    We're disappointed that they won more 50-50 balls, Gregg? That was your issue?

    I do agree though that what the hell have we learned from missing the WC two years ago? Seems like we made a bad hire, typically no biggie make a change while we can and move on. The issue is that it seems like the Federation is fucked from the top down and of course we wont see any change just more excuses.

    Of fucking course we are shit. How many times do we have to read articles about how we didn’t produce a single fucking player not named Bradley for an entire fucking decade? Canada has their greatest team of all time right now. Twellman acting like this is the biggest upset in history is just being a dramatic cunt or he’s a complete fucking idiot. Both obviously imo. There’s a reason Vegas had this as a pick em.

    This ranks up there. We just lost to goddamn Canada. We are 6 points behind them in the table. We should be able to out talent Canada.

    Yeah we should, but acting like this is Canada from a decade ago is just being a dumb ass. Davies plays at Bayern, David Gent, Cavallini Puebla, Larin Besektas, MAK could be MLS best 11. To act like this is the Canadian team that Twellman played against that had 3 starters that played professionally is just stupid.

    Like I’ve been saying for over a year. The U17s at the end of the month and the Olympic squad next summer are the USMNT matches worth watching and getting worked up over. Bradenton was the dumbest fucking shit we’ve ever done. We actually have academies in this country (although still a long ways to go) for a change and watching the product of those academies is a lot more important than watching Christian Roldan turn the ball over for a 10th fucking time.

    Do you feel confident we go to Qatar? I sure as shit dont and frankly I hope we dont. We get embarrassed by T&T and fucking Canada. Wtf will happen against an actually good team?

    calling it some huge upset is stupid but that points to the bigger problem that the federation is getting deeper and we’re arguably getting worse. qualification is going to be a battle.

    What good team are we talking about in qualifying? Mexico? I still have hope people like Pulisic, Adams, Sargent, McKennie, Jozy, JAB, Boyd, Weah, Pax, Zach will actually show up for a game that matters like a WCQ. Canada were playing for their lives trying to get into the top 6, what good does showing up for the ‘nations league’ help us?

    Would be nice if we showed some improvements. Whether it’s in a 3rd tier tourney or a friendly. We constantly look like shit and look like we have no forwards who can do anything on their own. We’re all about tactics, that don’t work. We’re slow and boring as shit.

    hard to fathom that he’s a professional soccer coach and watched that game and thinks our biggest problem was lack of desire.

    how about fucking completing passes to open players you dipshit.

    how about turnovers in possession.

    how about any semblance of attacking chemistry.

    fuck off GB. The job has already exposed him as a fraud and we have played one maybe two important games for him. Thats an answer a guy without a plan and who knows he’s dead already gives.

    “I’m disappointed in that we didn’t match what Canada was bringing,” said Berhalter, who along with his players had repeatedly acknowledged the CanMNT’s pregame comments about the high stakes of this encounter in Toronto. “There were too many 50/50 balls that went on their end and it was the will that got them winning those balls and I’m disappointed in that.”

    Opta’s match statistics showed that the two sides finished dead even in terms of the duels category

    this is the exact problem from the top of the federation all the way down. There’s some belief that we would automatically build on the success of the previous generation. That we will inherently always earn a place with Mexico at the top of the region. That mishaps will happen but, hey, we can just “turn it on” when needed.

    we need to fucking scrap sometimes, we need to just make ourselves hard to play against. There’s nothing wrong with that. It used to be part of the ethos.
