well that's cool.

6/18/2009 10:21:01 AM

Brazil should be scared when we have a corner, not the other way around.

6/18/2009 10:21:36 AM

I BET WE'RE GONNA MISS A GOAL

6/18/2009 10:23:51 AM

Kaka should've made it 3

we are so fucking bad. If I were Adu, I would tell Bradley to fuck off and stop wasting my time calling me into camps

6/18/2009 10:23:54 AM

yea its bullshit that players like kjlestan and beasley are starting ahead of him. does it ever happen where the coach gets fired a year before the world cup when the team has almost qualified?

6/18/2009 10:25:54 AM

yeah, but we dont have the balls to fire anyone until they have a disastrous world cup...which is obv gonna happen next year

6/18/2009 10:30:50 AM

hey JT, how do you feel about this epic Brasilian rape?

6/18/2009 10:33:26 AM

Right now we look like the early version of the Big Green playing against the Knights.

6/18/2009 10:34:03 AM

Dunga kind of looks like Bono


and Kljestan kind of looks like a fuck face

Hold me thrill me kiss me kill me?

6/18/2009 10:37:22 AM

^^^^ hahaha we just need to hire steve gutenburg as our coach and get a mexican to play for us

[Edited on June 18, 2009 at 10:37 AM. Reason : asd]

6/18/2009 10:37:24 AM

we have a mexican already

6/18/2009 10:38:15 AM

yea but i mean a really good one

6/18/2009 10:41:13 AM

textbook defending by Bornstein on that free kick

standing perfectly still and turning to watch the ball go over his head

6/18/2009 10:43:19 AM

somebody tell me why we suck so badly...

i dont know anything about soccer, nor do i like it, but when USA plays i really get into it i guess for patriotism and looking for an upset since we seem to always be the underdog

are we too slow? not endured? not skilled enough? bad scheme? do we just not have kids in america who wake up and breathe soccer for 8 hours a day like all these other countries???

who can give me a fact based answer on this

6/18/2009 10:43:58 AM

we need a red card QUICK so we can have an excuse

- the ussf

i think u summed it up davey with all of the following

"are we too slow? not endured? not skilled enough? bad scheme? do we just not have kids in america who wake up and breathe soccer for 8 hours a day like all these other countries???"

plus we have Brett Favre, Tiger Woods, and Terrell Owens coverage to keep us occupied!

6/18/2009 10:45:30 AM

We've been way too slow in this one among other things.

6/18/2009 10:45:38 AM

coaching.

we've got players who play enough/are good enough skillwise, they are just coached wrong. we lack the correct tactical coaching to be great. we need better coaches in america than these average college coaches and mls coaches..

6/18/2009 10:47:47 AM

add to those things

no expectations or legit goals, no accountability for players and coaches, being content with mediocrity, more concerned with making money than making progress

it's really a top-to-bottom culture with USSF. Our team is obviously in big trouble right now regarding the World Cup but our fuckhead president is more concerned with hyping up bids to host in 2018 or 2022

AND

we treat the national team as a reward for players who have put in their time or are playing decently for their club team

Our coaching isn't great, but Brazil has players starting on some of the top European teams and our top players start in MLS and the smaller clubs in Europe. There is a big difference between Rangers, Fulham, Manchester United, and AC Milan.

6/18/2009 10:52:49 AM

^ fuck that excuse

Did you look at the roster for Egypt? Tell me where they play their club soccer

6/18/2009 10:53:55 AM

kakownd

6/18/2009 10:55:31 AM

Self-righteous high school and college coaches who've never set foot outside the US somehow find themselves in charge of coaching professionals, be it in the MLS or for the USMNT


The skill is not missing in the american game. It's a ball. You kick it. Not hard.


It is, however, improperly cultivated and grown.


End result is US players get on the world stage and find themselves thoroughly outclassed, because the coaches aren't cognizant of the things that make a team or players competitive. They don't know how to teach players to recognize things, because they themselves don't recognize them.

How many games have Iraq and Egypt won against the top teams in this tournament? One very poor minute of soccer vs Brazil was the difference between Egypt losing by 2 and losing by 1. I will say they have played better though.

6/18/2009 11:03:30 AM

yea and on the same note, 1 minute of bad soccer was the difference between tying and losing

6/18/2009 11:06:10 AM

and there's the problem with US Soccer

I'd rather have a team that shows heart and comes back to score goals and actually competes with a top team in the world, regardless of end result than this team that either gets completely embarassed and sits back and takes it like little bitches or plays boring, shitty soccer and either scrapes by with a win, or ONLY lose by 1 or 2

6/18/2009 11:09:54 AM

wow, horrible tackle

yeah good thing Kljestan's in there for his "defensive ability" that Adu apparently doesn't possess

6/18/2009 11:14:56 AM

lol at big4...

and a big lol at another red card...


i put a basic idea of why we arent at the top in soccer and kiljadn explained it fully...its that simple. we have plenty of talent with our players, just not the talent in the field...im hoping some of these players playing now who play in europe are taking this all in and maybe they will turn into coaches that can help turn things around

6/18/2009 11:17:31 AM

6/18/2009 11:18:20 AM

im gonna keep watching cause of my braaaazilian heritage. and just so i can tell you guys that we got scored on again by a great goal from a tough angle...

6/18/2009 11:18:21 AM

its the copa america all over again...except this is the usa's a squad

[Edited on June 18, 2009 at 11:20 AM. Reason : lol]

6/18/2009 11:19:48 AM

we're only down one man

6/18/2009 11:20:42 AM

well now jp says one man, i know i heard him say we were down 2 men at one point...maybe someone was injured? im pretty sure i didnt mishear, and i know jp is a dumbass so i can see him making a mistake somehow


p.s. thats how you effectively use wing-backs

ahahah fuckin jp

"this might be another of thoise games that bradley might be pleased with effort"

or whatever he said...god damn, if im the coach im not pleased with a single thing from this game.

6/18/2009 11:23:27 AM

well, at least brazil-spain will be fun

6/18/2009 11:24:55 AM

hell the rest of this game might be exciting to watch...wont be surprised to see brazil score a couple more
