USA has -nobody- to blame but themselves. Pretty much nobody playing on this squad should honestly be allowed to play for USMNT again.

Somewhere, Klinsmann is laughing his ass off.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Bocanegra seems livid

 

[ZZMitch]

Gulati is shitting himself right now

There is no chance in hell he survives this

 

[cruets]

On the bright side. Adios Gulati you prick

 

[smokeandmirrors]

There is no chance in hell he survives this

Nor should he.

Jurgen was right

 

[B-Dubs]

He doesn't get to laugh since him dropping all those points are what put us in this situation to begin with.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Jurgen was right

Of course he was. The players are whiny bitches who didn’t like getting their feathers ruffled by him.

 

[Clydefrog]

I understand sports riots now

You ready for the Eric Wynalda era?

 

[Askani]

I paid my bar tab.

I silently stand up.

I'm walking out of the watch party.

My scarf is in my hand.

My head is down.

I pull my hat way down.

I can't make eye contact with anyone.

I'm going to go buy a cigar and sit alone for an hour before I go home.

Gutted.

 

[Cellbomber]

for FOX it will be a considerable loss in viewership I would imagine

Non US games can still have high viewership. Don't think Fox will have problems with this.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Tyler Adams. He was with the U-17's the other year and ran the midfield. He's massively improved since then too.

oh ok.

There's also Sargeant and that Shalke guy too.

Eff it, let's just go young.

I'm okay with Pulisic and Yedlin staying.
Maybe Morris if he comes off the bench but he has no Left.

And Brooks.

That's about it. Seriously, drop everyone else like England kinda did.

 

[gutshot]

Blessing in disguise. Maybe we'll actually hire a coach who knows footballing talent and doesn't keep trotting out these trash MLS players. Gear up for 2020 with Pulisic as the star and build around him.

 

[Skellig Gra]

I don’t care if we don’t win because I know our best athletes play other sports. But you have to play hard, how can you sleep walk through this game. If you don’t care you should be gone, doesn’t matter who you are.

 

[sazabirules]

Don't worry Beasley will probably play for us in the next WCQ cycle...

 

[uncredited male]

A bit bummed but nice to see someone new go regardless of circumstances.

At least Gulati has that cushy FIFA gig if this USSF president thing does not work out.

 

[B-Dubs]

You're going to get Jesse Marsch and you're going to like it.

Let's go young right now and hopefully we'll be good in 3 years.

Don't ease anyone in or out.
There's no point.

Let's get all new people and suck for the next year (surprise, we already do).

 

[OceanicAir]

How the hell did they manage to lose to freaking Trinidad and Tobago? Literally no excuse.

 

[ahoyle77]

Wonder if Honduras, Panama, and Trinidad and Tobago have multi million dollar development academies that force kids at 11 to give up all other sports other than soccer? We have a youth system that produces robotic, boring players. This is what you get.

 

[tim.mbp]

Only away game we won was at Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

 

[NoRéN]

There is no chance in hell he survives this

He better not.

This is some ridiculous shit.

Thanks, Klinnsman.

 

[Beach]

You know it's not a big deal because truthfully we aren't a good team.

Next summer will suck but a restart button was needed.

We will never have to see Omar in a USA jersey or a Nagbe backpass

 

[B-Dubs]

He better not.

This is some ridiculous shit.

Thanks, Klinnsman.

There's people excusing Klinnsman for dropping all those points in the OT. Even one more point and we'd be through. Fucking hell that Panama goal is bullshit too.

 

[perfectchaos007]

How can I take the MLS seriously when the leagues home country can't field a world cup caliber team?

Why are you so confident this will be the case? I bet they don't even clean house

The players still shoulder the vast majority of the blame.

I watched the gold cup. The cupboard is bare. Those guys aren’t going anywhere.

MLS, Dempsey, and Sports Bars are the biggest losers.

I was wondering if his supporters were still around. Damn.

Dude dug a deep hole. Damn shame.

 

[B-Dubs]

Absolutely, but everyone involved in this shit deserves blame. No one can go without here.

He didn't drop 3 points to TnT. lol

Twellman melting down on espn right now. Good stuff.

 

[perfectchaos007]

MLS, Dempsey, and Sports Bars are the biggest losers.

MLS will be struggling to gain fans the next 5 years thats for sure. The world cup generally gives a boost in US soccer interest, and leaves some carry over that spurs interest in the MLS but not this time.

 

[Mory Dunz]

They won't. They'll slowly phase out these garbage players.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Maybe all this NFL fuckery will lead to more kids picking up and staying with soccer. One can only hope because I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Lets discuss the legacy of former phenom Jozy Altidore

 

[tim.mbp]

Sucks that this will be likely the last game for Timmy. Hope people will remember the good times.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

Think about it this way, the US could have lost and still gotten 3rd. Everything had to go the wrong way for the US, and it did. H

onestly, if all you effectively need is a tie against a team already eliminated that is ranked 70 or whatever, and you don't get it done, you have no one to blame but yourself. I only feel bad for one person out of the whole team, Christian Pulisic, the kid plays his heart out, probably dreams of going to the WC and then have a bunch of sorry players to play with.

USSF needs to start from scratch. Arena needs to go, and don't bring papa Bradley back. You need someone from outside. Gullati needs to go. I actually wouldn't mind Klinnsman taking Gullati's spot. His ideas for developing soccer in the US are sound and based from the very successful German program. A lot of these garbage ass players need to get the boot, what the hell was DeMarcus Beasley doing there?

It doesn't make any sense for Omar to be playing over Cameron anyway.



For some reason they aren't giving Horvath a chance.

To add to this,

Yedlin only has speed, no technique, can't cross, can't defend, always out of position.
The whole defense and midfield sucks. I don't know why they still called Omar Gonzalez to the team
Altidore is straight up garbage. The only reason he plays is because other players are miraculously worse than him.
Bradley can create if there's space in front of him, if you put a man in front of him, he'll try to take the ball back and reset. Dude can't dribble. Some defense, but that's about it.
Woods is serviceable because he can create something in the box and score, but he's limited.
Dempsey is past his prime. Father time has caught up.
Other teams know that Pulisic is the only good player on the team, beat him up a little bit and put 2-3 men shadowing him and he'll be contained. The rest of the team sucks so much ass that they can't pick up on the open space.

 

[DogDude]

I have little doubt Jurgen would have qualified if he stayed on.

Wasn't the end of the world getting rid of him though. That was somehow thinking Bruce Arena was the best replacement.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Sucks that this will be likely the last game for Timmy. Hope people will remember the good times.

It’s not his fault Arena is dumb enough to trot him out there. If our best keeper is actually playing in MLS I’ll eat my fucking hat.

Not exactly how things work. Players develop at the club level and you get your best players to play. A little chemistry doesn't hurt though.

 

[uncredited male]

I wonder if Dempsey retires without breaking the record.

 

[B-Dubs]

It’s not his fault Arena is dumb enough to trot him out there. If our best keeper is actually playing in MLS I’ll eat my fucking hat.

There's like half a dozen really good US keepers in MLS that aren't getting looked at because both Arena and Klinsmann have a hard-on for Howard and Guzan and refuse to use anyone else.

 

[darkside31337]

I wonder if Dempsey retires without breaking the record.

Probably. Record is meaningless now.

 

[Skellig Gra]

I’ll never understand how much our defense fell apart. That’s what we should be good at if nothing else. We’re not overly technical...fine. We can still have an organized defense.

I wonder if Dempsey retires without breaking the record.

I mean he has the record. It’s just a tie with someone else.

 

[offtopic]

I wonder if Dempsey retires without breaking the record.

Nobody from that team except Pulisic and maybe Nagbe should ever wear that jersey again so....no.

 

[Beach]

I wonder if Dempsey retires without breaking the record.

I feel as if Dempsey will retire at the end of this year from football in general. Always struck me as a guy that always put international football a lot of levels higher than club football.

 

[gutshot]

"Hello darkness, my old friend..."

 

[Skellig Gra]

Another shitty thing. Since Europe is so snooty about American players they only get noticed during world
Cups, so this is going to set a lot of our players back.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

"Hello darkness, my old friend..."

dead man walking

he should resign effective immediately
