Not sure I posted this before or not, but I was clearing some old backlog “to read” articles and came on this one, given our talk on the captain, hits close to the mark right now:

Pulisic: 'Crazy' to say USMNT players behind Berhalter's return

 https://prosoccerwire.usatoday.com/story/sports/usmnt/2024/12/19/pulisic-crazy-usmnt-players-behind-berhalter-return/77086779007/#

it’s from December. It quotes his GQ interview, when he said


For the captain, not the leadership I expect. Either he doesn’t get what weight the players’ words carry or he’s sluffing off responsibility “that was someone else’s decision” when his sway influenced a bad decision. Neither of those are great for the guy with the arm band. IMHO.

I would not have cum on that article, but I’m not judging.

Christ - the score was 7-0 before Chicago scored 2 garbage time goals.

But if we are looking from our perspective, we had just put on some really great performances at the World Cup and thought we had really grown as a team.

great performances?

at the world cup?

we only have 36 years of modern era nats

knowing our nation's world cup history takes about 2 hours

none of the performances in qatar are in our top 10 all time

Nice updates but fucking hell we need a lot of these guys to start doing it for country same as they do for their clubs.

FYI.  US will play a Gold Cup game in Austin on June 19th and Dallas on June 22nd.

I will likely be attending the bier festival in Nuremberg one of those days before or after visiting friends in Stuttgart. 

I am more interested in El Torneo EURO Femenino that is taking place in Switzerland in July.

I wonder how many times in MLS history a team has been up 7-0

The former - sweet.  The latter - uh, have fun with that I guess.

I would enjoy going to a game (the latter) and experience the atmosphere outside the stadium before/after the game, but I have yet to make plans to go into Switzerland.

I do feel that the pregame will be better for any game there than most games at Jerry World, that features a stadium in the middle of parking lots in all directions.

True dat.  We're leaving for Denver the next day, so I doubt I'll be able to attend.  And, as a former high school girls soccer coach, I meant no disrespect to the ladies.

I'll be at the Dallas one. Bringing the 7-year old to his first USMNT match. Hopefully we have the full squad. 

Pulisic goal and assist today (yesterday?) for 29 goal contributions on the season. 

Milan has had a down year but they play for the Italian cup on Wednesday.

Luna with a great strike yesterday. 

 

 

You say that, but then you go to the ESPN Line Up page for that game and click on Diego Luna’s name only to find out that this Diego Luna is a RUSSIAN BODY DOUBLE!

This who Diego Luna thing is just another one of Putin’s assets to bring down America!

why is it so hard for them to make a good looking usmnt kit? we’re going to be playing in pajamas.

Those are the second kit.

What's interesting - along with that we get the Women's #1 kit, but no word if that is the #1 kit for the men.

I still don't understand why they are fighting bringing back the Waldo so much.

The predominantly white doesn't bug me because I liked the Centennial so much. But the Waldo was damn iconic and looked so damn good and unique. It's right there for the taking.

The kits are terrible and we're going to lose every game we play in them.

They might be iconic, but I thought they looked like ass.

Still, it shouldn't be this fucking hard to get good clean kits using red, white and blue.

both stupid

no imagination

in proper news, the fed just announced our september international window games

You cannot host in those. Jesus.

These aren’t the World Cup uniforms  those will drop at the end of the year. These are just the gold cup and friendlies jerseys for 2025.

It is.

I'm not sure I've ever seen him play a good full 90' with the US but Europe has always loved him. 

Guessing that's a "not for sale" price tag.

Luc de Jong, who Pepi outplayed from the bench up until his knee injury, somehow was named to the Eredivisie 1st Team squad.

Really?

…okay…

Says a lot about that league.

 

this is great news re: tillman

9 of 10 attacking nats that make the prem don't feature, disappear or get relegated where their form isn't relevant to full international valuation

the list of those that made a sustained impact is short:

dempsey

mcbride

pulisic

that's it

wegerle had 300+ 1st division / prem appearances with 90+ goals but was born and raised in south africa and came to the us to play college soccer before he became the rowdies' first pick in the last nasl draft - he absolutely does not count as his heritage made him "acceptable" and "playable" in england

john harkes was a chalk nats starter in the 90s; he had some division 1 success....  his prem career: 43 appearances, 2 goals, 3 teams, over 7 years - harkes' claim to fame was as the 3rd us player to play at wembley

lewis - another scratch nat for 6 or 7 years - 2 years at fulham with 2 goals

moore and reyna both had brief flashes in the prem....  very brief

the prem is not a place nats break through and find world-cup form - dempsey, mcbride and pulisic were all 'proven' before they moved to the prem

would love for tillman to stay at psv

Seems like this would’ve been a good chance to play together before you know, hosting the World Cup.  

Count me as one that has the alarm bells ringing with Poch at this point. This dude does not seem to understand the timeline he's on.  You can heavily rotate the squad in the group stage in the Gold Cup so the players avoid getting run down.

He doesn't have full control here. 

McKennie, Weah and Reyna aren't in because of their clubs and the stupid Club World Cup.

Pulisic wants a break and asked to be out this summer. We complain about injuries, this is him getting right.

 

not ideal but just as well - at this point 35 years in to the modern era and with 10 years of our first choice players on european teams we learn very little about the top of the roster against concacaf opposition

i would have liked to have seen pepi recover in time for this tournament but obviously not happening

i don't know fuckall about freese and schulte - any comments? - would like to see what they have but they will not be tested in group

the key matches are the international window friendlies against japan and korea

Brian White is as spare as they come. Not sure why he keeps getting callups. I'm interested to see Berhalter. He's had a very good season in MLS.
