The leadership of the US Soccer program don't care about winning. They care about making money from the product.

You consider getting past group stage once in the 90s “successful”??? We’re the freaking US. We dominate everything else

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

Our best player was nominated for best midfielder in Serie A. Another player led Juve in assists

Your remarkable insight into US Soccer is noted.

Well soccer folks seem to have their heads in the sand. Nobody can figure out why we suck so bad. I just told you why.

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

Give me Zlatko Dalic or Hervé Renard

DubuMfalme

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

ShinobiCoug

Maybe he meant forward without him.

crazY

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

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

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

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