  1. The MLS coach point above is so salient. In the past, it made some sense since most of the player pool was MLS based. But now, it's near 100% top 5 Euro league based and we need a manager that understands how Italy differs from England from France and how to meld all that together into a cohesive strategy.
  2. There seems to be a debate around this that @Captain Ron @Hagbard Celine were having - the net of it being that it doesn't seem clear if that is really the case or not. Depends on if the CBA extends to coaches or is just for the players. And regardless, coaches salary really has dick all to do with it. You can get a perfectly good national team coach for pretty damn cheap (just look at Austria, Slovenia, Slovakia, etc...). I've said it before, but as far as coaching jobs go, national team manager is about is as easy as it gets. The hard part is putting your ego aside and putting the players first. Which GGG is abysmal at.
  3. Would have no problems with BJ. But didn't he just take another job? Not that that is a show stopper but certainly a significant hurdle.
  4. That Jermaine Jones curler from outside the box... Chills even today.
  5. The Wall of Brooks! Remember that shit? Before GGG ran him off. Ugh.
  6. Him and Danny Ric. Aussies, man. Must be something in the water. Other than the sting rays though... RIP Steve.
  7. Emma Hayes.
  8. I think Turner is great, perhaps elite, at shot stopping. He lacks in distribution, particularly with his feet. But also agree, he's not our biggest issue by a long shot. I'm just perplexed that, compared to Keller and Howard's teams, GK is the one position we've taken a step back in other than HC.
  9. Player offers you his hand, you shake the players hand. If you think you're above that, you shouldn't be officiating. That goes for all sports.
  10. Why does he have three G's in his name? Is it some Gaelic version of Greg or something? Apologies to any of the Gaelic folks on surly.
  11. I agree on all points. It's just... Sad? That we went from two world class keepers to Matt Turner.
  12. A lot of bitching about GGG (from me, I know) but fuck, what happened to our goalie pipeline? Keller to Howard to Steffen V1 to Steffen Vshit to a guy that kicks a ball (ya know, a key skill in soccer) about as well as a skinny gorilla can.... And next up is a guy that is better at dodge ball than stop the ball.
  13. He's a damn gf kicking narcissist. Reyna's were THIS close to saving all of us.
  14. I would take Bradley over this clown 100x over. Arena.... Meh.... Did I?
  15. And now your ridiculous stance all makes sense.
  16. I think "his" results been severely hamstrung by his coach. What the fuck do billboards have to do with this?
  17. Oh that's the mother fucker. Raging all over again now.
  18. He's a fucking narcissist.
  19. Woah, just noticed the lead ref didn't shake CPs hand. Not entirely sure CP offered but he definitely shook the hands of the refs on either side.
  20. I just hope this shit is players being PC in public given the turmoil from the Reyna affair.
  21. Drink less? Don't know how to help you.
  22. He led our team to a loss at T&T???? He was 18 fucking years old! That loss was on the old guard whose dick you are sucking. Pulisic has had a shit international career if all the team results are on him. He's also had the back half of klinsmann and 100% of GGG.
  23. We absolutely have the players. These aren't scrub club teams these guys play for. Wake the fuck up people. The players are there.
  24. Compared to Spain? Fine. But compared to ALL US teams of the past, ya we do. By a HUGE margin. This is our generational team. Have not had one better.
  25. Then watch the fucking game?
