They’re only one win away from finally ending a tournament out of the red on the goal differential side. Will be interesting to see if they can pull it off.

Still more worried about how pretty the soccer is than actual results. That’s how you end up getting grouped by Panama with far superior talent, yeah.

Or finish dead last in your group at all of the World Cups you’ve played in (which is a pathetic 2) like Canada.

Canada was a complete joke in soccer for the entire sport’s existence until literally like 2 years ago. Shit, even now their program was effectively bankrupt (they are paying Marsch through subsidies from the Canadian MLS clubs). You can’t possibly be praising USA for doing slightly better than that, right?

If Canada wins one more game this week, they’ll have surpassed USA’s best run at Copa in 5 appearances in their first appearance. A country with massively more resources and a gigantic talent pool in comparison to tiny Canada. All of Canada’s best athletes play either hockey or basketball too so that can’t be an excuse either for USA’s underachieving at this sport.

Kind of like how hockey is ingrained in Canada. It doesn't matter that we have a huge population advantage, it is so ingrained in their culture that is what kids dream of doing sports wise.

If it wasn’t clear before Colombia destroyed Panama 5-0, the US was in the worst group of the tournament. How does Berhalter still have a job?
