USA fooled us with the opening game and even group games. Disappointing to have all this talent and still be so far off. But at the end of the day… finally agree with @AlexiLalas I’m tired of “moral” victories. It’s time to start winning and competing in these types of games
England didn’t play good last night… @JPickford1 had a world class game in the goal. Unbelievable saves and just under it the entire game. Mexico scores 4-5 if he’s not in net
Gregg Berhalter says the U.S. isn't setting up Christian Pulisic well enough for success 😬
"I don't think there was enough intention to get Christian the ball in those (wide) positions."

MLS NEXT: 135 clubs, 14,000 players. About 30 are actual MLS academies. The other 105 are private clubs charging $3,000-plus a season for a roster spot inside an MLS-branded league. A few dozen Homegrown contracts get signed each year. The other 13,000 kids get a logo on the jersey and an invoice in the inbox. The league is the marketing layer. Development is still parent-paid.
I asked Doc Rivers how much longer he envisions coaching as he prepares to enter the Hall of Fame. He replied, “I won’t answer that, but I have grandkids that I want to see. I’ll put it that way. I’ll let you figure it out from there. I have seven grandkids now and they’re all eight years and under, and it kills me every time I miss grandparents day with each one of them in school. It’s probably time to go see them more, so I’ll let you figure out the rest.”
This is what the University of Houston president and many in academics emphasized years ago when I was there.
Athletic success increases prestige. It increases your reach, interest, and name recognition.
Often, leading to better students and a boost in alumni donations.
@TheColbyD@SunBelt Honestly this is the and the WCC have the best setup. The team who won all year long should have an advantage. If you could win all year you don’t deserve to have the same opportunity
