Stop thinking you have any ownership in this thread.

When people come in here and start making stupid Jesus jokes it gets ruined. If people want to actually talk about US soccer it's fine regardless of how bad their takes are.

Way too late for this

How often would you say your two's private parts bump against each other?

It was a love joke. You're the one making it weird.

[Tobias]

everyone shut up

[slobber]

FTR, I post in here so in 5 years, when dobberjr is on the team and I start posting in here like crazy, none of you will be able to say that I never cared until my son was on the team.

GO USA! BRING HOME THE BRONZE!

Yeah, besides, asava's just vocalizing what we've all thought.

[pissclams]

we're not good enough.  will we ever be good enough?  i don't think we will.   other counties can get together, have a couple practices, and perform at a high level.  we're can't.

[The Big Train]

We also have 4 other major sports that poach all the good athletes

[Kat Kid]

Brazil just fired their manager because they couldn't score against Peru.

England is coached by Roy Hodgsen.

Mexico just gave up seven goddamned goals.

But yeah, let's keep a guy who has not progressed the federation in five years because we're the little old shitty USA and we don't deserve better.

GTFO

Our talent level has obviously progressed. Our tactics (at times) are a lot rough ridin' better than the longball counter bullshit we ran for the last 20 years. Development and institutional progression is a tough call due to the fact people are impatient as eff and we won't see the results from the institutional changes made by Jurgy for probably another decade.

Who said we don't deserve better?  I love how we somehow just expect to be good despite glaring deficiencies and a short history. I'm not some huge proponent of Klinnsman. Maybe what he has been doing as Director will work. Maybe it won't. The changes he is making runs entirely counter to the "win now" mentality. As a coach he has increased our talent pool and found players who will have an impact on our team for years to come. The quality of play is marginally better than it was under Bradley or Arena. But he has been working with, for the most part, a group of players that needed a turnover. The fact that he doesn't have any other option but to trot Clint Dempsey out there speaks for itself. If he wasn't getting results (semi final in Copa, through the group of death at WC with a lackluster team) I would be more inclined to say we should probably go a different direction, but for now there is no reason to not see him through another WC.

Who exactly do you see knocking down our door to be the next coach?

Alexi Lalas

dobberjr is only 13. Give him a few years.


Royals aren't gonna win 'em all

I'd be really happy if we had a team that isn't mentally so rough ridin' weak.  Oh we're playing someone good, better not be able to complete a basic pass.  Oh I got challenged, better do crap to get a straight red in multiple games.

Copa final ref having the biggest shocker in recent memory. 10 v 10 before halftime.

[TheHamburglar]

This is crazy!!!

[ednksu]

this is a rough ridin' dumpster fire and an embarrassment in front of the world.

[wetwillie]

is it normal to see the sod over the turf in a game like this?

Unfortunately in the US it is not terribly uncommon. Not nearly rare enough at least.

i like 10 v 10

[Tobias]

2nd half was much more fluid at least, that 1st half gouged my eyes out

[sunny_cat]

i like 10 v 10

yeah I missed regulation and have only seen ET. has been very fun and very open. think we should switch to 10 (or even 9 men) across the sport

[pissclams]

that's what i like about it, the open play.  awards speed, more exciting for me.
