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.

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

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.

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

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.

I believe using mom’s maiden names for Mother’s Day.

Those are the second kit.

https://www.footyheadlines.com/2025/04/usa-2025-women-home-kit.html

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.

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.

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.
