Losing is going to happen... the way that they lost is totally unacceptable.
They deserve to lose just for wearing those BLACK uniforms!
WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!
It's RED, WHITE and BLUE!!! Pick one of those. Pick them all. I don't care. But you DO NOT WEAR BLACK when representing the United State of America!!!

:censored: ... you can mix and match the three too for some variety. But yes, should only be Red, White and Blue in some combination.
It's weird because they hit a slump after strong efforts in friendlies against (Belgium and Germany?) and I thought they had started to turn it around again, but clearly they are right back to playing like crap. I don't see how you continue with Jurgen and an immediate move might give them enough spark to save their hex chances.
I think we'll still be fine as far as qualifying goes. We just played 2 of our 3 toughest games in the Hex. And we've never won in Costa Rica, so I wasn't necessarily expecting a win out of it, but that score line is discouraging.
Just don't have a whole ton of room for error now.
I just got an alert on my phone than Klinsmann is "1000% sure that the US will make it to the World Cup."
Somebody may want to teach him how math works.

I'd be ok with his awful math if he coached better. Too bad he doesn't do that well either.
Jurgen's done. Rumors are that Bruce Arena may be back at the helm
As F Da Sue said in the other thread, USMNT on FS1 at 9:30. World Cup Qualifier against Honduras. Pretty important game, we need a result after dropping our first two.

Pulisic!
Can't wait until the silly little soccer team MN, the Mallards or whatever folds and goes away.

Boooooom!!!!
Great run by Pulisic to open it up. Lletget finishes and USMNT are up 1-0 early!!
Pulisic makes some magic on the sideline and the ref calls it out (it wasn't) negating a clear breakaway. Grrrr.
BRADLEY!!!!
Nice finish! 2-0 USMNT!
Pulisic is scary good for his age. He could turn I toan absolute stud for the next decade
DEUCE!!!
3-0! I jokingly said to my roommate when the game started, "Let's make it a 6 goal win to erase that goal differential". We just might!

The most exciting US prospect in my lifetime, I think. Maybe ever?
Kid is soooo good.
So I haven't been following closely but Bruce Arena was the best idea they could come up with for the new coach?

Wasn't Freddy Adu supposed to be God's gift to soccer?
PULISIC!!!!
4-0!!!

Adu was like child prodigy, super high potential guy that never panned out.
Pulisic is actually playing (and scoring goals) at the highest level of world football.
DEUCE!!
What a ball by Pulsic. He is UNREAL!!!!
That ball by Pulisic was seriously unbelievable. Could not have placed it better if you wanted.
Hahahaha Deuce! Hatty!
6-0!
6-0 final. Just what the doctor ordered. Right back in the thick of the hex.

With a huge boost in goal diff.

Yeah.... That was me.
I don't care about club soccer, only US & International soccer. I got sick of reading through the endless thread about club when I just want to know about International.
So... I figured... I run this place, why not just create a separate thread to make it easier for myself.
Selfish? Yep!
Do I care? Nope!

Got a draw @ Panama last night. Would have been nice to ride the momentum from Honduras and bank a couple more points with a win, but it's not the worst result.
Next set of fixtures is June 7 & 11. Home against Trinidad and Tobego, and then Mexico at El Azteca. Coming out of that with 4 points would be nice.

I don't follow this all that much, but it seems like the USA v. Mexico games are always @ Mexico. Why

Actually, it's the other way around. We play Mexico in the US more often. The last 20 years, they've played 31 times... 23 in the US. It's usually a "home" crowd for Mexico unless it's a World Cup Qualifier though.

Yeah, maybe you have just happened to catch most of the away matches by coincidence. Like Viking said though, even if they play in the US, sometimes it's like a Mexico home match (or at least like a 50/50 split), in places like Houston, Phoenix, San Jose, etc.
That's why I think USA Soccer tries to play them in places like Columbus more often.

Maybe that's what it is. Just seems like the crowd is usually far more pro-Mexico than pro-USA when ever I see clips of their games, etc.
I wonder who will get the final? Guessing it's the Rose Bowl again...

Yeah, not great. Pretty clear that early on Arena wanted to goad T&T into attacking by sitting back. I'd expect a little more pressing by USA here in the 2nd half.
PULISIC!!!
The boy who would be king!
Pulisic again!!!
We've got quite a player on our hands, folks.
At 18, I hope that he is the first of a new generation of players coming up. He is damn good.

He just has a little something extra that I don't think I've ever seen from a USA player. Like he has a 6th sense for the game. Dempsey has it to some extent, I think, but not to the extent that Pulisic does.
Nice win. Next up, Mexico at El Azteca on Sunday night.
