The biggest youth sport in America is soccer but there's a tipping point around middle school where kids stop playing at higher and higher rates....
The problem for Mexico isn't that they're not sending players to Europe it's that how many 16-19 year olds are good enough to even play in LigaMX?...
The difference between the US and Mexico is that the US knew it was bad at soccer and set out to improve so they did the only thing they could....
Because USSF isn't going to fire Greg and hire a nobody. Second everyone on this board would scream bloody murder if we did. Why would you want...
Yeah I had no idea he got $30m in salary. It never occurred to me that those were the dollar figures being thrown around. I don't blame the man...
Honest to God I don't even know what to say to that. That's insane and now I totally understand how they nabbed a coach of his caliber. WTF! It...
Wait, what? He got paid how much? Are you for real with that salary? That's crazy and honestly if true in American dollars he should have taken...
A hell of a lot cause it was the only way he'd take the job. My question would be if he'd consider taking less to coach the US. Not sure he...
Just curious if we even tried to hire anyone big outside of the US. Roberto Mancini would have turned us down for Saudi Arabia if we'd honestly...
Paredes should walk into the Olympic team as the starting LW. It's really just a matter if they want Lund as 2nd choice at Copa or starting in...
Unless Brown is willing to commit to the US Lund and Tolken are fighting it out to start on the Olympic team.
Okay so it is '01. Damn. Good to know though. Thanks.
What's the age cutoff for the Olympics? Is Aaronson eligible for that squad?
With Haji, Sargent, Vasquez all doing phenomenal who could you spare from the Copa roster that is U-23 to put on the Olympics? My first thought...
That goal is worth a lot of money to Coventry. Good on Haji. He's been great this season for them and continues his good run of form, what four...
I have no idea what he's supposed to do here. So question for the keepers out there is he supposed to let the cross go across the box and be in...
Did Horvath's move to Cardiff City go through too? Rumor is that's where he's headed.
He's supposedly getting his Mexican passport. Whether that's enough to satisfy their requirements I'm not sure. He'd probably get paid in Mexico...
That ball was going to hit the post or go just wide. He didn't steal back anything.
The higher level matters because it's the EPL. The sheer quality of teams/attackers in the EPL vs the Championship is so starkly different that...
Trusty just because of the level he's playing at and not sinking in the EPL vs Championship last season. Problem is he's not a great passer....
Game's not over but Trusty appears to be the only defender not trashed by the ratings against Arsenal today. A mobile, athletic lefty CB who can...
I'm not sure it's possible for him to be worse than their other CBs so he's got a real chance to snatch the job, considering the dumpster fire...
Okay that was not how I interpreted your comment. My bad, I read that wrong. Yes obviously he can show more because he basically showed nothing....
Stand there in your wrongness and be wrong.
