Let’s make U.S. Soccer a true powerhouse. But to do that, we need change. We’ve already seen that the people in charge have not been able to take us to the next level.
We produce talented young players year after year. The talent is there. Even with ok Coaching.
The federation needs to have real conversations with MLS. We need coaches leading our youth national teams who truly understand the game and can pass on their knowledge and quality. We need people in leadership positions because they’re the best for the job,not because they’re family members, longtime friends, or well connected. Merit and quality have to come first.
I won’t name names, but I wish I could. I know many former players from different generations who are fed up with the way things are too.
I wasn’t born in this country, but I love the United States just as much as I love Germany. That’s why I’m willing to speak up for change. I was raised to be honest and to stand up for what I believe is right.
I’ve been watching this since we failed to qualify for the World Cup in Russia. Back then, we were told things would change and that we’d get to the next level. But we haven’t.
We’re still in the same place. Just look at the progress Canada has made. When I played, they were far behind us. Now they’re competing with us and have closed the gap.
It’s time for real change.
Fourteenth and final World Cup commentary of this tournament for me and @landondonovan on Saturday in Kansas City…. Argentina and Messi in their adopted city against Switzerland , aiming for a first ever semi. Very much enjoyed another trip to USA and thanks for watching.
You believed. You filled stadiums. You brought the game into homes and communities across the country.
Most of all, you showed everyone what this crest means. Thank you.
I was born in Germany, I grew up in Spain, I’ve lived in the US for 15 years, and I’ve been a US citizen for about a year.
I never really understood patriotism until I became American.
Usually, when people move to other countries they are expats. A German in Spain for example. When people move to America they become American.
It’s the greatest country on earth and an experiment worth fighting for.
Happy 4th of July. 🎆
🚨#BREAKING: A German soccer fan who flew to the USA but was fearful about coming because of news about criminals and people being mean...
...breaks down into TEARS, live on air saying he has FALLEN IN LOVE with America after a random man named "Bob" in Boston gave him a ride home after he was stuck at a game with no way back to his hotel
The German soccer fan's name is Sebastian, he said after meeting Bob, he extended his entire trip.
He said leaving America will hurt worse than watching Germany get knocked out of the World Cup.
"I fall in love with America. I'm sorry, it's just so emotional. Americans are not rude... if we are together, we can achieve great things."
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hope. 🙏💙🕊
We've been back in Scotland for a few days.
On the flight home, what struck me was just how welcoming Americans are. I had reservations before going because of Trump, ICE, Palestine, etc. But what we found was that it didn't matter whether black/white, left/right, rich/poor, all the Americans we met were extremely hospitable & welcoming. (Thank you!🙏)
I think if we could get more common people talking with common people, & get the politicians out of the way, we would have a much better world.
America, the football results didn't go our way, but to paraphrase Casablanca, "We will always have Boston." 😘
