USMNT - 2026 Cycle - The Next Chapter

A pro needs to score that 80% of the time. Nice to see the kid from the MLS program (Galaxy 2 I think) finish like a pro.

The ending of this game was a little nuts. Guats drew a PK (legit, btw) and the Columbus Crew keeper stoned it. This all happened in like the 89th minute.

2-1 over Panama to setup a u-20 final with Mexico.

Completely forgot this was still going

FS1. Trinidadian ref. Be interesting to see how hacky this game gets. Especially after only a 2 day rest.

Ouch. Kinda soul crushing

The Poch rumor is gaining some steam tonight?

Ha, was coming here for that exact post. That would be like a 9/10 hire.

So, they’ve really, really decided against rehiring Greggg again this time?

They’ll wait 6 months, then rehire Gregg.

Love the Poch hire if it's true. Nobody can every predict if a manager is going to work out, but he's got a pretty good track record and a WAY better resume than any former US coach. I think he'd be great.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Aug 14, 2024 9:13 pm

Men in Blazers is now reporting it, and they have Fab so maybe it’s true?

Yep.

Hoooooooly fucking shit. I can't believe they did it.

Wow. It’s real?

MiB have never been wrong. And they announced it on their Early Kickoff podcast, saying US Soccer will announce today.

Well, this thread title finally seems fitting.

Congrats to Canada on beating the US on American soil for the first time while man-made satellites are a thing.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Sun Sep 08, 2024 11:59 am

I know they were missing a few key guys, but... Holy shit were the US bad yesterday.

Canada, very easily, could've been up 4-0 at HT. They missed 2 or 3 sitters AND our goal stole at least 2 standing on his head.

I get that the program is in flux, but these guys are professionals and Canada isn't THAT good. (no disrespect, they are VERY good... But the US play was garbage and they were getting opened up on very simple passes and movement.)

Berhalter is going to have to address that when he returns

I get results. Probably zero credit, though.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Tue Sep 10, 2024 7:43 pm

Pulisic is becoming the best player on the Nats in the way that Barry Sanders was the best player on the Lions.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Tue Sep 10, 2024 7:55 pm

I can’t imagine if that goal mattered at all.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Tue Sep 10, 2024 8:07 pm

That’s the fewest fucks given of any camp I can remember. What if the next one is better?

I don't follow the gossip enough to know if these guys really loved Greggg. If they did, a house-cleaning of sorts may be required.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Tue Sep 10, 2024 9:04 pm

So, without getting too deep into this, GGG created something akin to a "leadership council", which, you know... Is so 1999 USWNT I can't even.

The culture needs to be about accountability. You (pulisic) can't duff corners and free kicks into the nearpost with no results for 3 years running. Fuck that.

No one is secured. Prove your worth.

Come the fuck on.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Tue Sep 10, 2024 9:16 pm

Fossey the random Belgium guy we have out wide tonight... Fun to watch, but...like... We need to get a grip on this and not keep trying to find pretty random guys when we have a core.

The core is very VERY good. I sincerely hope we dont go all Julian Green and try to find random solutions when we have the horses. Just need to find an identity. fff.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Fri Oct 04, 2024 11:05 am

Maybe this guy should transition to pickleball.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Fri Oct 04, 2024 11:18 am

I can't imagine how frustrating it has to be to be an injury prone professional athlete. Not like David Wells with his presumably self-inflicted back issues, but like a guy who really does the training and rehab and shit just keeps happening.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Sat Oct 12, 2024 9:30 pm

I’m not smart enough to know if it’s the service or the structure or just Panama, but Pulisic’s corners seem way better tonight than in the past.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sun Oct 13, 2024 8:04 am

Probably a Milan thing. He’s in the form of his life, so a lot of credit probably needs to go to the Milan staff.

I fell asleep at halftime and it is a bit of a stretch to say I was awake during the first half, so, seemed good? Hopefully Poch had something to say about the 9:09ET kickoff time postgame.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Sun Oct 13, 2024 9:14 am

Watching it this morning... Pretty decent, overall. They still give up too many dangerous chances, but Turner was a rock.

The energy and sense of urgency was there, which was bizarrely missing the last 6 or so months.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Sun Oct 13, 2024 12:43 pm

Seemed better aside from the standard 10:00 span where they give up chance after chance to inferior sides. Good they didn’t concede but that was more finishing luck than anything they did.

Is the match available on replay anywhere?

Forgo to record it on Hulu live.

I hate to be an east coast crybaby, but... 10:30??

No thanks.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Tue Oct 15, 2024 10:43 am

If you ignore that Wednesday happens after Tuesday, it could work out for me really well with Yankees right into USMNT tonight. Of course, I theoretically could have watched the end of the Jets game last night but instead was asleep minutes after Weaver got the last out.

This is one of the best aspects of rolling with YouTube TV.
