We made it out last WC group of death. We will make it out of the first round :blessed:

:mjlol:

No we won't. We looked like fukking amateurs against a team that scored their first (and only) World Cup goal IN THE LAST WORLD CUP. :comeon:

#IBelieveThatWeAreTrash

The whole apparatus is fukked. Jurgen was right...until this shyt comes to the hood/underclass the USA got NO hope of contending in the WC. Period.
The game was marketed to young girls in the late 80's, early 90's and look, the USWNT is far and away the best side on Earth...you bugging if you think this is acceptable for a nation of our size and wealth.

The world's catching up the USWNT too. Title IX put us ahead, but countries like Germany and Japan are starting to spend more on their women's soccer programs. And our coaches suck on the women's side too.

If you compare the hypothetical 2018 USMNT starting 11 to the squad that beat Ghana 2-1, it's hard to see where the Russia WC side will be better. Maybe at striker, wherever Pulisic starts, and centerback since John Brooks will be 4 years older. Hopefully Yedlin will be healthy too, but we're still gonna be bad.

it's one of the great mysteries of human kind to me how THIS argentinian squad plays like that

leo, maradona was winning world cups breh you're struggling to qualify !!!

Honest question. Was the competition as good to qualify back then?


Also Maradona did cheat to win. Without the "Hand of God" Argentina maybe doesn't get by England in the quarterfinals. Think of how that single play changed the course of two countries history forever.

But yes. This Argentina team is a disgrace.

So I'm looking at the CONCACAF Qualification group (haven't pulled it up in days), and I'm still :dwillhuh: at the fact that the USA still controls their own destiny. A trash qualification campaign and they play Panama next, if they win they go above them with one game left against T&T.
