Isn't that the end all to be all?
Leagues don't produce players, they're developed from a very young age over the globe.
We need more Clint Dempsey's.

Just as telling as a lack of young talent, or maybe even more so, is a shortage of quality in the coaching ranks.
No young keepers?
Same is true in England, save a few, where wash, rinse, repeat seems to be the mantra
(Allardyce, Pardew, Hughes, etc...)
And most important, many athletes in our country do not feel the need or pride to wear the uniform.
Sad state...

Add Altidore, Johnson or fill in the blanks for the rest of them...

Dempsey as a super-sub makes perfect sense. He has elite skill. However, as long as there is a coach that believes Altidore is the best option we have up top the US will go nowhere. Pulisic was awful. By far the worst I've seen him play. We took far too many touches in the box. Should have had several goals but chose bad options. Honduras should be an easy win for any team going to the World Cup. If we don't beat them we certainly don't deserve anything more than what we get.

Pulisic has ability, but cmon. He is not going to do it alone and certainly is not close to the level the hype train would have you believe. CR keyed on him and you saw the difference between playing for Dortmund with multiple threats to playing for the US with none.

That's why they are in the qualifiers right ?
You think the US deserves to beat Honduras ? So much misguidance . US is an economic and military superpower . It's the equivalent of a tiny third world country when it comes to soccer . I think we as Americans need to have more realistic expectations.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt I see realistic for the USA to make the World Cup in the easy North American qualifier then not do well in the big dance. We have done that for a long time. It is evident from the World Cup that small countries like Uruguay and Netherlands have done well. It is difficult to collect and train players from vast countries like the USA, Russia, and China. Brazil can manage because the majority of its talent is from the southern coast. So this time several of our small neighbors might just knock us out. Good for them! We have never been way better than them anyway.

"American troops landed in Honduras in 1903, 1907, 1911, 1912, 1919, 1924 and 1925. In 1904 the writer O. Henry coined the term "Banana republic" to describe Honduras."
