The Official US Soccer thread

I guess Norway and Morocco are my top 2 out of the teams left. Either one would be absolutely profound champs. Argentina, France or Spain..... Blech. Same old same old.

My mom was British so I'm cheering for England now even though I cheered for Mexico against them in he last game.

But yeah Norway or Morocco would be cool

Never England

Norway would be fun

As for the positioning of the team - it's still where it is, which is disappointing as there are some players of quality

They are definitely a top 20 team, but definitely not a top 10. Then as mentioned above, even within the top 10 you really only have 3-4 serious contenders.

Occasionally there is a nice story or a good run, but generally the top are the top.

They all have something that is world class.

The US doesn't have that difference making component and they have a couple areas that are below grade - that keeps them stuck where they are

This team couldn't carry the '02 team's jock straps. Anyone want to argue that truth?

What a bunch of little *******. What a bunch of freaking embarrassments. Dest? I don't ever want to see you on the field again. Freese? I don't want to see you in a squad again. Old Man Ream finally, unfortunately, proving me right and showing why he never belonged. Pulisic? Your U.S. career is over. You come out of THIS game? You punk out that bad and then cry on the sidelines? Oh fudge no. Unless your freaking leg is freaking falling off, you gut it out and turn the tide. Poch? Gone. fudge this whole team. U.S. Soccer right back in the dumper where it belongs, I guess.

The only, the freaking ONLY unacceptable result was to get shellacked.

Yeah I’ll be pulling for Harry Kane. He’s one of my favorite players because I’m a spurs fan. But it’s still hard to root for England. I think I’ll be rooting for Morocco or anyone aside from Argentina and France. I actually like Belgium but I’ve always felt like their time has passed. Hope they beat Spain.

Harry Kane can go to hell. He's a dirty as hell player and he gets away with it with the refs barely ever calling a foul, let alone issuing a card. Can't stand the guy for this reason, and his incessant whining.

Well it’s a bummer of a sport sadly. Every kid here grows up playing soccer and most of them choose a different sport for a reason. Kids want to do more than 90 minutes of cardio.

You can stand in left field for 2 hours and still gets 4 cracks to do something special at the dish.

Clown take.
