The last thing the US needs is to be "handed" a spot in the knockout rounds. We've come this far and already shown far more potential than anyone gave us credit for - any sort of shenanigans would make us look like serious chumps. We're better losing while trying to win than tying because a powerhouse let us. It's…
Oh sure. But when J.J. Redick exercises the same option, he's a pariah.

Either Zusi in for Beckerman or Davis in for Bedoya, we need more support up front. I know it exposes us on defense, but no way can we go 90 minutes again with so little possession.

The time has come for NCAA coaches to be "amateurs", too. Why professionalize any part of college sports? Tell dadgum Roy he's got to be a "faculty-coach" with a regular teaching/research course load in order to be a coach, and see what happens. Oh, and he'll be paid based on his teaching and research, but not…
Funny, but not quite as hilarious as that raging-asshole mask he wears while taking part in football, basketball, ultimate frisbee, billiards, pickleball, jogging with strangers, bake-offs, father-son three-legged-races, Solitaire, keep-away with his five-year-old, charity fashion shows, Red Rover against kids with…
