    How many games do we win in 2026-27?

    Seems like 3-6 is the range per the survey. If Beck has to start, then I'm betting on the lower end. Injuries can also push it lower since this team doesn't have a lot of depth on the Oline or WR. If the defense gets the injury bug, then all bets are off. A healthy defense will help to some...

    They need to get this done. Pochettino needs a full cycle to fully implement his system. Two years and few matches before the World Cup (no qualifying matches) didn't allow for him to spend much time with the players. Having qualifying matches and CONCACAF will alow him to further evaluate...

    Adams probably would have been okay if he had just stuck to this weapon.

    In other news Spain took Argentina behind the wood shed and gave them a proper beating. I can't recall when I watched a game and one team had zero shots on goal after 90 minutes of play like Argentina did. In fact 70+ minutes in they didn't even have a shot period.

    In some respects it is hard to find coaches that are qualified to teach and improve players and are willing to do it for little or no money. Most of them want to capitalize on the pay to play model currently in place.

    So thinking about this, is part of the problem the breath and width of the US compared to other countries in that the search for talent is restricted to certain areas of the country or hotbeds of soccer, take St. Louis for example considered a hotbed of soccer so scouting is focused there and...

    When my children played back in the 90s, almost every town had a intramural and a club soccer program. My costs were a small fee $25-$35 for helping keep maintenance on fields and nets and the cost of the uniform. That was it. Most coached were volunteer and some clubs had one higher level...

    Two things I take from this article. 1. I disagree that our players are as technically as good as many other countries. To me that means the ability to receive, carry and pass the ball at a high level. Our players, as this WC had shown, are not equivalent to the top teams. Against Belgium...

    I came across a couple of articles that I thought really hit home. Taylor Twellman on USMNT Performance against Belgium USMNT failed because of players, not coach.

    Well, I'm ready to throw out my two cents worth of diatribe. Belgium was so ready for this game. I think the whole red card thing galvanized them to the point where they came out ready to destroy any team they played. The US meanwhile came out like they were so stiff worrying about now having...
