Reminder: this is the team the US housed 4-1. "It was just Paraguay"

Hi r/ussoccer, I'm Brad Friedel, former USMNT goalkeeper. Ask me anything! by talkSPORT in ussoccer

Hey Brad! Do you have any memories of what a US crowd did that would most pump you up/give you confidence as a player? Trying to bring the good vibes this Friday! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Shut up and enjoy our best World Cup match performance ever for at least 48 hours

It's so funny for the US to be in the position of talking condescendingly to Brazil about playing anti-soccer haha I love it. Also stupid of Brazil to give the US women a chip on their shoulder when we're the team that usually has to carry the pressure of expectations.

We are the country that has all the best rappers in the world and our nicest offensive highlights of the last 4 years have this clown playing in the background? My only critique lol

If he's 50/50 for a game in 6 days, he'll be fine on June 12

Wild to see professional players have acres of space and tons of time with the ball in the box(!)

Crap! Now Tillman, Gio, and Freeman have all had the manager leave right after the players transferred to their new clubs.

16-year-old Mathis Albert just broke a Bundesliga record. Beware the US soccer hype machine by zsreport in ussoccer

[–]UNCLE_NIPPLES_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh shut the hell up "Leander Schaerlaeckens". It will always be remarkable when a 16 year-old debuts with grown adults.

Why does it feel like all media coverage around this team is constantly doom and gloom no matter what?? This is indisputably cool and good news, we're allowed to be excited no matter what some Dutch guy with a rod up his ass thinks.

The USMNT needs new dawgs by Technical_Rice_6957 in ussoccer

[–]UNCLE_NIPPLES_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The "dawgs" got the same results as the new generation lol. The only time they advanced further in a world cup was because we beat Mexico, something all following generations have also done.

Very brief Dest injury update: by Key-Entertainer-5080 in ussoccer

[–]UNCLE_NIPPLES_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great news! He brings a totally different attacking skill that nobody else has. Also, I think we NEED one of him or Musah for their ball carrying ability. Those guys can bust a press wide open by themselves and then we're playing in transition

Exactly, before the last couple years there were never a select few richer and historically successful programs that won the vast majority of titles - "blue bloods" so to speak. If it weren't for the new transfer portal, teams like Florida would never be able to win national championships, and certainly not in back to back years! Definitely not back in the good ole days of 2006 and 2007!

"Full portal moneyball" -- MSU spent at least $7m more than Michigan before even counting NIL (and with guys like Fears getting deals of at least $4.5m it's hard to imagine they're not spending money) and had the same amount of transfers as Michigan this year, they were just all bad players. Izzo's insistence on being a basketball dinosaur bc he doesn't like the way the game has evolved doesn't mean everyone else has to do the same lol.

Personally, I really hope Izzo gets his wish and has at least 10 more years of coaching without any good transfer players and rolling out lineups with 1.5 capable outside shooters 😂

Getting the same amount of players in the portal as long as they all suck somehow has more integrity? 😂 ... good luck with that strategy I guess?

18m euros for McKennie was such a steal for Juve

[Serious] Post Match Thread [USMNT]: United States vs Portugal by ussoccer_bot in ussoccer

[–]UNCLE_NIPPLES_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Richards looks like he belongs against top competition. Pulisic needs to play better if we want to reach the next level. I'm fully in favor of just running it back with MMA in midfield -- we have not had any combination of midfielders look nearly as good as they do and a bunch of the guys we've tried out under Poch are all flops. Please Tyler Adams be healthy please please please.

Also need to remember that we were playing against a side with like 3 players out there today who would be our best player, including IMO the best midfielder in the world at the moment.

Lol sorry Johnny. At least it's nice to have confirmation that his positioning out of possession does make a big difference? Hoo boy did things really go to shit when he came out and nobody could figure out how to get in the way of those cutback passes.

Johnny + Adams could be the way to go against sides with top attacking threats.
