    Pulisic injured his thumb and is having it checked out today. Unsure if that would affect his availability though.

    I don't expect you to know, but if anyone does:
    Is the north lot open for public parking or is this one of those "Strictly reserved for US Soccer" situations?
    What's the tailgate scene?

    I can only assume he injured his thumb while a teammate was telling him to pull it out of his ass.

    Alexi Lalas - yeah, yeah, I know - said on his pod that Poch should be fired. He said that hes getting paid $6 million a year and for that kind of money you have the right to demand some results.

    Stu Holden disagreed, but said that USSF itself needs to be cleaned out since they began this mess with botching the Berhalter situation, keeping him too long and leaving a mess for an Argentine with no clue about American soccer players or culture to clean up and no time to do it.

    They cleaned house after the 2022 world cup. Earnie and McBride left. Jay was gone well before that. These are some of our most well known analysts.

    Michael Bradley is at the facility.
    Edit Im wrong


    I was in the chalk talk with Neil McGuinness, and someone asked him how do you think the players react to when we boo Michael bradley, and he said they do not really, but maybe you can ask him, and Michael bradley was just outside the door.

    U.S. men’s soccer in Columbus: what to know about match against Japan https://www.nbc4i.com/sports/mls/co...umbus-what-to-know-about-match-against-japan/

    Tuesday will be the 15th game for the U.S. men’s team in Columbus. The trips to central Ohio began 25 years ago when the team played Costa Rica at Historic Crew Stadium before the Crew’s old stadium became the unofficial home of the U.S.-Mexico rivalry.

    Nope.

    Nope?

    Honest question: Was the draw with Costa Rica in the autumn after the first dos-a-cero?

    NO. The Costa Rica game was first. It happened in the semifinal round in October.

    I think Lalas is right. To quote the title of this thread, we've completely Screwed This Poch. He's the wrong guy for the job.

    Unfortunately, I don't see it happening this close to the World Cup, because I don't think you really have enough time to start from scratch.

    Should I be surprised @kgilbert78 hasn't chimed in yet?

    The USMNT played in Dublin circa 92/94, did they not?

    US Soccer should have honored Bradley for his "contributions" at tomorrow's match in Columbus, instead of last Saturday in NJ. Can you imagine the fun we would have had with that one?

    Poch's record:

    2-0 W v Panama
    2-0 L v Mexico
    1-0 W v Jamaica
    4-2 W v Jamaica
    3-1 W v Venezuela*
    3-0 W v Costa Rica*
    0-1 L v Panama
    1-2 L v Canada
    1-2 L v Turkey
    0-4 L v Switzerland
    5-0 W v T&T
    1-0 W v Saudi Arabia
    2-1 W v Haiti
    2-2 D v Costa Rica
    2-1 W v Guatemala
    1-2 L v Mexico
    0-2 L v South Korea

    17 Games Played
    9 Wins
    1 Draw
    7 Losses

    vs FIFA top 30 ranked teams (aka World Cup teams):

    8 Games Played
    1 Win (friendly v Panama)
    0 Draws
    7 Losses

    Goals Scored: 5
    Goals Allowed: 15

    Saying we don't have time is irrelevant because the team literally can't get worse. He needs to go, immediately. USSF won't because then the people who hired him will have to go to.

    They should have noted this seat as an obstructed view seat. I can go into the rail club if I get annoyed though 20250909_192205.jpg
