You certainly don't want to discourage getting the best players on the roster. But I would argue that the US peeked in 2002 and has arguably...
I'll give you a better reason: who the hell anointed Sunil Gulati dictator for life? That's problem #1. He's not an executive. He's an academic...
It pains me to say this, but some of it is coaching. Klinnsman had a strategy for the players he used and they exploited that back line.
Arsenal just hired one of the Exos...
I'm with this. Not a bad guy per se, but his shtick was speed. It worked at a certain level, but we needed more. I don't put him on any level...
That's called Exos now. They've actually been around a while. Great business idea. They have a location not far from me and I'm scheduled to...
I wouldn't have even called it Howard's best game. And not a doubt in my mind that Friedel and Kasey Keller are his equals. IMO, Keller had more...
Holland will be fine. If you want proof that some countries will likely NEVER get it, here it is:...
It's definitely unrealistic to assume that Holland will be a top 5 team indefinitely. Let's face it, Holland has over achieved for quite some...
12 months can change a lot... There is no validity in this, but my heuristic is approximately 5. Meaning you need five world class players and...
I'm a control freak. Plus Dallas has had a bit of a history with insurrections. My calls for a machine gun pit were unheeded.

That's putting it nicely. Even the prostitutes in South Dallas wouldn't wear them.

Tried to stalk our man in Rome, Kevin Strootman tonight. However, tonight was bring your own security night at the Dallas Cotton Bowl. Who knew?...
I tend to agree with this. If you asked me to place a bet on either Holland or the US winning over the next four tourneys, I'll say Holland goes...
Yeah, you want to be real careful who you are nice to in Holland. In fact, I'd say expect a bad reception and be pleasantly surprised if anyone...
I'm asking you to give me a concrete and specific example of what more Julian Green should have done. Tell us again, what better use of a...
I'm not even going to ask for that, I'm in disbelief someone thinks scoring goals isn't enough. Would it help if he flew into the stadium on a...
I think what has been validly pointed out was that Greens name was mentioned far more in the context of his inclusion and Landon Donovan, than it...
This. Klinsman gets paid 2.5 mil. He can handle criticism. Same thing for Van Gaal. He made mistakes few are pointing out. I wouldn't have...
Your analysis is too dizzying to give serious thought, but I get to this last sentence and I really scratch my head. What else precisely, would...
Good point. I don't think any of us think we need to back the truck up and just turn them loose. They need time and coaching to develop. It's...
That he's inexperienced is an objective statement, but a kamikaze pilot is inexperienced as well and you only need them to do the job one time....
Good point. It's fascinating that some hold themselves out as fans, but will make up their mind whether to support a player based on irrelevant...
