Keep him or fire him, I genuinely think he's been a top 5 international manager since last World Cup.
Colombia were in the depths of hell when he took over.
From not qualifying in 2022 to "Colombia should make a QF" + Copa runners up.
The rise from then to now is staggering.
🚨 BREAKING
There are reports claiming that Argentinian President Javier Milei bet the country's ENTIRE GDP on Argentina winning their Round 16 match against Egypt.
Their GDP has now been doubled to $2.
So you think the American taxpayer should fund youth soccer? You should definitely run for office on that. What about piano lessons, SAT prep, dance, math tutoring, horse riding, fencing etc? Should taxpayer fund those? Also, our goverment financially supports many sports.
@Nicocantor1 it also doesn’t help seeing the comments like “real football starts soon” or reposting the goal from the gold medal game vs. Canada. As long as that’s the reaction from media/accounts with a large following then it’ll continue to be a casual’s event with no accountability.
USMNT players need to feel the wrath of the media and fans after this pathetic performance. Unworthy of a World Cup stage.
This is not the time for moral victories. This is not the time for kumbaya. This is not the time to celebrate how this team brought people together.
If you applaud this mediocrity, you only condone mediocrity. Call them out, from the president of the federation to the goalkeeper. And EVERYONE in this team.
Especially the poster boy of this group: Christian Pulisic. He never asked to be the face of it all so why are we making him be that? He doesn’t lead. It doesn’t look like he wants to. And then chronically injured. You can’t be Captain America if you can’t carry the weight of the shield.
And he’s not the only one, by the way. You can point to a lot of the guys yesterday who weren’t up to the task. Chose whoever. Pulisic just happened to be the face of it all.
Every World Cup elimination we sit with our head in our hands asking questions about pay-to-play, what if our best athletes, did we take the right players, when are we going to make it?
This is the main reason we’re being held back. It’s nothing you don’t know:
Football in the US is institutionalized and corporatized. It’s a business first and then comes soccer. ACROSS the board. From US Soccer who prices out fans for ugly friendlies. To MLS’s closed system that rewards mediocrity. To clubs and academies that make it difficult for families to have their kids play soccer.
It’s all wrong. It was great in 1994 when we needed something to get up and running. But now we’re on the wrong trajectory. And our complacency will never redirect course.
Be disappointed, be angry. Call them out. Don’t reward this. You shouldn’t be feeling anything else. If not, we’ll never progress.
This USA team is a James Franklin team.
Looked great against opponents ranked in the 20-40s. Garnered a bunch of hype.
Now playing a top-10 team and are actively shitting themselves on the field.
Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
