there's Pulisic!!
This team and system desperately need Yedlin.  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/4/2019 12:13 am : link
Great play by Morris.
There's that bullshit..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/4/2019 12:17 am : link
reaction when hit in the face.

If you're going to act like you've gotten a eye gouged, get in there like a wrestler and at least razor blade some forehead blood up.
Zardes..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/4/2019 12:18 am : link
is fucking useless. Why does he get any run at all?
Holy shit  
dep026 : 7/4/2019 12:18 am : link
You got to finish that.
Zardes  
slickwilly : 7/4/2019 12:19 am : link
Smh
Lol Zardes looks so useless when there is other speed on  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/4/2019 12:22 am : link
the field
Arriola is fucking useless.  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/4/2019 12:25 am : link
. Hopefully Boyd learns how to track back and we can go him and Morris on the wings.
The Zardes sub  
dep026 : 7/4/2019 12:32 am : link
Has been an utter disaster.
Doesn’t the US have anyone better  
dep026 : 7/4/2019 12:38 am : link
Than Arriola?
Zardes came in too early, we'll lose if we give up a goal.  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/4/2019 12:45 am : link
.
Pulisic again!  
Del Shofner : 7/4/2019 12:48 am : link
.
Pulisic is ice cold. I'm getting a kit once we change cycles,  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/4/2019 12:48 am : link
these are hideous.

Sunday features the USWNT against the Netherlands in the WC final somewhere in France, and the USMNT against Mexico in the GC final at Soldiers Field in Chi-town.
The team is just so much  
D-Rod : 7/4/2019 1:13 am : link
better with Altidore out there.

I was thinking the same thing!! This cycle of kits is horrendous
It is probably a marketing  
section125 : 7/4/2019 7:53 am : link
thing, but why do they need to have a different kit each game? You turn on the game and have to deduce which team is the US, especially since red, white and blue are the colors of several teams. Wish they could find a standard set of uni's.

Nike has to overdo it always. At least it's not the new Juve jersey with pink.
Couple of overall soccer notes to keep it in one thread

At the same time of the US weather delay, you saw the last gasp of Chile's golden generation as they lost 3-0 to Peru. Game was closer than the score, and while vidal still has some legs, Alexis sanchez is finished and United will have to take 25 cents on the dollar to get rid of him.

Joao Felix to Atletico Madrid for 113M pounds. He'll replace Griezmann who is likely headed to Barca. Atletico also sell Rodri to Man City for 62.8 million (obvious FFP no issue for City).

Lastly, today is the 15-year anniversary of Euro 2004!
Also on this day in 1998  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 7/4/2019 9:06 am : link
the famous Bergkamp goal vs Argentina in the World Cup. I saw this live in DC with a group of college buddies and the place went bananas.

I seriously dislike the red jerseys.

They’ve had some really great white and a few nice blue ones.

Usmnt and Nike need to make dough.
Some questions for the soccer crowd  
GiantGrit : 7/4/2019 10:06 am : link
Never played, i do really enjoy watching the national team when on. I wish they wore the white uniforms with the red & blue forming what looks like a flag, i think they wore them earlier this tournament.

Why is our program still struggling? Some say its because our best athletes aren't playing soccer, but we have so many great athletes in this country i find that hard to believe. I know Pulisic, McKinnie, Adams, Sargent, Yedlin, maybe Weah are supposed to give the US hope, how do you guys feel about them?

Is it true Berhalter got the job because of politics? If you could choose any coach for the national team, who would you pick?

It frsutrates me we are not farther along with soccer. You just know the rest of the world would be pissed if we became a power. cheers, happy 4th.

And Super Frank Lampard named Chelsea head coach this morning.

well, his brother is odds on favorite to succeed Gulati as CEO/Pres of USSF, if I have the positions right. And there are many within the organization who are not happy about that, per reports.

He is awful, zero touch or ability to make something happen.

I'm not sure how he keeps getting call ups, let alone playing time. How anyone could objectively evaluate his performance and truly believes he needs to be out there is mind-blowing. Other than being fast, he brings nothing to the table.

ColHowPepper : 7/4/2019 10:45 am : link
the same can be said of many of the players who receive multiple auditions and playing time in int'l caps, it's confounding.

And is Yedlin injured? Why is he not in mix for GC?

I agree, but he is the most egregious example.

Yes, Yedlin and Brooks are both hurt unfortunately
this was a nice win but  
FranchiseQB : 7/4/2019 11:37 am : link
I liked the USMNT program better when they were leaning more heavily on players who work in Europe moreso than the MLS. Other than CP and WM the rest of the squad looks really pedestrian and they are all MLS alum.
doesn't most the lineup play overseas?  
Eric on Li : 7/4/2019 3:57 pm : link
Ream, Steffan, Miazga, CP, McKinnie, Altidore/Bradley have obviously both been there/done that. Yedlin/Brooks if they weren't hurt. Boyd hopefully taking on a bigger role soon.

The last few games have been really interesting not just in the wins but the way they've played. They've maintained possession, they've put their good players in a position to succeed, and the structure has looked composed for the first time in a while. Will those things continue when the quality gets stepped up? Idk but considering where things were before this tournament started it's got to be encouraging.
