What’s the difference between utah fans and a litter of puppies?

Puppies can be housebroken

Throw back to the clown call of the tournament

RSL This is my dupe account

Is the USMNT job attractive to foreign coaches? I can see how it would be

Mister P

9:51pm

Ah, nevermind. Maybe Gregg was mixed up with directions after seeing the offside lines drawn

100% agree. Weird take by OP.

Blue Golfer

9:51pm

Haha we don’t absolutely dominate the world in anything athletic but lose to little sisters of the poor in soccer

RdF3

9:52pm

A coach helps mold the culture in his demands

Archaea

9:52pm

Every competitive sport these days is for rich kids unfortunately.

Mister P

9:53pm

Thierry Henry will be the next US national team coach.

shoganai

9:44pm

Oof. I don't like that appointment. Give me Nancy

RSL

9:45pm

Give me Zlatko Dalic or Hervé Renard

Spiff

9:52pm

The pipe dream is Guardiola.

Yukon

9:45pm

Yes. Pay him all the monies.

ShinobiCoug

9:46pm

Yes. That is, indeed, a pipe dream.

shoganai

9:48pm

Something quite a bit stronger than a pipe IMO

RSL

9:50pm

ryan Smith where are you?

Archaea

9:53pm

Steve Kerr should do it. Ted Lasso style.

bruincoug

9:51pm

Oh Gregg. This is not forward

RSL This is my dupe account

9:40pm

The man is an idiot.

rivercitycoug

9:41pm

At very best, arrogant

RSL

9:43pm

He’s certainly that. His tactical approach got us 3 total goals in 4 Qatar WC

rivercitycoug

9:46pm

I would hate to see this team go backwards.

crazY

9:42pm

RE: Oh Gregg. This is not forward

DubuMfalme

9:42pm

Forward? Making it to the semis would be forward. This was 2 steps backwards.

ShinobiCoug

9:43pm

Maybe he meant forward without him.

crazY

9:44pm

We made it to the semis of the Copa America Centenario in 2016.

Yukon

9:45pm

If this was an image I’d assume a bad AI model created it. Forward?

If that ref ever does another game something is wrong

Ah jeez. It all makes sense now

RSL This is my dupe account

9:36pm

So if you took our top US football and basketball players into USMNT soccer

OU Cougar

9:34pm

Probably not but it's a much different athletic skill set. Sheer size and speed

Kajdin

No shot.

If you had a time machine could focus them on soccer when they were 10, yes

Younger than that probably

whoneedscorners?

9:34pm

Shaking hands of players wasn’t in his “Soccer Reffing for Dumbies” book

VirginiaPeanut

9:37pm

I’m pretty sure he’s still reading it. He just got to the part about yellow card

HimmerFredette

9:38pm

We did it to ourselves but the officiating was criminal and should be addressed.

Malcolm Reynolds

9:34pm

Get ready for it. I'm only 30% sure that USSF even moves on GGG. Maybe won't.

RSL This is my dupe account

9:34pm

He won’t.

The ref didn’t even shake Pulisic’s hands after the match

shoganai

9:34pm

Sports is wild. Weah madness keeps them out of the group and Berhalter likely

CougGolf

9:33pm

I think we aren't good enough to play Berhalter-ball.

RSL

9:35pm

In the long run, this result may be good. Gregg needs firing ASAP so we can hire

HingleMcCringleberry

9:32pm

Honestly, I find myself blaming GGG a lot, but how much control does a soccer

TO11

9:32pm

He also doesn't control injuries and suspensions, and missing Weah and Dest hurt

Who selects the players?

Archaea

He has stubbornly persisted in a system that everybody could see didn't fit his

shoganai

9:34pm

Precisely. This team has not progressed and can’t score

Archaea

9:36pm

He sets the culture and it’s one of comfort and weakness

vegas guey

If Weah doesn't raise his hand, we're likely moving on and thus not calling

Avery

9:31pm

Agreed. But he hasn’t exactly moved the needle either.

I probably would be. He should never have been brought back

StlCoug17

Uruguay does have a country population of Los Angeles so you know.. Makes sense

creameryon9th

9:17pm

They have a strong history. They’ve won the WC.

inertiaman

So if you move to Uruguay, your chances of making the team are pretty good

Supercoug

9:10pm

He is on “vacation” in the states right now.

allaboutthegainz

9:10pm

he also supposedly had a deal with Brazil, but evidently that is not materializing the way everyone expected.

My expectations for 2026 would be completely unreasonable if we hired Ancelotti.

SpecialKC

Well of course. It’s why pitchers don’t want play for the Rockies. Too many long

Big Daddy D

9:11pm

My point is that the Dbacks is the second highest. That’s wild to me.

AZPTCOUG

9:14pm

Oh gotcha. That’s a new fact for me too. Had no idea who was number 2

Big Daddy D

Atlanta being third is even more wild.

6 losses in 14 games since they brought him back. Awful.

Uruguay was the better team, but the refs and failed VAR did make a difference

I think we need to allow Suarez to eat Berhalter.
