No World Cup

[Dim Bulb]

I think it was unfair that we had to play Trinidad and Tobago. Maybe if we only had to play one of them, we might've won.

Sickening. Unfuckingbelievable. Sickening again.

Blow it up. Chunk blowing losers.

Trinidad and Tobago? That's the equivalent of Canada losing to Norway in hockey. This team has been competitive for long time, maybe higher up the FIFA rankings than it should have been, but a good side nonetheless.

That's about as chokey a choke as some chokers can choke.

[Dim Bulb]

There is no parallel

That's about as chokey a choke as some chokers can choke.

Even the Flyers comeback/choke last night seems like a resounding victory compared to this shit.

The US Soccer federation spent a billion dollars on development over the last ten years. And we are behind Honduras and Panama. These countries didn't spend a billion dollars on anything in their country in the last ten years. Boy do we know how to waste money.

There isn't a serious soccer playing country in the world where Gulati and Arena would have jobs this morning. If they hadn't resigned in disgrace last night they'd have been fired. But we don't do things that way in America.

It's like Arsenal. At any other big club in Europe Wenger would have been shitcanned years ago but Arsenal is owned by an American who couldn't care less.

[McCarthy12]

Absolute embarrassment. We have states larger than most countries we play against. I guess if you can find 11 kids kicking cans in the street that would kill for an opportunity to play in the World Cup, that will always beat 11 soft, heartless turds.

[DEERSPINE GUY]

FUTBORE.

Tear it down from top to bottom...

what a waste! Pulisic in his prime will be a spectator for WC...at least U 17 and U 20 teams have fared well...costs too much to play in this country...thoroughly embarassing

[slag]

Norway? ... no way ... that's the equivalent of Canada losing to Zimbab-way.

[McCarthy12]

costs too much to play in this country.

This. A co-worker's daughter plays on an elite club team. The cost associated with it is insane. I couldn't believe it. A lot of people simply can't afford it. It's just not an option. We're slashing the talent pool in sport that requires only a ball to play. That's crazy.

[Overbrook]

What a shame. The US missing out......

on the quintessential display of jingoism in the universe.

This has got to make even Kelly Green sad.

[Loki]

This

Top to bottom USMT program needs a good sweeping.

[AthensEagle]

I'm putting my full fan support on Iceland. Fotbolta!

[JB]

I have coached soccer at pretty much every level and continue to do so...

this is true for the clubs and the "pay for play" mentality. For me to get my coaching license costs close to $2500. No one in the world does this...time for a total rethink on this whole mess
