CP is a lot like Donovan to me. They just don’t have the personality and toughness to be a captain just happen to be the most talented player on the team.

Dempsey is the USMNT

how is this bullshite being upvoted? i fricking hate our fanbase and how we talk about landon donovan, so disrespectful to our best player ever who showed up in all the biggest moments.

the 2 most important goals in USMNT history both belong to landon donovan.
club soccer wise? yes

national team performance? no

Spain hasn't looked all that great

:lol: how many goals have they given up?

2010 and 2014 was really a tie. I think their group stage result gave 2014 the nod to me but I agree. Tonight’s effort knocked 2026 almost below 1994 to me.

2010 probably should have won their knockout game.

2014 was a miracle to even be in it thanks to tim.

that was how i broke the tie.
ill take 2010 over 2014. and this team is realistically better than both but you cant really rank them that way after tonight so i agree there.

Poch made really good halftime adjustments after the team was shell shocked in the first half then that absurd goal ruined any chance we had of keeping confidence.

and what if, for example, the other goalkeeper would have never made that absurd goal happen?

just so odd that we are giving this dude a pass for that performance. in any other situation, it's on the coach to have your team show up for the biggest game of their lives.
quote:

Poch made all the right moves. Can’t blame him for the players not stepping up. Hopefully the U20 team can get some help.

why are we sucking his dick and giving him a free pass?

he made ALL the right moves? are you sure?

are you positive our best keeper was even playing? got their fricking asses absolutely handed to them. worst round of 16 performance we've had. an unmitigated failure. why is the coach off the hook?
quote:

What sucks the most about this is we’ll see our best manager we’ve ever had take off.

best coach ever? same results as all the others in a home hosted world cup
we are still trotting ricardo pepi out there like he could possibly make a difference in this level of game?

I've never understood the whole "just think if LeBron played soccer" thing. You ever noticed that the GOAT of the sport is a 5'6 dude with Asperger's?

my take on it is that the freak athlete 5'7" kids in america are probably the guys you hear about being the best high school football/basketball player you've ever seen but they were 5'7" and no one has ever heard of them.

imagine if every single one of those kids played soccer their whole life. that's what happens in every other country that is competitive.

the best soccer player in american history is probably some 5'8" kid from valdosta, ga that could dunk since middle schoool and has never touched a soccer ball
dest was objectively terrible but he provides something that we have basically none of. im good with the sub, he was bad tonight, but dont think that should mean he's done if we advance or anything like that.
pulisic seems way more fine than is being implied here. he had like 2 consecutive bad touches and that was it?

Worst player on the field by a mile.

malik tillman somehow has scored a goal and has still yet to take a good touch
who cares about spain? we arent gonna win this tournament. we could actually win this game

Idk how to describe this but that was the nerdiest sounding crowd singing the anthem I’ve ever heard

it's soccer fans in seattle, it probably was the nerdiest sounding crowd singing the anthem ever

Calvin Johnson ended up at a program running the option still

no he didn't :lol:
add this to the long, long list of reasons why college football will die within the next generation or so. how does everybody see what is happening and is unanimously against all of it and yet it just marches on

One of the best seasons we've ever had in our history and one hell of a fun ride. Hard to be too upset about in general, although obviously would have liked to see it end differently.

definitely correct and the right perspective.

the way it went down blows just because it really felt like the natty was ours to lose. probably unfair to UNC who did everything they needed to do and may have been better suited for omaha than us anyway had we got to them.

positive is that we didnt lose to tech or any other rival in omaha which would have been just frankly devastating and a pain in the arse for years to come.

the reality that your bats are a no-show

yes, obviously.

has nothing to do with the size of the field.
i think honestly he just thought that pitch was a strike
