frick, gentleman, there's not a goddamm USA thread on the front page.

All this mother fricking EPL is annoying. frick the EPL. frick Man City. frick Man United. frick Chelsea. frick Liverpool. frick. Them. All.

This is America, you goddamm Tory, loyalist bunch of Benedict Arnolds.


ETA: Jesus Christ, there's a Ligue 1 thread on my front page?!?!?!?!?! France?



YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!


Where are you, Ameritards?

I want some serious USMNT discussion. Two years into the project, how are we all feeling about JK?
I think he's more pragmatic than most people anticipated, or even will admit to now, but I still think he's doing a nice job.

Will Stuart Holden ever be the midfield partner to Michael Bradley we all hoped he'd be?

Where are all our center backs? Is Geoff Cameron a 2014 World Cup starter? Honestly, I've been pegging Edu and Cameron to get looks there for a while, but I don't know if they can coexist.

Oh yeah, and frick you, England.

Love JK so far.

I think he's going to be really feast or famine on a game to game basis. His tactics are a little more adventurous than Bradley's, which will lead to a lot more variation. We'll pull some upsets, and we'll get caught on the counter and lose some games we shouldn't.

I'll say this, JK has had a few games where I thought. "this is the best I've seen the US play," from an aesthetic standpoint.

What scares me right now is the increased talent in CONCACAF. Canada and Honduras are more competitive than they've ever been. Mexico is a legit top 10 team in the world, IMO. Costa Rica is always a threat. I think qualification will be more difficult this time around, and not because we're weaker.

I know when I played FIFA World Cup 2010, I found it very difficult to qualify.

Yeah, it's hard to argue that the U.S. isn't as good as ever with a final showing at the World Cup and recent road wins over Italy and Mexico. But I do not expect qualification to be easy. Heck, every time I see Darren Mattocks, I get worried about the two upcoming games against Jamaica.

Winning on the road in Italy and Mexico is enough to get anyone excited. I like where we are heading especially with some new guys showing good form (Johnson, Cameron, Gomez).

What is his timetable for return to playing with Bolton?

I don't think Jurgy's gonna run a straight 4-4-2, but I agree with most of your picks.

Johnson behind Dempsey has the potential to be a dangerous wing side. Would love to see this, but it will probably never happen. Is Holden really going to recover from his injury and pick his form up that fast? It's been forever since he's played on a field...

Holy frickballs I've been meaning to start a thread about this. Darren Mattocks is sooo nasty. He's a Usain bolt type of freak athlete.
