[...]America ain't doing shyt until they get rid of their athleticism fetish which will be never and stop making parents pay 3k for young 5-6 years old to play football for starters.

Basically. Footy is supposed to be the cheapest sport out here. Makes no sense to pay thousands for this which makes it a middle class sport and prevent proper talent to rise.

these mexico fans..... And the game is in Denver

You would think this was in the middle of Mexico with all this fukkery

I def thought this game must have been in Mexico or maybe some neutral site some where
Was surprised when realized it was in Denver of all places. Surprised they weren't getting some of those fans out the paint
Two games in a row Mexican fans being dikkheads, not a good look

This is dumb as fukk
As a Chelsea fan he's supposed to be. He is the leader of this US team and wears the captains arm band. Also, he actually starts. Let's not act like this Mexico match was a mid week Swansea match. This was more intense than any match in our Champion's League run. This shyt is heated, especially with silverware on the line.

As for this vs the Gold Cup. Besides the obvious that's been stated about a lack of matches. What it does is it allows our players that play in Europe to get some matches under their belts early summer so they can actually take a break for a month before camp starts up for the August euro season. Besides, we will see this squad back for all our world cup qualifiers in the Fall. Both teams will have a B team for the GoldbCup...especially the US

2 in a row?

This is anywhere in the States when they can't pre-select the ticket buyers like they do in Columbus.

Missing out on those Young Floridian Caribbean's named Romario and Ronaldo because you're making parents pay prices Polo and Horse Dancing prices.

What is this nonsense. The Nations League was created for a lack of matches of teams at the bottom of Concacaf, the teams that get eliminated in WC qualifiers after playing 2 or 4 games every 4 years. SUM can make a ton of money extracting money out of the Mexican diaspora by putting a USA v Mexico match anywhere in this country.

 

[Montez]

As @Montez or @mastermind said years ago about MLS it's just one giant ponzi scheme. And making parents pay that amount is another scam especially for those so young.

@beejus can you breakdown the 3k please if you can?

Don't forget the racism too. Don't need certain kids playing because that dries up scholarships for Tyler and Houston.

The OFST Training and Management Agency gonna get this country right. The game has been hijacked.

Sum is out now though. At least the USSF doesn’t work with sun any longer.

Weston McKennie is nice.
Glad to see him at a club like Juve.
Does Zack Steffen stay at City? He's already 26.

The football between the USA and Mexico suffers due to the rivalry. That match was hard to watch last night.

They're not out yet, their current contract expires at the end of 2022.
