The lunatics in the USMNT forum have been going nuts (well, they are nuts, but now a bit nuttier) over Pochettino's comments. That have a thread about some perceived "MLS bias" with the USMNT, to air their grievances when an MLS player is called up to the USMNT. Now there is a thread that Pochettino is out of his mind for suggesting that MLS might be competitive with European leagues. Multiple threads calling his ouster. The USMNT forum is a scary place. @loonixxx, stay away! I was there for five minutes and I felt my brain trying to escape from my cranium by squeezing through my ears!
