Deadspin's soccer writers don't know dick about soccer. Two different articles talking about how relatively poor the MNT and YNT is, and both conclude that Jurgen is the right guy in the job because he's a European outsider who fixed Germany's youth development (which is was a peripheral figure in at best). We've failed to qualify for 2 straight Olympics. We failed in the Gold Cup and in the C-CAF playoff for the Confeds. Jurgen is the TD as well as the head coach and has unquestioned authority up and down the levels of US Soccer. How in the hell do you talk about our stagnant program and not lay the blame at the feet of the guy who's been running it for 5 years?

Luis Gil got himself kicked out in 10 minutes. Impressive.
-
He looks unprepared for the speed of thought required at this level.
-
No confederations cup and 0-2 in Olympic qualifying. Nice technical directing
-
They need to get more attacking talent on the field. The plan was evidently to try and play for 0-0 which is rank stupidity. Also stop playing Kelyn Acosta out of position maybe.
-
Too bad for Castillo that he still played like crap despite not being even remotely challenged
-
Klinsmann is such a damn baby. Remember when he talked about the pressure in Europe and getting harassed at grocery stores and what not as being a thing we should asipre to?
-
Yeah, it is. True fact Miazga and Trapp are senior NT ready now for their respective roles
-
Pulisic has elite quickness. Finlay got hosed.
-
Zardes is kid-Anakining his way to a good match rating I want Clint to get to 50 tonight
-
That shot didn't even travel forward. I'm more annoyed that Demspey missed Bradley with that square ball
-
This lineup is completely fine. You could quibble with Nagbe over Zardes but at least everyone is in the right spot
-
Kasey Keller needs to stop making excuses for the [expletive] on the field.
-
One of my new favorite lazy narratives is that Clint is "past it" and hasn't been good since coming to MLS. Since he came to SSFC, he's scored 18 times for the NT. He scored 9 goals for the NT in 2015. I wish all our players were washed up and past it like that. Maybe we wouldn't lose to chump assed second tier CONCACAF countries.

Is it a situation where not qualifying might be the best thing long term, just to force the US to make changes? Absolutely not. Failing to qualify would be a complete catastrophe for the game here. It wouldn't be a fatal blow, but it would be a massive monetary and prestige blow that would have a far more negative affect than tolerating this idiot for the rest of the cycle. The best case is we win tomorrow and then get absolutely stomped in the Copa America and go out in the group stage. If we were to go 0-3 with like a -6 GD that *might* be enough to get Jurgen canned. And we aren't going to lose tomorrow. We may look like crap, and play turgid garbage soccer, but we'll still win 3-1. We won't lose to Guatemala at home.

If Hodgson is brave enough to pick his team on form they could surprise. If he starts Rooney, Henderson, Cahill and Sturridge, they'll go out in the group stage.
-
Wood wasn't even bad. Why is Yedlin starting at RM? Why isn't Cam at DM or CB?
-
How is Mix starting for this team? How is Bradley STILL being played as a #10? Why are you starting a terrible defender in Castilllo? Whoops, he couldn't handle a half assed press and played a back pass out for a corner, from which they scored
-
Yup. It's the same crap from 2012, really. Poor roster construction, playing guys in the wrong spots, weird subs and a completely disjointed side.
-
Jurgen is now 1-3-1 in his last 4 competitive games. Losses to Mexico, Jamaica and Guatemala. The only win against a team full of resort employees and even those guys scored first.
-
Hey wolf remember that Bayern game that ended with them having 5 strikers and 2 defenders on the field?
-
Its baffling to me how bad everyone except Wood and Dempsey were in that half. How many times do we need to see Mix and Bradley in the wrong spots together before it stops?
-
Starting Edgar Castillo in a road qualifier. Great decision jackass
-
I just took a cursory look at Copa America tickets....what a horsefeathering ripoff.
