I'll probably update this post with U.S. roster, game times, and anything else noteworthy.


If you're looking for a sticky for a World Cup thread you are expected to update the thread with all the useful info you have.

I will do it. I meant to say I'll probably do it later today. I'm pretty busy at work at the moment.

I agree that he's a big key to our success. I said in another thread that we're undefeated when he scores. May be a worthless fact but I have a hard time believing it's a coincidence.

Is that you in the pic. And WHY IS THERE A MEXICAN INSIDE? Is he some sort of spy for El Tri?

Supposedly Jurgen just said that the US cannot win this World Cup. Didn't see it, hearing it from others.

Yeah he's right he's also the fricking coach. Even if you don't believe it you shouldn't let your players know. If your coach doesn't believe you can win then why, as a player, would you?

Reverse psychology. He's motivating the players by tellin them they can't do something as a challange hoping that they will respond to that challange and play out of their minds to "show him".

Second, he's not wrong. I'm not even expecting us to make it out of the group stage.

I would agree with you in any sport but soccer and definitely not in the World Cup. It would take a series of miracles for the U.S. to win the games required to win the World Cup this year. No sense in saying that we can win it.

But there's no sense in saying it. Maybe you inspire your players a little but it's in spite of the coach which doesn't make for a great player-coach relationship.

Just like every fricker who said we wouldn't beat the Soviets in the 1980 olympics.

Sorry for bringing it up AGAINNN...but it's pretty apparent Jurgy doesn't think we can when he didn't bring Donovan. No one truly believes an 18-year old Green, Brad Davis, Yedlin, Wondo can actually contribute better than Donovan. He wants us to succeed, but mostly for experience and the future
