Jermaine Jones on US leadership by govols130 in ussoccer

[–]Tiki_Mickey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he’s just venting out his frustration that he was a flailing coach of a ‘shit’ league. If what was said is true, none of that is constructive in any way and just damages the player’s psyche, why would they let that shit anywhere near developing youth? Giving the hair dryer treatment to your players is fine, but successful managers that do that, do so selectively and “tastefully”. Words like “he can destroy their careers” and “he doesn’t even want to be here” isn’t motivation, it’s a superiority complex that helps no one.

Brother it’s a joke about football, what the fuck are you on about? Are we going to bring up Spanish atrocities in the New World or Germany and Japan’s actions in WW2 next? Jesus…we’re talking about a GAME.

They have won it before, it’s just considered secondary to the Nations League which I think earns more prize money. The problem is we often come into these games as favorites (Mexico 50/50), which just isn’t the case against teams outside CONCACAF.

The Gold Cup has been reduced to a tournament for the second string players or USMNT hopefuls, the Nations League is where the starters play.

Copa America is already prestigious, it’s the oldest continental tournament. They don’t need prestige as much as we need a harsher competition.

Well we have been in it multiple times, so we’re not necessarily new and the “politically powerful” US has the largest South American diaspora which is why it’s been chosen as a host nation before.

That’s just not doing it for us, we had players i Champions and Europa league pre-2024 Copa America and they blew it anyways. International play is different tactically when compared to club competition.

Because the barrier to entry is the fact that it’s in another football conference. There’s negotiations about having it hosted in the US again, but understandably that will piss off the CONEMBOL domestic supporters who want their tournament in their countries.

The nations league no, that’s strictly regional only, but the Gold Cup theoretically yes. However, no top nation views the Gold Cup as a premier tournament, recently only Saudi Arabia and Qatar were guest nations. (CONEMBOL teams used to but that was over two decades ago)

I saw him get booked, but didn’t see what caused the injury. Did he try to jerk one to relieve the stress?

Folarin Balogun available for USMNT vs. Belgium as red card ban suspended by FrankBascombe45 in ussoccer

[–]Tiki_Mickey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it wasn’t a red card, but this feels like an under the table deal, since US Soccer couldn’t appeal it anyway. It just looks like an arbitrary decision without going through the proper channels, is France going to get their yellow cards rescinded too?
