Why is USA practice jersey the only one with a big ugly sponsor on the front?

I'd bet the others do as well in their final iteration. Most of those pictures are from the Nike/adidas releases of the other nation's gear. For whatever reason the VW branding is already on the US shirt.

Add Japan to the list. Portugal's is horrendous as is ours. The USA's looks like a 4 year old hippie kid designed it.

Apologies if this was posted already but I didn't see it. Watke is always solid for me.

That would've been a lot funnier yesterday.

Thanks for sharing.

Since I'm not buying one of the Nike abortions this year, I rolled the dice for $20 on a dhgate replica of the '94 Denim Kit. I'll let y'all know how it turns out.

Twitter seems pretty unimpressed with the managerial decision making of berhalter. Is this world cup going to be pretty disappointing?

I mean we're not going to win it…

Seriously though I expect us to get out of group. That's about it. If our big names all start clicking together, we might win a knockout game or two.

On the bright side England looked absolutely terrible today and the English want Southgate gone as much as we want Berhalter out.

Iran are gonna win this group aren't they

Only if you let it. I'm going to enjoy watching all the different teams compete with various styles of play…and I'll watch us play in our 3 games. That's all this side is going to get.

I'll be content with getting out of group. On paper that should be pretty easy, i would think.

The English who want Southgate gone are similar to the Americans who hate Berhalter; they're both ignoring the historically excellent results they've put up when it matters.

Southgate, especially, has gotten their squad to the semis of a World Cup and the finals of a Euro. That's elite performance. Tournaments are wacky, tiny sample size things, and these are single elimination after the group stage. The best team usually doesn't win. One bad day and you're done.

I predict this is Southgate's last tournament leading England… unless they win the whole thing anyway.

I saw a bunch of Lalas '94 kits on there. What number did you get?

I got Lalas, but the one I ordered from had a bunch of players of that era ready to go, or would do custom.

I would be extremely happy about being wrong in predicting we only get 3-4 games this WC.

England looked listless yesterday. We might get out of our group. We might even get a lucky break for the round of 16. But there's no way we can luck our way past that.

Teams can click unexpectedly in tournaments (and they can also fall completely apart). If Musa, Reyna, CP, a forward yet to be named, Adams (basically our midfield and attacking players) all gel and start scoring goals in bunches, I think we could get to the semifinals.

I know that's a huge stretch from what we saw yesterday, but the potential is there. I think our defense is good enough to hold their own and keep us in games, but mustering a dangerous attack is something we're lacking currently but could emerge on short notice.

Problem I have is that I deluded myself into thinking we would actually see that (or the makings of it) in these warm up matches. I guess you never really know.

Oh, I'm 100% setting myself up for disappointment (again). That's my MO for sports though.

I'm completely fine eating crow if need be, that's what happens sometimes when making predictions, but this coach and squad gives me little to look forward to.
Bryan98
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Funny you say it like that. This squad is obviously all about looking forward to 2026, when we'll be playing at home. And they're doing way better than our more veteran squad that failed to qualify for 2018.

I absolutely believe they could make some noise this year, but 2026 is definitely part of the plan.
OregonAggie

When I'm saying "looking forward" I mean the World Cup in 2 months. This roster is young, has a coach that either looks great or like a complete idiot, and also no one worth a damn at CB.

2026 isn't even in my mind, which sure we project to have talent and experience at that point. We couldn't keep Japan's offense under wraps…good luck against a talented England team and a Gareth Bale led Welsh team. Hell Iran isn't a sure win for us.

I think it's panic time right now and I'm unsure how anyone can look at this current squad and think they'll do well in this World Cup.
Bryan98

I knew what you meant, that's why it was "funny" you phrased it like that; otherwise it would have just been straightforward.

I don't think one friendly means anything. Don't let them get you too high or too low. This group has done great when it matters. I'm bullish on the actual tournament.

Mexico won a pretty boring match vs Peru 1-0 last night in California. Chucky scored off a corner late in the game.
