Who among us doesn’t enjoy watching someone be bad at their job. It’s why I tip extra for bad service at restaurants, it’s all part of the experience!

Robot umpires today. Robot umpires tomorrow. Robot umpires forever.

Your comment reminded me of watching a buddy’s baseball game when I was in high school. One of his coaches got tossed for the same reason, and he was so mad that his parting words to the umpire were “no one will be sad when you die!”

Difference is the authors. Haisley would poo-poo the USMNT winning the World Cup via 7 consecutive clean sheets by saying it doesn’t matter until MLS has promotion and relegation.

This is the human element that Marchman loves. Got a bunch of human players tossed. Fun.

Little looks like every single white cop under 40.

USMNT wins the gold cup “US beats terrible team for meaningless trophy.”

It’s because conservatives have been so effective in convincing Americans than public health care is for Communists.

With a C team, genius. You sound real smart.

I like Nagbe, as well. Acosta seems a little too immature out there still. I think Villafana showed well enough in this tourney to get on the bench. I really get nervous about Besler out there sometimes. The back line feels real iffy. But I gotta think Gonzalez is there in Russia.

I’m really concerned that Altidore is…

I know it seems strange because our chances of actually winning a World Cup are like 0.0001%, but the USMNT is one of the best national teams in the world. Yes, we have a relatively non-challenging ride into the World Cup (that we somehow manage to turn into a cliffhanger every goddamn time), but you also have to…

Do you completely ignore your theoretical NFL team until it makes the NFC or AFC championship?

Something about Nagbe and Pulisic out there together makes me very happy. Are there any others that can straight up break ankles and put pressure on defenses better than these two?

As long as Wondolowski is no where near the pitch for another meaningful national team match, I’ll feel a little better.

Bradley is still one of the best US players. I will never understand the irrational hate for him.

Nagbe was great this tournament and Arena seems to like him a lot. I’d throw him in their too.

There are 211 nations in FIFA.

Bobby isn’t a lock to start for Arena. Maybe, but it could be Jozy as the only true striker. Bradley likes playing with Acosta and plays better next to him so Acosta has a good chance. Nagbe is a pretty strong candidate but maybe not quite a lock. Howard should start in the net. Agree with the others.

2002 just called, wondering what you were doing the past 15 years besides ignoring the results of its World Cup.
