That was funny, a commercial about resurrection and new start, in a game where we are losing 3-0 to Venezuela.
Coach in any other country would be fired after the whistle, replaced, and Trapp and things would change. Hard to do it completely when the coach botches a roster which is final. Even a replacement tomorrow would have this roster still.
Can we start the post-game thread? The announcers are speculating that we might miss the semis for the Gold Cup.
You need at least some players on the field at all times capable of playmaking. The whole offense cannot be premised on get it wide and whack it in, particular when neither the crossing nor striking seem to be strengths.
They haven;t quit but the level of effort feels like neither people finding their feet in a system nor players really fighting for the coach. Take the hint USSF.
6/3/17 before last GC US 1 Ven 1 in terms of right track wrong track (and you know what followed that one)
Look on the bright side. We will at the very minimum make it to semis, with luck the final but not win, and it will be seen as a victory. Lucky for USSF we are in the second weakest Confederation. Belhalter will claim that everything is okay, most fans will be pissed and some other fans will say things like "it's laughable how other USMNT fans overreact for losing on semis or final" or say that "US fans are very toxic because they always expect to win".
No I don't think that at all. But that has nothing to do with the crap way we are playing. We are playing like crap all over the field and a different lineup wouldn't change that....at least not much.
