The euro players were not going to come, another long season and played last summer. Clubs World Cup in general has all clubs running different.

Those guys need to rest before playing 50 matches then going to a WC where they will travel a frick ton of miles compared to most WC

This smells like 1997 with Steve Sampson leading the team before we got buttfricked at France 98

Arfsten is not a left back, he’s a wingback converted from forward/winger who has few defensive responsibilities for Columbus. Tolkin is a better player and has proved he belongs in the Bundesliga and is a natural LB. Johnny is more of a defensive mid than he’s asked to be for the US. Paxten Aaronson is not a winger. Frankly it’s always felt a bit like Poch just has a very poor understanding of our pool.

Unless our injury situation gets better, we’ll get grouped in the WC.

This is demoralizing
I would definitely not watch the second half if I was at a bar somewhere downtown.

What a send-off match.

But now I’m definitely not driving to Austin to watch the US take on the Saudis

I never played, so if this is a completely stupid question I apologize

Is it really that hard to train and develop an upper level keeper? It’s not like there’s dozens of different skills needed for the job

Roughly 30 million 18-25 dudes in the US, we can’t find one to figure it out?

Even our top group has looked like shite recently. I could totally see us getting knocked out in the group stage.

We won't get grouped due to the expanded World Cup. Fire the fraud.

Has Poch done anything of note the past...7 years or so?

I agree, but I think they should have been present for the friendlies before being given the summer off.

Scally should be here instead of Harriel. Why didn’t Tolkin get called up initially? Do we really think Sargent is worse than Brian White? If Gregg made these decisions the board would be apoplectic.

It doesn't sound like many are praising Poch or understand wtf he's doing

He’s probably trying to understand why nearly everyone in our player pool seems like a pussy.

Ok so if anyone on the pitch needs live reps it’s a GK

I was saying Turner should stay in MLS and not go to Arsenal because the shite defending in this league would keep him sharp.

At other positions it’s not as important because overseas everyone is fighting for a spot and not get relegated. So training is off the wall intense. But for GK at the club level there’s almost never an open competition for #1

He's actually been decent in Europe, but it always takes him a year or so before he figures it out, so to speak. I think his main issue though, is that he coaches finesse, that I honestly don't think we have that much of. These "young" players look like they're afraid to touch another player. They need to crawl up some asses, and mess up some buttholes; stop being the bottom. It is pride night after all.

It’s whatever

It’s the gold cup who cares

The nations league has replaced it in our federation

But I do love how GAM called out LD on his comments about Pulisic

Hopefully they smoked some meth or ate some bath salts at half. Gotta do something
