Canning Jurgen for this was a mistake

Jurgen wasn't great tactically. He had a nasty habit of constantly changing grouping and formations. But his vision for the program was 100% on point. But he got push back from a bunch of people that have a financial stake in MLS and they fought him on every step. Those people are the biggest reason why this team sucks as bad as it does

I'm not a huge soccer guy, but I do follow during WC time. My question for you guys is why did USA fire Klinsmann in the first place for this guy who can't even beat Costa Rica and now probably loses to Honduras? I mean really? That country is tiny and a much smaller talent pool than what we have, no?

We beat this team 6-0 in March....Can't even get a quality chance on goal tonight. This team will be out of the WC and in 5th place with 2 games left.

No sense of urgency. These guys don't care if they miss the WC.

Sloppy but this result keeps us in 3rd for now, 4th at worst. Arenas OUT

Unreal how far backwards we have gone over the past 5-6 years. We didn't deserve that point, but thankfully Honduras fell asleep for a minute and allowed us to tie it up.

Omar's defense was shocking. I don't know what he was doing on the Honduras scored. It looks like he just let the ball so right by him, and instead of sticking out his foot, just let it go to the waiting attacker.

Minor league mistakes, but taking those 2 points away from Honduras is vital considering who they finish off with (Costa Rica and Mexico) and who we finish off with (Panama and T&T).

Seems to coincide with our best American born players choosing MLS over Europe.

I don't know why anyone would think playing in the MLS is better for their career than playing somewhere in Europe. Freaking hilarious

It's pathetic. I don't know if its convenient? Salary that good?
Cameron plays at Southampton and it seems like he still sucks ass.

True but I would prefer to play in England, Germany, Italy, or Spain and go up against some of the top players instead of that trash known as the MLS.

Yes I'm in agreement with you. We won't be shot until our guys go to Europe. Yedlin is at Newcastle? Brooks is i Germany I thought, Chelsea signed Miazga then quickly loaned him out to Germany. For us to compete our guys must play top completion, the speed and physicality that can not be matched. And yeah if you were single?!?! Jesus dude, Italian, Germany or English chicks? You'd be retard to go okay for fucking D.C. United or some dumb shit. Go play in the big stadiums with all the people's!

Sloppy is a understatement. Seems like it was Guzan launching it to other end and praying they get a lucky bounce ... which in some way they did. I got home from work at halftime and saw the 2nd half and they didn't generate one decent scoring chance until the Dempsey free kick near the end. Not much desparation. Served Honduras right for some of their delay tactics USA got the equalizer. Honduras goalie has the ball, looks fine, then sits down and needs medical attention around the 70 minute mark with a phantom leg injury. Should have yellow carded him.

a lot of our guys wouldn't get first team playing time in Europe. I think a lot of them play in MLS is because they get more minutes here. Plus the women in US are better looking and put out more.

It is pretty simple now. Beat Panama and we basically would guarantee at least a 4th place birth. I believe GD is the first tiebreaker so assuming Honduras lose to Costa Rica which they should since that is a road game then they would need a miracle in the final game of WCQ in order to pass us. So yeah beat Panama to at least guarantee a top 4 finish then worry about T&T afterwards

I'm not even joking when I say the US must fire Bruce before the WC if we make it. No way in hell can they bring this guy to Russia next June unless the goal is to bow out in group stage without earning a point
