American Soccer |OT2| Party Like It's 1999.

I paid my bar tab.

I silently stand up.

I'm walking out of the watch party.

My scarf is in my hand.

My head is down.

I pull my hat way down.

I can't make eye contact with anyone.

I'm going to go buy a cigar and sit alone for an hour before I go home.

Gutted.

Tyler Adams. He was with the U-17's the other year and ran the midfield. He's massively improved since then too.

oh ok.

There's also Sargeant and that Shalke guy too.

Eff it, let's just go young.

I'm okay with Pulisic and Yedlin staying.
Maybe Morris if he comes off the bench but he has no Left.

And Brooks.

That's about it. Seriously, drop everyone else like England kinda did.

Blessing in disguise. Maybe we'll actually hire a coach who knows footballing talent and doesn't keep trotting out these trash MLS players. Gear up for 2020 with Pulisic as the star and build around him.
 
I don’t care if we don’t win because I know our best athletes play other sports. But you have to play hard, how can you sleep walk through this game. If you don’t care you should be gone, doesn’t matter who you are.
 
A bit bummed but nice to see someone new go regardless of circumstances.

At least Gulati has that cushy FIFA gig if this USSF president thing does not work out.

You're going to get Jesse Marsch and you're going to like it.

Let's go young right now and hopefully we'll be good in 3 years.

Don't ease anyone in or out.
There's no point.

Let's get all new people and suck for the next year (surprise, we already do).

Wonder if Honduras, Panama, and Trinidad and Tobago have multi million dollar development academies that force kids at 11 to give up all other sports other than soccer? We have a youth system that produces robotic, boring players. This is what you get.

You know it's not a big deal because truthfully we aren't a good team.

Next summer will suck but a restart button was needed.

We will never have to see Omar in a USA jersey or a Nagbe backpass

He better not.

This is some ridiculous shit.

Thanks, Klinnsman.

There's people excusing Klinnsman for dropping all those points in the OT. Even one more point and we'd be through. Fucking hell that Panama goal is bullshit too.

Why are you so confident this will be the case? I bet they don't even clean house

The players still shoulder the vast majority of the blame.

I watched the gold cup. The cupboard is bare. Those guys aren’t going anywhere.

I was wondering if his supporters were still around. Damn.

Dude dug a deep hole. Damn shame.

He didn't drop 3 points to TnT. lol

Twellman melting down on espn right now. Good stuff.
 
Maybe all this NFL fuckery will lead to more kids picking up and staying with soccer. One can only hope because I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel.
 
Think about it this way, the US could have lost and still gotten 3rd. Everything had to go the wrong way for the US, and it did. H

onestly, if all you effectively need is a tie against a team already eliminated that is ranked 70 or whatever, and you don't get it done, you have no one to blame but yourself. I only feel bad for one person out of the whole team, Christian Pulisic, the kid plays his heart out, probably dreams of going to the WC and then have a bunch of sorry players to play with.

USSF needs to start from scratch. Arena needs to go, and don't bring papa Bradley back. You need someone from outside. Gullati needs to go. I actually wouldn't mind Klinnsman taking Gullati's spot. His ideas for developing soccer in the US are sound and based from the very successful German program. A lot of these garbage ass players need to get the boot, what the hell was DeMarcus Beasley doing there?

It doesn't make any sense for Omar to be playing over Cameron anyway.



For some reason they aren't giving Horvath a chance.

To add to this,

Yedlin only has speed, no technique, can't cross, can't defend, always out of position.
The whole defense and midfield sucks. I don't know why they still called Omar Gonzalez to the team
Altidore is straight up garbage. The only reason he plays is because other players are miraculously worse than him.
Bradley can create if there's space in front of him, if you put a man in front of him, he'll try to take the ball back and reset. Dude can't dribble. Some defense, but that's about it.
Woods is serviceable because he can create something in the box and score, but he's limited.
Dempsey is past his prime. Father time has caught up.
Other teams know that Pulisic is the only good player on the team, beat him up a little bit and put 2-3 men shadowing him and he'll be contained. The rest of the team sucks so much ass that they can't pick up on the open space.

I have little doubt Jurgen would have qualified if he stayed on.

Wasn't the end of the world getting rid of him though. That was somehow thinking Bruce Arena was the best replacement.

Not exactly how things work. Players develop at the club level and you get your best players to play. A little chemistry doesn't hurt though.

It’s not his fault Arena is dumb enough to trot him out there. If our best keeper is actually playing in MLS I’ll eat my fucking hat.

There's like half a dozen really good US keepers in MLS that aren't getting looked at because both Arena and Klinsmann have a hard-on for Howard and Guzan and refuse to use anyone else.
 
I’ll never understand how much our defense fell apart. That’s what we should be good at if nothing else. We’re not overly technical...fine. We can still have an organized defense.
I wonder if Dempsey retires without breaking the record.
I mean he has the record. It’s just a tie with someone else.

Another shitty thing. Since Europe is so snooty about American players they only get noticed during world
Cups, so this is going to set a lot of our players back.
