And....back to topics that actually pertain to USMNT....


I am starting to get bad vibes with the time its taking on Pochettino. Hope they get it wrapped up today and he can come out and wave to fanes at game tonight. This has taken waaaay too long.

So we had no shot at a hire this big without the help of a gazillionaire hedge fund guy? What a world!

USSF is a non-profit, so this is just like every big-name college coach.

The surprising part is that it took them this long to realize they should emulate college athletics and build up a war chest of donations to help with coaching hires. Hopefully this model continues in the future and we're never stuck with a cheap nepotistic option again.

Not great penalty but he had the keeper guessing wrong. I'll take it!

Well the Ags may lose but if I die today I'll be happy with a good match for my adopted son.

Proof that US Soccer is advancing.



Stereotype of big only big strong Americans advancing Sullivan and Pulisic are proof this is not true.

Looks pretty big…for a 14 year old.

Or maybe Messi is pretty small for a 37 year old.

I'm probably wrong, but I read Rudy's post as a veiled joke about Messi's height instead of a genuine comment about Cavan's.

Id never made a short joke.

My point is that he's not bigger than taller, stronger than his peers. 5'7" is not tall for a 14 year old. It's about average. He'll end up under 6'.

That dude doesn't look 14 to me. He might be 5'7" but, he sure doesn't look 14.

I also look up 5'7" and that's close the the 32nd percentile for 14 year olds in the usa.

Comments removed. Lord knows I've had plenty of worse takes on here, and I'd bet a coke I've got a few more in me, so stay tuned.

Again, missing the point.

He's not bigger stronger faster than everyone else his age.

Well, he's taller than 60% of kids his age.

I'd wager he's bigger and stronger as well, simply because you don't see 14 year olds being able to hang physically with grown ass men.

I don't know why it matters. The idea that we wouldn't be a better soccer nation if our most gifted athletes chose soccer over football or basketball is pretty sound.

Did you see that video of Greisman covering an NFL WR and running routes?

He could play football.

No, i haven't seen it.

But, that just helps verify my point.

I'm simply saying that in a nation like France, their best athletes tend to play soccer.

their best athletes can play with our best athletes in athletic competitions and vice versa. However, our best athletes tend to choose football or basketball first, and train a those from youth. If those same top .01% of the worlds best athletes instead chose soccer and trained at it from youth onward, it stands to reason we might be a better soccer program. This isn't a novel or particularly unique point of view.

That said, because he could "cover" a professional wr doesn't mean he could play in the NFL. There's lots of people who have covered NFL receivers who didn't make it to the NFL.

*Just reread you said football and not the NFL. Yes, I'd wager most professional soccer players could play football

He had the athleticism and could've certainly played slot in the NFL. Think Cole Beasley or Danny Amendola etc.

And I'm not arguing with you.

My whole point is that for years Americans have just promoted the kids that were bigger stronger faster and other kids got left out. To me, he doesn't fit the definition of bigger stronger faster.

not watching that match, but it looks like Tillman started for PSV (Pepi on bench) and Weston for Juve (Weah on bench).
