@nova_burke So you’re criticizing the dodgers for properly evaluating their own prospects? Since 2016, they’ve developed Bellinger into an all star and MVP and Buehler, Smith, Wrobleski and Pages into all stars. That doesn’t even include Muncy who they took off the scrap heap and fixed
@FootyCondor Tbf we could do a lot worse than Zubeldía. I don’t trust the FEF to actually get a quality coach. I feel like they just try to get a coach that fits in the budget so I’m not complete against Zubeldía.
“You had one job, and you blew it.”
USMNT legend Alexi Lalas believes Mauricio Pochettino should not get a contract extension after crashing out of the 2026 World Cup.
He was speaking on talkSPORT, when he was asked if Pochettino should stay or go.
“Go,” Lalas answered.
“I mean, it's not that I want him to leave. I just think that this cycle has run its course.
“When it comes to Mauricio Pochettino, you had one job. And it was the game against Belgium.
“You win that game, then you're in some rarefied air. And it's not gravy but let's be honest, you're playing against Spain. And you take your chances, you're back in an underdog type of role.
“So I think that they [U.S. Soccer] move on. I believe he's had a good time, but you had one job, and you blew it.
“And, you know, you live and die by that. Every coach understands that, every manager understands that, and certainly Mauricio Pochettino does.”
Pochettino’s $6 million a year contract with U.S Soccer expires this summer.
Should he stay or should he go, like Lalas said?
@FootyCondor Do people honestly think there’s an Ecuadorian coach good enough to take us to the next level? I don’t care what the nationality of the next coach is but what the FEF needs to do is not cheap out on the next coach. It was clear Beccacece was only hired because he fit our budget
#USMNT's Brenden Aaronson was 90 mins late to his own rehearsal dinner. He left on his wedding night at 2:30 am.
How the World Cup wedding came to be. And yes, he offered to move the date once he learned camp started earlier than expected.

@JPT5_ The problem is that Yeboah has been performing for club and country while Paez for the most part hasn’t lately. Yeboah has definitely earned his spot in the starting lineup. Also, I don’t think there’s any way Pervis starts at left back over Hincapie.
@StatessideFooty I’m not sure where you’re seeing that our talent suggests quarterfinal. For me it’s barely round of 16 talent. We do play better at home though so we’ll see.
@YoannJosep@MulattoOrfeu2nd At worst they’re even imo. But considering that Japan is better than the US and several of the top US players were not developed by the US then it stands to reason that Japan has probably been better at player development
