Deuce

There’s not much evidence for that though. Of all the players who have returned from Europe, Bradley’s the only one who might realistically be playing in a top European league. Guzan and Altidore might be bouncing around the Eredivisie or Scotland. Howard was already finished, Dempsey came back before for the last World Cup and his form really hasn’t dropped for the U.S. since then, and Bedoya never really stuck even when he was in France. In fact, I’d argue that having more MLS-based players has elevated the play of the rest of the teams in the confederation relative to the U.S. and that’s what’s made a big difference this cycle.

Disappointed but not really upset. I’m not proud of my country these days and it’s bled into my support for the national team lately. Biggest disappointment is that we’ll have to endure the white hot dogshit served up by Honduras at the World Cup yet again. Happy for Panama, their first ever appearance. Sneaking in would’ve papered over the very deep cracks in the program. Gulati for sure has to go, Arena too. Time to say goodbye to most of the squad who are either dead, dying, or simply crap. Rebuild around Pulisic, Yedlin, Acosta, etc.

The fact that you called goals points entitles you to less sympathy. People are flustered. Give these people time. The teenage version of me swore at a random Zambian woman when we missed 2006.

Are you going to argue that he wasn’t complete dogshit as a manager?

Holy shit Panama

Mole adjusts his ascot and takes another sip of port as he reviews Valencia highlights from 2002 Get out of here I find it boring because the current world champions are Bayern Munich without Vidal, Thiago, Ribery, Robben, Lewandowski etc etc. That team wouldn't even get past the 2nd round of the CL, it's a horrendous standard of football. I watch football to be entertained and mismatch of bad teams is not entertaining. Cool to see you still resorting to 5 year old jokes though like everybody else. oh settle down, I was only jesting.

Dempsey’s body barely works anymore and yet he’s still the one trying to pull the U.S. through single-handedly.

Shame for Chile, this was likely the last chance for this generation to have a go at it.

It’d be against New Zealand

Honduras and Panama both equalize. Pulisic pulls one back for the U.S.

Chile’s had such a ratchet qualifying campaign, they’d fully deserve to get knocked out.

U.S. may yet qualify, despite their best efforts.

Good to change it up every now and then, get some new teams in. New teams who will mind numbingly boring to watch for the neutral as usual no doubt. Alright, we get it.

Wow.

I honestly can't see us going down this season, assuming Rafa's still here. Even with our faults, we're miles ahead of a lot of clubs right now. That could change if we lose a lot of players throughout the season and Mike refuses to spend money in January.

Will take that
