Sunil hinted that a loss tonight might get Klinzy fired. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soccer-insider/wp/2016/06/07/sunil-gulati-addresses-klinsmann-trump-clinton-world-cup-bid-copa-america/?postshare=2171465337293315&tid=ss_tw With that in mind, vamos los ticos?

This is pretty much Mexico's current schedule but with semi-irregular Copa scheduling. They seem to do just fine with it. MAKE SOCCER FUN AGAIN [tweet] [/tweet]

They can accomplish their goals by working with US Soccer to ensure the MNT is in every Copa. That would bring financial stability and huge media contracts and sponsors.. We can agree to host every few tournaments, or even every tournament when South America can't for logistical or political reasons. Another idea would be to alternate between South America and North America. Have games across the continent. US, Mexico and Canada. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay etc. The biggest casualty of just making it a better Gold Cup is the Caribbean countries, smaller Central American countries and Canada being completely marginalized. Also, the incredibly rich history of the traditional format.

Mannnn This Copa must be pouring money into the right places. http://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2016/6/6/11869352/copa-america--gold-cup-may-merge-one-tournament They need our money, we need their credibility. Next step is a full-on confederation merger, travel be damned. Edit - these are terrible ideas. I'd love to have the US be permanent participants, but this is not a good thing.

Yeah, we've had 125 games of evidence that Clint isn't a lone striker. Especially at 33. Wood is a striker, not a midfielder. Zardes is neither. Columbia's game plan is to cede possession & counter. I'm just not sure why we didn't play with a 4 man midfield and Clint dropping to link with Wood and Nagbe or whoever should've played instead of Zardes. Whatever. We'll get the next 2. I'm generally not much for formation talk because in practice it doesn't matter in a lot of cases, but I do kinda wish they'd stop talking about a 4-3-3, and approach more as a 4-2-3-1(or 4-2-1-3), with Bradley/Jones as twin destroyers, Nagbe as CAM, and Pulisic/Zardes as the attacking wingers/forwards around Dempsey. Maybe this is a sore spot because it's almost the exact formation/personnel mismatch the Sounders have been hurting themselves with for most of the season. It's also the Bob Bradley model that Jurgen unfairly doused with gas and lit on fire on ESPN after they were eliminated in 2010.

Total Soccer Show podcast is doing a really good job diving deep into the Copa. http://totalsoccershow.com/

What a terrible performance from every midfielder.

Other than the gift goal, Columbia looks like trash. We might pull this off. You sub in Nagbe and Pulisic in the second and they'll gas these dudes.

Don't hate the lineup. Confused. Optimistic?

So ready for this. Hell yeah. [tweet] [/tweet]

Good Pulisic profile: http://www.pennlive.com/sports/index.ssf/2016/06/christian_pulisic_us_soccer.html

He's really very good at FIFA politics.

Ooh baby, Gianni Infantino might get busted on ethics violation and apparently Sunil might catch a stray or two in this. This might be the only way to get him fired.

Pep isn't wasting time. City signed Ilkay Gundogan today and he's pretty much exactly what Pep needs to turn that team into a much smarter, much more versatile lineup. Will be interesting to see what Dortmund does because they're losing pretty much everybody. Pulisic will definitely get playing time.

I don't know if you remember the bad 90's film adaptation of Carl Hiaasen's "Strip Tease" but the scene where Burt Reynolds is drunk in his boxers and cowboy boots and he's covered his entire body in Vaseline cuz he's ready for action? That's me after that Nagbe to Pulisic goal. [tweet] [/tweet] The US has been fun to watch for three consecutive halves. What is this? The 2009 confed cup? Also I'm glad it happened but did anyone else feel weird when MB90 got subbed? That's just unnatural.

What's that?
