have so much to fix before Russia. Would I have been relieved to have…

One way that the US could prove that it has a commitment to football (soccer) is to stop making the game only something that rich kids or kids with insanely ambitious parents can afford to play.

Bruce Arena shitting all over his own legacy is, tbh, pretty great.

This joke was old by midnight last night.

I said virtually this same thing in another article. He picked what he knows, which is the MLS. Dax McCarty, Agudelo, Wondo...should never have suited up for the US. And yet, here they are. And while you knew they weren’t going to play, they knew they weren’t going to play...maybe most importantly, the starters knew…

If that is true, it just makes him more right all along.

And yet, still applicable.

Are you serious or just trying to be funny?

I like MLS. I find demands to change it, relegation, scheduling, pay scale, poorly thought out and tiresome.

Should the US boot Sunil and Bruce? Of course. Do we need a better coach? Of course.

“You don’t make wholesale changes based on the ball being 2 inches wide or 2 inches in,” he said in remarks reported by ESPNFC, referring to a late shot by Clint Dempsey that would’ve leveled the match and booked the USMNT’s qualification, only to hit the post.

Honestly the only thing about this that upsets is me that Pulisic will miss out on a valuable development opportunity. That kid is the future and the truth. That said Bruce Arena was a trash hire from the start and the team is filled with trash players/dudes WAY past their prime and from what I can tell there isn’t a…

I have three soccer-obsessed nephews growing up in Pulisic’s neighborhood. The oldest is on Pulisic’s old team, PA Classics, with the other two headed in that direction. They’re pretty upset this morning, but they aren’t quitting.

Klinsmam got fired for good reasons. He is the one that out the US in the hole and relied on finding german americans to a fault. He is also an awul tactitician

You were doing fine until you were sad you wouldn’t see Bradley again. Sorry, the only player on that team worthy of wearing the uniform again is Pulisic and maybe Yedlin. This saves me from watching them fizzle out in the group stages and just get more “meh.” Maybe US Soccer will lose a shitload of money because of…

You forgot the most important one: Fuck Bruce Arena. I cannot stand the guy, and the fact that he’s even our coach in 2017 represents criminal mismanagement on the part of US Soccer. I’m also just praying that every MLS apologist soccer outlet will stop pushing the league’s propaganda to such an insane degree now.

Counterpoint, I’m fucking thrilled that I won’t have to the watch the world’s worst second touch Jozy Altidore get bottled up by USL washouts while Michael Bradley sprays forty yard passes to the opposition while people say “you know he played for Roma before”.

Fuck Bruce Arena, so glad that Fabian Johnson (god forbid we have too many German Americans around) or Cameron were not in the side that lost to T&T, but Benny made the trip!

Promotion and relegation are not going to save the US national team.
