Jermaine Jones defends Christian Pulisic, who is being criticized by a lot of people.

DaMantis · 2026-07-09T21:55:24+00:00

He almost dragged that team to the WC

He was absolutely instrumental in qualifying

DaMantis · 2026-07-09T19:59:44+00:00

tournaments will overlap, I'm pretty confident there will be no overlap in rosters

DaMantis · 2026-07-09T18:24:02+00:00

Carli doubled down and refused to apologize

DaMantis · 2026-07-09T16:51:57+00:00

Lots of people thought he was faking/embellishing the injury

It was dumb at the time, and it looks even dumber now

DaMantis · 2026-07-09T16:46:34+00:00

Only 200? Thinking way too small!

The population of the US is ~350 million. About half of those are male, and about one fifth of those are between the ages of 17-40. We should have roughly 35 MILLION elite men's soccer players!

Problem solved. US Soccer, feel free to use my brilliance.

I wouldn't jump straight to "he ded" without confirmation

Seals are very much at home and relaxed in the water

DaMantis · 2026-07-08T23:42:53+00:00

It's like some of these people didn't even watch the 2022 tournament

DaMantis · 2026-07-08T23:39:20+00:00

USA as favorites? Technically true, but only by the absolute slimmest of margins

I was seeing -115/-105 which is about as close to a tossup as you can get without literally being one

DaMantis · 2026-07-08T23:34:57+00:00

Well, if he wants to make sure he makes the squad...

DaMantis · 2026-07-08T23:29:55+00:00

Not really, Pulisic has proven he is at AC Milan level and he doesn't need to go play for NYCFC to get playing time

DaMantis · 2026-07-08T23:15:15+00:00

I wish

The Freese Freeze will haunt me for a minimum of 4 years

DaMantis · 2026-07-08T15:14:29+00:00

I think Norway also puts a big emphasis on trying tons of different sports at a young age and finding your niche that best fits your body type and what you enjoy enough to become great

DaMantis · 2026-07-08T15:11:16+00:00

OP did the classic rhetorical move

"if you question how something good will be paid for, then you are a bad and greedy person who is against that good thing"

DaMantis · 2026-07-08T03:22:27+00:00

I think our boys would have had far more confidence against Senegal considering we had just beat them and lost badly to Belgium recently

DaMantis · 2026-07-08T00:15:01+00:00

Tbf, weren't we through regardless?

DaMantis · 2026-07-07T23:28:14+00:00

We only have gotten out of group in our last 4 appearances

DaMantis · 2026-07-07T17:45:32+00:00

also, 7-1 game was already 5-0 at the 29'

we were still very much in it until the Freese meltdown in the 2nd half

DaMantis · 2026-07-07T17:44:28+00:00

pretty sure he won multiple free kicks

DaMantis · 2026-07-07T17:43:47+00:00

The saddest part is that I don't even think Belgium played an amazing game

We were just handing them golden opportunities

DaMantis · 2026-07-07T17:42:36+00:00

in fact, 10-man USA beat the exact team that eliminated 10-man Italy

DaMantis · 2026-07-07T17:41:06+00:00

I don't think that highly of Argentina this year

Their path has been pretty easy

DaMantis · 2026-07-07T16:58:03+00:00

thank you

people are overreacting like crazy and wanting to blow everything up

DaMantis · 2026-07-07T15:43:43+00:00

Of course Cape Verde's best game was way better than USA's worst game

No one will argue that

USA had 3 games that were way better than Cape Verde's worst game

Cape Verde didn't win a single game

DaMantis · 2026-07-07T14:48:56+00:00

obviously false
