I don't mind Colombia per se, I just like that the winners of the WC aren't from the host continent for some reason. Not cheering for Norway next time? Have you seen the state of our current manager? You probably haven't, since we suck.

I want these semis: Colombia - France & Argentina - Costa Rica. Then France - Costa Rica in the final and then I don't care who wins. The only two teams I don't actively hate left in the tournament.

I think it's fairly obvious there's only one destination if he goes, and it starts with Paris.

You should hook a brother up with some Chicago blart, get me in that way.

90:45 to be exact.

Wish you could just show up in New York like the old days and basically become American. Now you need to have work visas and shit, such a struggle with my professional field (media) to get in when I'm on the wrong side of the cameras.

Man, the day I finally manage to move to the US will be the best day in my life. Fuck the haters.

Why? People wank over the waffles and we had a beat up squad and our number one striker out - so yes we can be something in 4 years bc the majority of our squad are the most exciting big man. Belgium is one of the poorer European teams in the competition and you still had to defend for your lives for the majority of the game. The gap between Europe/South America and the rest of the world is humongous. In my mind there's never been a "contender" from outside of those two regions, at least not in any World Cup I'm old enough to remember. South Korea made the semis in 2002. We most certainly were not contenders though That's not even the best team we ever had. And that(4th) is still the highest an Asian/African/North American team has ever finished. US finished third once. Did not know that http://media3.giphy.com/media/5bo8XMq0GROw0/giphy.gif

Raylor is a good squad member, or at least was before his injury. There was plenty of times I preferred him over Simpson. He's an utterly woeful defender, athlete, footballer etc who can strike ball well with his right foot. That's the end of it. Seems a canny person from what I've seen, and I like him 'cause of that, but it should never be enough to equate to being a starter for a PL side when the ability just isn't there.

Absolute shame none of the spirited underdogs managed it through tbh.

Let's not get carried away here Quality young squad at the moment, who'll only get better in four years (you'd imagine). That as well as a lot of other youngsters coming out of the woodwork and the MLS increasing in quality. A keeper fit to lace Howard's gloves and some strikers and I really think they're able to challenge. Not saying they'd win, but saying they'd be up among the contenders, yeah. Losing their two best players (Dempsey and Howard), and MLS has a ways to go. (There's no guarantee that the great level of support in this WC leads to more interest/money flowing into the MLS. I know this from firsthand experience.) For me a "contender" is a team that doesn't go into any match set up mainly to stop the opponent from playing. The gap with European teams is still massive and there's no way the US gets that good in four years time. Green, Mix, Johnson, Brooks, Jóhannsson and Yedlin will probably be playing for some top teams in Europe by then. You'll also always have Bradley around. Six players that'll seemingly be quite good in four years. It's a decent base to start from. In the next four years we'll see a lot more Mix, Greens and Jóhanssons come out of the woodwork as well given how much American semen has been spread around the world. I think Bill Hamid might step up as a competent keeper in the next four years as well. I don't think the 2018 US team will have much to be afraid of, as long as they get a proper striker, which is so, so, vital for the team to push on. There's no way of knowing for sure but you're putting a great deal of trust in players that've barely played this tournament. Mix I've watched play for years, man. But yeah, I do. Of course there's a chance it won't come to pass, but I feel I'm seeing a lot of quality in the youngsters (based on more than just this tournament). I think the US are experiencing a mini-Germany event at the moment, with tons of quality dual nationality players popping up choosing the US.

Pissing their league already. No excuse to fuck it up. That division is half'n'half professional teams and semi-pro teams. Tromsø probably has the budget size of the reast of the 15 teams combined.

Was a great WC, even without Donovan. If the US gets a proper striker or two through in the next four years they can be contenders in Russa.

Where was this? In his head.

Anyone know what Howard got?

Age? Think he's like 18. 19 Fucking excuuuuse me. Be a real American like Landon Mix you fraud.

“Is it a good feeling? No,” Klinsmann said. “Because he’s coming from the same group as Belgium and Algeria, which deserves a great compliment for reaching the next round. He’s able to speak French with their players on the field, not with us. And it’s the country we beat in the last second in the last World Cup. “I know. I understand FIFA,” Klinsmann said. “I know it’s difficult to choose referees for the right games. It’s always kind of tricky. But it is what it is.”

If Jozy is still the US' answer to their striker problems in 2018, I'll be sad.
