Iceland, screaming crazy announcer guy. You’re welcome.

I always like an underdog story lol.

May root for England as well just because I watch so much EPL that it's only right that I should root for those guys to do well.

I'm livid.

Well the best we can hope for is more epic iceland commentary moments from Russia. I hope Putin trolls trump about this.

Speaking of, how ridiculous does Aron Johannsson feel at this point?

 

[bksballer89]

How long until the obligatory Trump tweet?

7 AM EST at the latest

I'm livid.

as you should be. As we all should be.

This is horseshit.

What the fuck are we supposed to do until 2021(the next time to qualify for the WC)?

2019 Gold Cup.

What the fuck are we supposed to do until 2021(the next time to qualify for the WC)?

Keep our fingers crossed that we have someone running US Soccer that will get us in a position to actually qualify.

I'm liking what JK is doing with the young players more and more. I think it has greater potential than trying to get the same group of veterans to make that next step. These kids are hungrier, they are more willing to test themselves and play against the best in leagues other than the MLS, and we should do better in Russia. I'm already looking forward to it!

1st post of this thread. Amazing how much we fell off once all our guys decided to return to MLS.

Stop blaming MLS for this shitshow. Klinns won plenty of games with rosters that included players from MLS clubs.

This is about shitty coaching and those running US Soccer putting that choke job fossil, Arena, as our coach.

They've wrecked everything Klinns built in record time.

No question the MLS is a joke. Much better to go to Europe where real club soccer is played.

I actually thought firing Klinsman was the right call. But replacing him with Arena was even worse.

2019 Gold Cup.

That's the one that Mexico tries to win though. We should just focus on the 2021 gold cup.

 

[Lineman16]

F***, F*** and F***...Ok.. I'm done..I think? More ale!!

Why did we hire Bruce arenas?

We didn't. We hired Bruce Arena.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Glad I forgot this was on. What a fucking joke. We have one of the easiest qualifiers. We fired Jurgen to bring in a retread.

We won't see US soccer in a world cup until at least 2022. Fucking depressing.

Fuck the US Soccer federation. Fuck the MLS. Fuck Michael Bradley. Fuck Bruce Arenas.

Klinns had it coming with his chokes vs Mexico, but Arena was a shit choice and you knew the downward spiral would commence.

 

[ckhokie]

This will make us all feel better

 

[xpuctaqpGT]

мы не поедем в Россию

 

[ckhokie]

Arena was the laziest hire I can remember in ANY sport.

Klins had issues at times but shouldn't have even been fired, and then the federation picks out the most mediocre, known commodity they could find (like literally couldn't have picked anyone worse) and hands over the reigns

This is good for us.
So now next time we won’t have to ever look at Omar Gonzalez, Matt Besler, Tim Howard, all the old folks.
New young blood that needs to go play in EUROPE. You don’t get good playing in MLS for 80 grand a year.

I seem to recall everyone and their brother complaining that Jurgen was focusing too much on the Euro players and not enough on the domestic players. Now that we're focusing on the domestic players, everyone and their brother is bitching we're not focusing on the Euro players. Make up your fucking minds!! Jeez...
