If they win, it's an upset. If US beats any of the top soccer nations in the Americas it's an upset. They are the underdog... and they will be an underdog, second class soccer nation for a long time to come.

What a punk Dempsey is. Elbow he threw against CR was one of the cheapest shots I've seen. And it wasn't his first. Awful coach and scout. Embarrassing players.
Go Honduras!

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.
Wow...
what if they all moved to central Mass?
Lots of unicorns hiding in the forests of Quabbin...

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt would help some but the primary issue would remain that soccer is still not a top tier sport in the USA. BTW, the European National team players are all on some pro team and have plenty of $$$ and wherewithal to join the National team camp. Most of the best USA players are playing in Europe and need to cross the pond with a lot of time zones.
-18 are in MLS
- 2 play in Mexico
- 6 play in Europe

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf this includes Rheam and Cameron, Europe can keep them.
Cameron is clearly a starter. His play was impacted by Ream and the midfielders pushing to far up and not proving cover for back line. I don't worry about Cameron. They do need to replace Ream

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSince MLS is the place for older has beens and those generally not good enough to play internationally, that makes a great deal of sense.
However, a lot of the aging USMNT players are now playing in the MLS (Howard, Bradley, Dempsey, Beasley, Wondo, and Rimando)
There's a lot of younger MLS talent too. Morris, Arriola, Hedges, Acosta, Roldan
