[Blessings]

Lalas is definitely holding back his tears

 

[concise]

well they need better ones

Seems like you have all the answers.

The US has never developed a truly class goal scorer. That's the issue.

I was thinking about this the other day. All the athletic brothers in America, we should have had a Vini Jr by now. Like damn

How can you have countries like Uruguay, who literally have 1% of the population that the US has, and you cant find 25 good soccer players to put a good product on the field?
US mens soccer has been an embarassment for years. All these soccer academies and they cant win a damn thing.

I didn’t get to watch the game had to work. Were we complete outclass or did we put up a fight?

Uruguay devotes its entire national body to soccer. They have won 0 gold medals in any sport other than soccer in the 1920’s. They only really play soccer.


Soccer is a funny sport. You really need to start at like 4 years old and be all in on that kid being a soccer player if you really want to produce an elite guy. Look at Russia, China, India, Japan. They like soccer more than America and aren’t elite either.


It’s like Lithuanians, Serbians and Slovenians with basketball. When you are born with the ball in your crib doesn’t matter how big your country is you’re gonna produce elite players.

History.

First half hour I thought USA was the better side, then it all fell apart

Sounds about right for a Berhalter squad. No adjustments after halftime.

India I guess makes up for their ineptitude by dominating the medical community but a billion people and they'd rather dance in blankets in 115 degree weather than dedicate themselves to athletics

Whoever this host is in the post game show just said go get Klopp or Pep

 

[Blessings]

I can't believe they really mentioned Pep as USMNT manager lol

 

[SmoothOperator88]

The women's side the US used to tout is now the reason the men will be stuck being mid

And the women getting passed by too

Exactly. The women's success is masking how shytty youth development is and has been forever in the US.

Some of the US players are foreigners. Some of them were born and/or raised in Europe but have an American parent or grandparent lol.

Right most of the US players worth a damn didn't come up all the way through the US domestic system.

Only Richards, McKennie & Adams.

 

[Black Magisterialness]

It's been heavily rumoured that the equal pay shyt includes coaches salary

So if we throw the brinks truck at any top coach, we have to match Emma Hayes(women's coach) to that salary and that shyt makes no sense

We got the money...
