    I'll take it that you didn't like my doomsday scenario. It's so USSOCCER in my opinion. the point on using adams as a sub is a great idea and he can be effective as a sub. and that's what any reasonable manager would do with a player that can't go beyond 45 mins. His club team isn't wasting...

    it was a good break down. thanks for posting that. they even hit out on Tyler Adams 2nd half ban that Berhalter has on him. Berhalter is doing foolish things. I know its unlikely, but imagine a grim scenario where USA beat Uruguay 1-0 because Uruguay are resting their top guys, and Panama...

    I just heard about their 4 goal performance.

    I don't disagree with that. I'm pointing out that I want strong midfielders getting him the ball to have opportunities in the final 3rd. he is a clinical finisher. the more he drops the more he is not likely to score. I've seen it with spurs for years. when they had quality midfielders Kane...

    Colombia look like they might be hoisting the trophy.

    that's good to hear I didn't realize the GD was that large already between USA and Panama. if anything it's a small victory that USA only gave up 2 goals in the game. but Bolivia look like they are on par to give up 5 goals per game. the fact that USA did not score a couple more vs. Bolivia is...

    Colombia or Uruguay could win the whole thing. I am glad that USA at least get to go head to head with Uruguay in a must have it type match. I think we all have to assume Panama will beat or best case draw 0-0 with Bolivia.

    I tend to agree. he's already a national hero there. maybe it's wishful thinking but if the USA are willing to make a pitch to him maybe he at least considers it. and if he can take USA to a World Cup quarterfinal or higher he will be even more hailed than he is now.

    I hope for that, even now. they have the talent to do it. It's a shame that they would have to play Colombia or Brazil in the first match. I still want them to beat Uruguay, I just don't see it happening. but we will see. if the players respond and play for their manager then that will speak...

    I saw the failure coming in the sense that they would probably lose to Uruguay and then lose the next match. I thought they would get a result against Panama. the fact that they did not is extremely disappointing.

    that would be amazing. he's my favorite manager and I don't even support Liverpool. he's so charismatic and such a great manager. he can do it all. I guess my only question to this would be why would he want that job?

    it has worked in France and Germany. those are rare cases. Southgate earned his because of England's far advancements in their tournaments. I don't know that I would keep him beyond this Euro if they don't make the final. With that said I can't think of one case with the USA that a 2nd or 3rd...

    I agree about Balogun. I think we finally found a legit #9 in him. we just needed to see it with the US shirt. Pepi is also a good option, but Balogun should be kept above him and allowed to play a full 90 when he earns those minutes.

    it's so twisted that the heritage of GK's is what it is and he we are today when we finally have a quality team that can play with the ball, we don't have a GK that can provide the type of service that Howard/Keller/Friedel could. and they would dominate games. I do want to say that this team...

    Euro 2024

    kane is limited in what he can do when he drops. if he's paired with the right attacking players he can be effective because of his one touch quality that will generate a counter attack. but if he's dropping to make up for other people's shortcomings they are taking him away from what he does...

    absolutely and I don't have any confidence when we can't fire the jerry jones of US Soccer. EDIT: they need to put someone in charge of this operation that is going to establish that winning culture and high expectations. don't let any of the players feel comfortable to the point that they...

    yeah and we all saw this coming. it sucks that it takes seeing our team constantly lose in situations that they should be doing much better. I don't want to feel like a cowboys fan when I watch this team. it feels like I'm hoping that they fail so that greg will get fired. I want to believe in...

    agreed and horvath let one in that he could have saved. he also looked very poor on the first shot that he stopped. so that is concerning. Turner's distribution with his feet is subpar. in today's game of playing out of the back your keeper has to be good at that. and he's not good with his long...

    I don't see the USA beating Uruguay. and there's a scenario where they could win that game and still not qualify. greg has to get fired if they don't make it out of the group. I have a hard time seeing this team beating Uruguay and a Colombia/Brazil back to back.

    yeah it's so inconsistent with him. what he did at half should have been what they did after the goal. but a lot of his decision making coming back to haunt him today. only having Adams for 45 mins. losing your keeper, that's 2 subs down right there that completely change the game after Weah...

    don't understand why musah wasn't used. anytime I see Carter vickers come on the pitch I get nervous. he should not be on this roster and he doesn't mark his man on the game winner. not sure why the sub was made, but ESPN shows that vickers came on for Reyna. WTF is that? Greg tried to see out...

    yeah the turner injury was unfortunate. that's where the refs were poor in this game IMO. they got it right on the red card. but how do you not caution for a player who is recklessly challenging and injuring a goalkeeper? Turner could have been hurt far worse than he was. that could have been a...

    absolutely inexcusable to not have your team mentally prepared for this game against Panama. this was a must win game.

    Panama takes one back. 1-1 and turner almost gifts them another goal right away. he has to be better with his service or he needs to be benched. this is going to be tough for USA to get a result.
