U.S. Men's National Soccer (Official Thread)

LD got a bit of a raw deal, but I think the public outcry made that situation worse than what it should have been.

At least people were finally paying attention. No idea what it will finally take to make the U.S. team really good but it can't hurt when people are passionate and voice their pleasure/displeasure about the team.

When you look at what Chile did to Mexico then watch this mismatch the gap between CONMEBOL and CONCACAF is glaring.

Not to mention the laughable difference in depth. 4-5-6 are what, Colombia-Uruguay-Ecuador? In CONCACAF we have scrubs

Wondo gone...thank God

If Wondo was a horse you'd hear a "BLAM!" from behind the stadium in a few minutes.

CONMEBOL has the #1 (ARG), 3 (COL), 5 (CHI), 7 (BRA), 9 (URU), and 13 (ECU) ranked teams in the world. CONCACAF's top team is Mexico at 16. The talent disparity is nothing new between these two soccer federations.

And one of those teams will miss the WC.

I think the fact that the US has elite talent in 4 major sports (not including soccer) is stunting its ability to grow. The exposure is growing, though.

Let the full effect raping commence

 

[Bestbuck36]

I dont feel as bad now. Damn thats a brutal comparison.

There goes wrong way Bradley again. sigh

 

[Bestbuck36]

Defense just stopped and watched. Geesh. This score could be epic

 

[scarletmike]

I seriously don't think they could pass it to themselves successfully if it was just US players on the field.

Well Wondo is off the field, so at least they wouldn't foul themselves

 

[TooTall]

Drink!

US guys complaining about the guy staying down, like they are just on the cusp of a comeback
