keep up the good work guys!!!

You value the FIFA rankings? Wow. I mean, I'm hard on this team when their underperforming, but I would never use the FIFA rankings in an attempt to validate my argument. Do you value the ESPN power rankings too?

Using FIFA rankings to make your point shows just how ignorant you actually are. Swing and a miss!

The joke is on you for thinking fifa rankings mean anything

Jerseys are hideous

Here we go.

Down 1-0

 

[bksballer89]

2-0

 

[lasportzphan]

Honestly, I feel bad for the guys that genuinely believe the US is a competitive national team. Trailing Guatemala 2-0 in the first 17 minutes is nearing a new low.

Something is amiss in the program right now. A shame this team is regressing.... Qualifying is going to be an adventure.

Here we go.

Down 1-0

And that corner given up was just pathetic on Howard and the back lines behalf. Never should have lost possession.

 

[lasportzphan]

And the team has no composure right now. Sheesh.

Howard is not good anymore. Should have retired after 2014

Hard to disagree after his Everton benching and watching him give up possession like that.

lol.

The new crest is so lazy.

New kits are crap. Not sure how Nike just can't seem to get it right. We haven't had exciting kits in a long time.

The uniforms are the least of our concerns.

It's a new talking point.

We know this team sucks, we know the back line sucks, we know every game looks like the first time a lot of these guys are playing together.

We're down 2-0 to Guatemala.

Not sure what more there is to say about the on-field product.

Fair enough. Some will spin this loss, can't wait for that narrative.

No way you can spin this.

Halfway through this stage of qualifying we are currently not qualifying for the next round.

Trinidad leads with 7 points, Guatemala is 2nd with 6, and were in 3rd with 4 points.

If they draw Guatemala on Tuesday, this could get ugly and Klinsman may be fired.

 

[bksballer89]

We should still be able to get out of this stage though. We play Guatemala at home on Tuesday which should be 3, ST. Vincent (who is beyond awful) away from home, and finish with Trinidad at home. Honestly there's no reason why we should not come away with 7 points at minimum from the remaining 3 games.

11 points should be good enough to get us out of this group stage.
