Beautiful opening message! I can't believe they opened with a prayer. Love it.

Go USA!

Argentina should beat Canada. I hope they do.

Oui? Right? That's what you mumble up there to acknowledge? Or some shit

Sounds like you’re living in the past. KU football is one of the favorites to win the B12 this year and get into the playoff. MU basketball is coming off a season of historic futility by going 0-18 in conference.

****ing brutal.

I'm still mad at myself for not taking Uruguay at like +195-200. It was free money and I knew it.

We're paying $2.3 mil per for this coach.

****ing money grabbers as always messing with sports. The league is more interested in making money on mls than building the best possible us national team which is what the entire country wants way more than a great local team.

With all the coaching talent in the world they chose a ****ing mls coach. And even after a 14 month review, pissing off his star players, even with controversy they still extend the guy. Good thing his brothers on the board. I mean, seriously are you ****ing kidding me.

But most of all stop with this horse shit pay to play nonsense. You know why third world countries have a shot? Because all you need is a ball and a field. You don’t need expensive catchers masks or hockey gear. And yet we give favoritism to the rich people who can afford the best travel leagues and academy.

US soccer will never be where our best athletes come from. But we are an enormous country with the best athletes in the world. There’s simply no excuse to struggle like this

This is on the players, too. But damned i'm a fan of Pulisic. He's fantastic, too bad we don't have much else around him. This was after the game where he told Ortega (the ref) to go celebrate with Uruguay, then Ortega refused to shake his hand after

I put both videos together uninterrupted: Pulisic appears to be gesturing for the referee to go celebrate with Uruguay which may help explain his refusal to shake hands pic.twitter.com/otrmIlhVOZ

Yeah, the ref was awful, but even if he was fair I can't see the US coming out of this with anything more than a 0-0 draw, which would have eliminated them anyway

Oh I agree. This squad needs some serious infusion of talent on the pitch and off to be anything worthy of the World Cup tournament. They just are not good.

He's overrated by American fans but he's not bad or anything...really needs to grow up though, really immature and when things don't go his way he acts like a baby and it affects his game.

Also he's one of the big reasons Berhalter was hired and then came back so I need him to take a backseat...

If there was a real coach in charge of the team this never happens.

You think you are being clever but in soccer they are not called rules. They call them laws of the game.

And these assholes decided to run this like a nepo shit show. Simply unbelievable.

USMNT peaked in 2002. There is no pride in a team that really isn't competitive on the world stage and hasn't been for over 2 decades.
