US Men's National Team Discussion

[WI_Red]

The 6 is the ONE position the US doesn't have or hasn't developed an alternative to Adams. They've looked at LDT, Erik Williamson, Acosta...who are all shit. I think Aidan Morris is the kid they want to make into that type of Adams player. Let's see how they use Busio and Sonora if they come on at all.

Busio is not on this roster and I thought Sonora was more of an 8/10. Johny Cardosa is the only (kind of??) 6 on the roster. He starts for one of the best teams in Brazil, but he has not ever really impressed on the National team.

haha....well kick off time in Vegas is 7pm so that's normal time for them. I live in central time but i'm in NC right now so i have to deal with EST now and i hate it. Kickoff is 9pm normal for me and ended at 11 is great.

In NC as well now and the 10pm start sucks. I was able to move my 4am call with an Italian customer to this morning, so while I will be tired as shit at least I can “sleep in”.

agreed the 10pm start time is miserable which is honestly why i don't understand having these matches on the west coast

 

[WI_Red]

Nailed it, 11/11

 

[WI_Red]

GGG is coming back

 

[bosskeano]

If Berhalter comes back we are stupid and it was pointless hiring the guy from Soton as he's an outsider and should have been looking for more high profile guys

 

[bosskeano]

i'm going to watch the match actually on univision even though i can't speak spanish

Agreed. If G*3 gets rehired it suggests that that dude is not really in charge. For the sake of even perceived authority he needs his own hire.

Yeah, putting this on a streaming only platform, and not a one most people have, is not great. Luckily I got it for Europa league and WCQ’s.

Are you going to the Gold Cup match in Charlotte?

I wish. I am flying out Sunday night (the 2nd) for work. If the game had been earlier.... oh well.

That sucks. The first time they've ever played in Charlotte, I think. My best friends live in Charlotte so it will make an easy trip, and I have Outlaws tickets.

 

[WI_Red]

I would say unbelievable, but it really isn't. US Soccer is totally amateur hour. I refuse to believe the new S'hampton guy is 100% behind this.

 

[WI_Red]

CONCACAF refs going to CONCACAF. Not going to get a call tonight.

Dest (in a good way)

 

[WI_Red]

for the love of god pulisic.

 

[bosskeano]

what a shocking miss by pulisic

 

[awop]

Pulisic with a Chelsea style finish

 

[WI_Red]

We are so much better than Mexico athletically and technically. It really is shocking.

 

[one340]

Being a Mexican national team fan truly is heartbreaking right now... the quality here is just awful. Thank God Pulisic is still on his Chelsea shooting form

It is sad. I want Mexico to be good, it can only help the US having multiple rivals of quality. Canada stepping up has made up for Costa Rica's decline, but the region needs Mexico to be Mexico!

 

[WI_Red]

This ref is doing my head in.

 

[bosskeano]

goal Pulisic

 

[WI_Red]

fecking deserved lead. Well done.

 

[bosskeano]

honestly a well deserved goal....US has dominated this match so far

 

[WI_Red]

The gulf between us and Mexico has never been bigger. This is shocking.

 

[FerociousCorgis]

Greg reportedly coming back. What a fecking joke federation.

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

They couldn't make a worse choice could they. I guess they don't care about wc2026 on home soil with that hire. Shame because a good NT manager could do something with that squad.

 

[WI_Red]

What a joke, and what a wase of the most talented team we have ever had. Shocking.

 

[edcunited1878]

fecking inept morons. We deserve the shit that is again coming our way. This is the definition of insanity, what in the fecking hell.

 

[WI_Red]

This news coming out and overshadowing what has been a historically dominant half by the US is the most Berhalter thing that ever Berhaltered. The federation is a disgrace. They know none of us will "find another team", so they go with the cheap option. fecking disgraceful if true.

 

[forevrared]

Between the Qatar news and Berhalter coming back in the same day, I may just give up football altogether.

Just do what I did and smoothly move from a Belgian tripel to a couple of hazy IPA's and enjoy how fecking good we are. The best group of talent we have ever had, by magnitudes.

 

[bosskeano]

goal pulisic

 

[WI_Red]

feck yeah. Puli with a second.

 

[bosskeano]

the pace of weah, balo and pulisic is tearing mexico to pieces

 

[WI_Red]

I'll say it again, the gulf has never been bigger.

 

[one340]

This is painful to watch for me.... Mexico needs an overhaul because this is pure shit

It really is shocking. There seems to be no "next generation" for Mexico. I used to fear playing you guys, but now I worry about Canada more. Is it Mexico lacking talent or the US overtaking Mexico? I think it's both.
