Bend Over Like Beckerman
Blyve?
Hoke clap.
Balls
Prior to Brian's pre-game, I couldn't have said this, but this lineup sucks. Right guys?
Turn over machine
I'm playing the 4-pass drinking game. When the US completes 4 passes in a possession I take a drink. I'm pretty damn sober... and thirsty.
Why are we so awful at possessing the ball? We have so many turnovers from unforced errors.
Argentina is pressing hard to disposses us, and it's working well
I really try hard to get into soccer, but the flopping can make this truly unbearable at times. They need to cracked down on this.
Also, am I going crazy, or do I keep hearing random whistles throughout this match?
It's been happening all tourney.
Less flopping in that with no South America teams
Holy messi. Sublime

Messi is just unstoppable. He's beating us by himself.

Fuck Wondo
Fuck Beckerman
Messi is not of this world
I don't watch a lot of soccer but he is blowing my mind right now.
Where's that dude who chided me for saying I never wanted to see Wondo suit up for the US again? I want to put that sequence on repeat for him to watch again and again......

Well now we only hope to keep it closer than 7-0.

Mission accomplished... I guess.
Let's give Messi a free kick 10yards out of the box. What's the worst that could... Oh. That.
Had to take him down at that point, the real crime was a first touch way up the field that would have had my 12 year old apologizing to teammates. When wondo is your answer, you don't have an answer.
It's hard for anyone to coach a US team to be successful. How popular is the sport in the US? #5 overall.. Maybe? It's #1 just about everywhere else.
Argentina has 40mm people, we have a population of 330mm. The Latino demographic in the US is the fastest growing and soccer is the #1 sport for that group. TIme to stop with the excuses.
Yea but most all of them live for soccer.
Most Americans either don't care or are "meh"

and start criticizing the coach, the lineup etc. I guess it's the American way.
That's a poor argument. ..we have a fast growing Latino population..therefore we should have a good team
money, resources, and a growing population that loves and plays the sport....we should be able to put together a school and system that builds a competitive team.
Otherwise we should go the European route and just start importing players from countries we have essentially imperialized and give them citizenship. I know Klinsmann was trying that at some point.
Damn it...We are 'Merica. We should be able to pay for a winner!
Youth system in America is different than most other countries. It is still heavily dominated by the expensive travel teams. It doesn't take advantage of the demographic. Good thing is that it is slowly changing

and how long is that the case? It takes 20+ years for kids born here to become elite at the sport and even if their parents live for it, doesn't mean the kids will. Everywhere you go in latin america, every pissant hamlet no matter how small has a soccer field. That certainly isn't true for hispanic kids in the US everywhere
"USAARG BLYVE" is what I yelled after Messi hit that shot. Damn.
We have the worst midfield and can't possess the ball. Where is all this supposed money and resources towards US soccer going? We look like a High School team.
Tacticly poor, technically pathetic.
from ground up before we see the effect of the changes. Our youth system has sucked for years filled with parents who don't know shit about soccer coaching the team or coaches who wants to win games instead of developing technical skills.
We don't have the technical skills to compete with the elites.
U.S. will NEVER be competitive internationally. Kids grow up in other countries learning to dribble a soccer ball as soon as they can walk. Here kids play baseball, football, basketball and a lot other sports. Soccer will never be primary. Not an indictment, it's just the facts. People who believe the U.S. will one day reach the level of Europe or South America know nothing about soccer.
One of these teams is better than the other.
I think it's really cute when people think that U.S. soccer can compete with countries like Argentina. C'mong!!!!
When you're out three starters against the best team in the world, and one of those guys is perhaps your best player, yeah.... You're in trouble.
I will say this. Messi wouldn't have scored that goal if Woods was playing.
Even with the starters, the talent gap is still a 3-1 game.

Totally agree, I was just commenting that the guy who replaced Woods made the boo boo, and Woods would have never made that poor ball that made it to Messi's foot.
Well for a brief window every half century it may be possible. This is what happened in 2000s when donovan's teams beat portugal, spain and nearly brazil. Just gotta get lucky in terms of decent players coming up at the same time
I can't remember who here was screaming, basically, at me when I was praising Bradley up and down after the US beat Germany and Holland whenever the hell that was (pre-Gold Cup?).
Whoever you are - YOU WERE RIGHT
he sucked
Mls ruins players.
