U.S. National Team Part VII

[McDonald19]

Well now they can clean house.

Build the program around Pulisic and other young players.

Should be the last USA game for Bradley, Dempsey, Howard.

 

[Live in the Now]

I didn't want to say anything because I respect him greatly, but Howard looked fat and out of shape.

I mean, he is 38.

Just garbage all around.

Gulati needs to be gone. You want to fire Jurgen, fine. You replace him with Arena? That's such a horrendous move it makes Joe Girardi's non challenge look smart in comparison.

Bradley- Done
Howard- Done
Dempsey- Done

BRINGS IN BENNY FEILHABER AS YOUR LAST SUB. WHAT IS THAT.

Doesn't bring in Fabian Johnson? lol. Doesn't start Cameron? lol.

We are not a country that can win without it's best players on the field. Just garbage.

We have 1 legitimate good player.

 

[Cody Webster]

Listening to Bruce is down right comical

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Fire everybody!

Johnson and Cameron were being punished for not playing in the MLS

 

[nyrleetch]

Not doubting that.

This team still should have easily made the WC. You can't start B/C team players. Bruce Arena was garbage from the start.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Johnson is in horrible form.

 

[Chimaera]

Fire Gulati. He should’ve been gone ages ago.

 

[njdevsfn95]

Please let something good come from this embarrassment.

 

[Cassano]

Sucks that Green and Zelalem busted hard. They should've been good enough if you asked this last world cup.

 

[Live in the Now]

I mean, he is 38.

Buffon is 39 and I've never heard anyone call him fat.

If you are fat, you shouldn't be playing for us.

 

[GKJ]

Can't imagine a fate more deserved than this for everybody involved in this program. They even had to recycle the manager.

 

[Chimaera]

Funny part is it will probably be Ramos or someone else running the show and more of the same.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Buffon is 39 and I've never heard anyone call him fat.

If you are fat, you shouldn't be playing for us.

Buffon is also one of the greatest keepers of all time...

And he's not fat, he's just slowed down and not as sharp. He's also not in as good of shape because of his age.

 

[DoyleG]

Guys...

Step away from the ledge.

 

[njdevsfn95]

Just curious: anyone have a picture of the ball over the line for Panama?

 

[Live in the Now]

Buffon is also one of the greatest keepers of all time...

And? Howard is still fat. There's lots of older keepers who aren't, I just picked an obvious example. Any country should not have fat players playing for it, I don't care what they've done before. Considering one of the goals was from 40 yards I think this is a pertinent criticism.

 

[John Price]

Imagine your favorite team getting eliminated in the NHL playoffs in a hard fought game. And then this elimination magnifies that pain by one billion. Because this only happens every four years.

This is just grueling inconsolable pain. One could argue the World Cup watch parties were some of the best parts of watching the USMNT live. If you ever go to one of those things and see thousands of people packed into a park or a bar then you will understand the greatness, and the lack of that in 2018 is a huge dagger.

Just saying he's way past his prime and this should be expected from most goalies at his age. It's ridiculous to think he'd still be high quality.

 

[Chimaera]

Bruce went with his guys because he’s out of touch.

The clowns we have still on the roster are sad. They’re better off playing the u20 team than some of these dinosaurs.
