  1. I'm not going to be able to sleep, so I'll dump one more thought. Insidious institutional rot papered over by circumstance, the failure of others, and a handful of exceptional individuals revealing itself when it's too late is having a devastating run on our country right now and I'm ready for better institutional infrastructure, like yesterday. I hate how everything in my point of view keeps coming back to the poisoning effects of unregulated capitalists but it is what it is. US Soccer must be held accountable but they won't be.
  2. Let TT vent for all of us. http://www.espnfc.com/world-cup-qualifying-concacaf/64/video/3226307 Also it just occurs to me how much endorsement $ Pulisic isn't going to get just by missing a WC. This dudes paper I'm less concerned about: [tweet] [/tweet]
  3. This was Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard's last game. Probably others. People like them and Bruce Arena have been a part of the highest highs for the men's team and now part of the lowest low. Pulisic has been robbed of his first World Cup experience. The legacies of Bradley and Jozy, two of the best to ever wear the jersey are doomed to eternal questions that until now we're mostly unfair. This changes everything for American soccer. This will impact the program forever, and I don't think we will get the hard won but positive change that should come as long as Sunil Gulati is still part of us soccer. He has to go. He bears more responsibility for this than anyone. It's insane that US fans finally got our super star and this is what happened. It's horsefeathering crazy. Younger guys like Pulisic, Yedlin, Wood, Acosta will be fine but the players like Jozy, Bradley, Besler, and Omar who would have otherwise rolled right through to 2022? I have no idea what happens to them. This ecosystem of predictable, non-competitive entitled spots is done though. Because of this failure and because the next generation is just better and deeper. No more looking at a 20 year old and knowing he's going to 3 world cups. That's over, except for maybe the elites like pulisic (who will still be 22 in Qatar). Dempsey should retire tied with LD. Both robbed of their final bow. Careers that meant everything to malnourished fans and a culture hungry for stars going out like losers. As someone who has watched hundreds of hours of their careers, that hurts. This is a paradigm shift. As for this game, Arena's tactics were a terrible idea against Panama and even worse against T&T. He just got lucky that Panama lost their minds and didn't bunker. Obviously T&T weren't that stupid. Michael Bradley isolated and alone was Jurgen's biggest tactical sin and Arena doing the same thing against counter attacking teams is unforgivable. I don't know where we go from here but this is unthinkable. The weird part is that it feels sort of right with the state of our country. I now have zero things to be nationalistic about until Trump goes. I think we deserve that in a weird way. Also, Billy Haisley was right the whole time.
  4. sunil gulati retire bitch bruce arena retire bitch
  5. Their time wasting is going to give me an ulcer.
  6. An MLS team needs to sign Alvin Jones.
  7. This current scenario is perfect karma for San Zusi. That said, get another midfielder in to help Bradley and get some Deuce magic in there. horsefeathers this tired nonsense.
  8. [tweet]https://twitter.com/ussoccer/status/917399734809251840[/tweet]
  9. Wish we could call Kyle Beckerman & Alan Gordon in real quick.
  10. U-17's playing them as we speak. 0-0 in the 70th.
  11. A Panamanian journalist was on extra time radio talking about how confident they were and said they had the best camp a Panama team has ever had, which I thought was weird considering they're playing a superior team on the road. I think they were up for it and then Pulisic just took their souls. [tweet] [/tweet] Hell yeah.
  12. Now gotta protect the yellow card havers, Pulisic, and roll into Trinidad. http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkbwe2XLlO1qczgkm.gif
  13. I'm ready now. [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]
  14. I'm very glad there's Cubs playoff baseball to watch instead. They could win 7-0 and it still wouldn't be a relief, so there's no way that's going to be a pleasant viewing experience. You're insane. Playoff baseball just gives you double the risk.
  15. Ftr, we're going to lose tonight. I have such a terrible feeling.
  16. What needs to happen for Argentina to be in/out (I realize I could look into it, but I'd rather ask someone who already knows, and this thread isn't active enough lately).
  17. https://www.theringer.com/2017/10/5/16425234/usmnt-u17-world-cup-josh-sargent-tim-weah-andrew-carleton Good U-17 WC preview.
  18. RIP, the 3 alphas.
  19. [tweet] [/tweet] Miazga Eredevisie team of the week.
  20. Josh Sargent finalized the Bremen deal, reportedly turning down Bayern because playing time is a good thing to get. [tweet] [/tweet]
  21. EPB to City. https://www.metro.us/sports/new-york/manchester-city-sign-american-erik-palmer-brown#.WbVm5_1FmNM.twitter
  22. Our center backs have collectively decided they don't want to go to Russia.
  23. One game overreaction: It's over. Engrave United's name on the trophy. Seriously, while everyone is trying to out Pep Pep with the 5-3-2, Jose is going with the same 2010 horsefeathers that has won him everything in a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 and has the horses to do it. Pogba-Matic is every bit as good as Essien-Makelele in their prime.
  24. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/09/sports/soccer/rafa-marquez-mexico-drugs.html HAHAHA This is really, actually serious.
  25. Now that Pulisic has left the nest and is soaring proudly over the global soccer skies, get to know our next hype beast. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2725600-andrew-carleton-may-be-the-homegrown-star-us-mens-soccer-has-been-waiting-for
