I’m glad you finally realized it would take a much bigger collapse for us to come calling to Canada at least. Hopefully you all can take advantage of the automatic bid and finally get your first World Cup group point in a couple years.

2 World Cup appearances in their history is absolute trash. Their performance in those world cups is even worse |

what a great hire. we're so lucky chelsea is run by absolute idiots and they let him go. if you only count the 2nd half of the prem season, poch actually had chelsea as the 3rd best team. of course they gave him no time to keep building though.

And yet, despite their much smaller talent pool and limited resources, they're still ranked ahead of the USA in ELO right now. What does that say about the American program? |

They really do. He sounds like he actually thought he had a chance to get the job during the search and he’s still super bitter that he didn’t get a chance. I’m glad he was able to land on his feet somewhere after he fizzled out at Leeds, but he was never going to be the answer for the USMNT. Not during such a critical time for the future of the sport in this country. A lateral move from Berhalter to Marsch would have never solved anything. Like I said when you originally posted this nonsense- the USMNT needed to make a big splash and Jesse Marsch is nothing more than a skipping rock on a small puddle. Never dreamed it would work out this well, though. Poch was definitely the best available candidate and somehow the USMNT didn’t **** it up.

And we still feel the impact of that shit show. We didn't have veterans because our talent development in the prior generation was atrocious. Our best guys were young and raw but that's really bad when your most experienced vets are so bad they aren't even being considered. I've heard this be called the Lost Generation And don't even get me started on pay to play which looms especially large in a sport that costs nothing to play and when we have to compete internationally with countries who don't do this |
