USA Soccer thread

With David and Buchanan being 2 of their best players, I'm pretty sure the Canada plan was to rest them for a much more winnable game vs El Salvador. I think Canada would tell you they were pretty shocked to be 1-1 in midway through the 2nd Half without those 2 so they thought, what the hell, lets put these guys in and maybe win this game.


I think their plan was always to put those guys out there at some point unless the game got out of hand and they didn't think they could make a difference. Those guys were warming up to potentially come in before Canada scored, and I think that even down one with 20 or 25 minutes left they would have thrown them out there and tried to get an equalizer.
 
By the way, the US sent Weston McKennie back to Jueventus today, so he is not playing on Wednesday.
What the hell?? Anyone know what he did?

I didn’t watch the El Salvador game but heard he was matched up with a guy in the midfield whose name I’ve heard of (an MLS player) and Weston lost 13 of 16 duals against the guy. So there’s something going on there.

Failure to follow simple covid protocols. Talented but total bonehead

It's pretty clear that you don't respect anyone who knows more than you about any topic, so whatever.

I broke this down for you before. Zardes has now played something like 15 games against high level teams, high level European teams, Mexico or Costa Rica. In those games he has scored exactly one goal, in a friendly against the Netherlands. For a number nine whose main job on the field is to score goals, one goal in 15 games is, well, not good. Not good at all.

But hey, he scored a goal against Martinique, so he must be good!
You don't know more about everything soccer, that's clear by your comments.

You broke it down for me? Like I said, you are NOTHING, NOBODY, not an authority who knows any more than I do.
 
vs who?

They beat Mexico twice in games that really didn't matter.

He loses Wednesday, he's done.
VS the teams they are mandated to play in their region. THANK GOD they didn't join UEFA, like you wanted, at least in CONCACAF they still have a chance. VS Who is a stupid question, if the last 5 games where Brazil, France, England, Italy and Argentina, if they went 2-3 you'd probably want to give him an extension. I don't think he's done if he loses.
 
How can that be? He plays in Europe! MLS players really suck, don't they?
This gets a bit tiresome because it sounds like you are defending MLS. I get it that you aren’t because no sane person would compare a player from MLS to a player that a club like Juventus spent millions on. But there’s a reason why McKinney was dominated. Hint: it wasn’t about talent.
 
It's just stupid on the face of it, to just assume every player in Europe, is automatically better than every player in MLS. Collectively yes, but no, not every individual, That's just too DUMB of a thing to think. LOL
 
I sat next to Tony Meola at a UVA men’s soccer game but didn’t realize it until about 20 different people stopped by to greet him. I hadn’t seen him since the failed NFL stint.

Took me forever to figure out who he was too. It’s hard to perform discreet google searches with someone right to the side of you.

There is no one, and I mean absolutely no one, who thinks any such thing. But good job in knocking over that strawman. Well done, I guess.

I think it's pretty obvious that just about everyone who posts in these threads knows more about soccer than you. Not withstanding the fact that you once played some pickup games.

Seriously, I've never seen someone as threatened by the fact that people on an internet message board know more about something than they do. Relax man, it's just fun and games.
 
Reports are the McKennie actually violated covid protocols twice. First he left the team bubble and spent a night someplace other than the team hotel. Then on a different night he brought an unauthorized person into the bubble at the hotel.

Dumbass.

Then why are you threatened, you're nothing, you don't know anymore than me or anyone else. A lot of the nonsense you take as fact is laughable.
 
Well as we wake up with morning...I think we all should be a lil nervous for tonight. Part of me wants to think this team will get their shit in 1 sock and pull out 3 points. But nothing in the past 2 games leads me to think that will happen. If...If...they lose, they will have a massive amount of pressure to get 9 points in the next window.

It shouldn't be much to ask to be able to go to Honduras and beat a squad of 11 players who play in the Honduran league and MLS. The highest paid 11 players on the field will all be Americans.

I think a lot of these CONCACAF games vs. teams full of MLS, LigaMX and Central American league or Caribbean players kind of proves that having a roster of Euro League players, doesn't guarantee victory. Plus your 11 Hondurans and MLS guy team, probably plays together way more, so just because you have guys from Premier League or La Liga is no guarantee of anything.

I'm sure El Salvador was just MLS and Salvadoran League players, right? Why didn't the EuroStuds score?
