Guys, we shouldn't want good players if they couldn't hack it on the best team in the world. It's beneath us, and we should wait until the prophecy comes true of a kid born in Albuquerque who never leaves the country and becomes the biggest soccer star the world has ever seen. Until then, let's keep trotting out a bunch of Wondos.
Meh Don't care as long as they're good but for someone like Chandler it's obvious that the USMNT was their second choice because he consistently plays like it.
Congrats on leading us to 0-2 in the hex and taking Julian Greene to the World Cup instead of Landon Donovan
Oh man you really got me this time. Not the first 99 times you've posted it. Either ignore it or actually discuss the topic. No reason to constantly whine like a petulant child.
I bitched a lot in real life about Besler at LB but don't think I have on here. I mentioned Robbie to a coworker last week. He can play both fullback positions
Been reading a lot tonight and I'm honestly fine with Arena through Russia and then bringing in fresh blood going forward beyond Russia. Far preferable to keeping JK and his lame ass excuses and baffling lineups for another year and a half.
Fuck Sunil. Fuck Arena. Fuck Ramos. Stop bringing in retreads and limiting yourself to only managers from our country.
With the young talent we the US where is the fresh/young coaching talent? We need someone to grow this and continue to evolve this. Not old people with old ways.
We had 11 guys getting pounded like power bottoms. We need a good pitcher and Robbie is ready to deal some heat.
He's going to get to coach by far the most talented youth team we've ever had in this country next Summer (and that's even w/o Pulisic), Tab could fuck it up. Got lucky with 2015 U20's because CCV/Miazga duo was so dominant, but wasn't the prettiest of performances overall.
There are a bunch of young coaches in MLS. I'd take pretty much any of them over Arenas again, but I understand not wanting to hand a national team over to a guy who has like 5 years of experience
Someone has never been through the naturalization process. But I don't even feel like arguing this anymore. You guys just need to get rid of this losers mentality you guys have. We are the greatest fucking country on this planet. We don't need to import another country's leftovers.
Atlanta United hired a better coach than the USMNT. I dont get the "he knows how to navigate the hex" logic. I know how to navigate the hex. Win
There were some shady pro-Mexico calls in the Gold Cup, but that wasn't a factor at all in losing to Jamaica
Shit like that is why I'm fine punting Russia to Arena and then getting a longer-term replacement. Ideal? No. Better? Yes.
Does this mean Jurgen's scrub, college backup son will stop getting called into the youth teams? I always thought it was funny that Mr. America's-Youth-Should-Challenge-Themselves-Overseas sent his son to Cal.
Marcelo Biesla is a possible candidate for the vacant USMNT manager position. He is allegedly asking for $4 mil and Landon to be a part of his staff if he were to be hired for the position. HTH
I'm skeptical but figured it was worth a post here. I'm also interested in coaching the USMNT for low 7 figures.
