Such a twat :lol: I always guessed he was just really committed to ESPN because they help him be relevant still so he'll be as inflammatory as they want.

 

I remember during FourFourTwo's US World Cup preview there was a quote from a former US international who they stressed said really wanted to be anonymous in saying this team is probably the worst one we've ever sent to a World Cup :lol: We sent one team of all college kids and one had a indoor players on it ffs. Always assume it was Lalas, seems to think the 94 team was the best to grace the earth.

Further proof how shit ESPN is when they continue to employ a fucking idiotic guy as its lead "US" guy. Awful. All they need to do is see how nobody else on set likes him from Ballack, Ruud, Roberto Martinez, Solari, etc.

This current team would kick the living shit out of that '94 team. :lol:

 

Lalas gets so much mileage from having played a season and a half in Italy and spent the rest of his career in MLS when the league was horrible. Really hasn't got a clue most of the time.

:thup: That should be Brad Friedel's job. Intelligent, soft-spoken guy who actually knows what he's on about.

 

And it's only going to get worse for 2018, as Wynalda takes Lalas's spot.

Wynalda also secretly loves us with working with Barton. Wynalda shits all over Lalas' career and I actually like Wynalda man. Lalas is a fucking second rate pundit who thinks he's a genius, such a prontonising cunt.

Ah, I can't stand Wynalda either. Most of that generation of U.S. players acts so smug and entitled for really no reason. Thankfully Harkes was given the boot as a commentator a few years ago.

 

And that CL final on Fox called by Gus Johnson and Wynalda was one of the worst games I've ever heard. :lol:

The US also, way back when in 1950, sent a team that was more foreigners than actual Americans under the premise that they "promised" they wanted to become citizens one day. :lol: Been reading about it in a few books recently, the recruiters pretty much walked around asking people if they knew how to play football and shit. Then that team beat England 1-0.

Wynalda always gets love for me b/c he ALWAYS talked shit about Pardew for not playing or subbing Ben Arfa. ALWAYS.

Espn have been good IMO, with the exception of Lalas and Twellman

 

Twellman's fine for MLS, but as A-toon pointed out a while back, you can trace everything TT says back to his fetish with the straight 4-4-2. It's a fun game to play when watching the games he commentates. :lol:
