This just isn’t even remotely true. It’s crazy we’re not worse at soccer considering for years we basically had one hand tied behind our backs as far as developing our talent. We still do to some degree but it’s improving

Who is your replacement then?
You lose Poch you’re looking at another Gregg type of hire.

And this is because of our youth system. It’s simple as that. We have just as many talented players (and we’d have more if things were cheaper) as other nations but it alllll comes down to development.
We do NOT develop our guys the same way and the most crucial ages, which is like 6-15.

Eh. I’d say give him another cycle. He made the right adjustments in this game. It’s not his fault our guys shite down their legs.

Culture is a thing too. A lot of our kids are outside playing football and basketball. It’s built into our culture. Everywhere else, on fields, on dirt, they’re playing soccer.
But again, making things more accessible will help a little with that. And if they ever make a deep run, like a semi final run, things can take off quickly

So I'd say we need more athletes period,
Eh. I mean yes and no. We need more bodies, for sure but there’s probably an additional Pulisic caliber player that’s probably priced out because of how expensive everything is to get quality coaching and development that is easily accessible to other top tier countries. Other countries have their best coaches developing their youth because soccer development is CRUCIAL at much much younger ages compared to other sports.
We can talk about CONCACAF all we want but until organizations make soccer more accessible, we will continue to struggle. If you fix the club system in place, you start developing MORE quality players. Maybe not world class just yet, but no more Tim Reams. Once that happens, you’ll have even more of our players playing in Europe and actually getting minutes instead of riding the pine

Clear overreaction
We’re on the right trajectory but our ceiling will always be capped until our club system is more aligned to the European format.
Which, unfortunately, may or may not happen.

but kids in America don’t play soccer games for fun. They play basketball unstructured and for fun. Same with football. Same with hockey. Progressively less and less with baseball. But not soccer. Public fields are largely leased to youth leagues that often restrict access. Kids participation in the sport is fully structured. Until kids play soccer for fun in the US we will continue to mostly suck at soccer.
Perfectly put. Kids in other countries develop an addiction to soccer at an early age. It’s a rec activity here

Freeman was playing much better toward the end of the half. Hopefully that carries over and some others, namely McKennie and Puli, can start playing to their standard. If they don’t, we’ll need literal magic :lol:
Balogun will bury one but McKennie and Puli will need to play better to create that opportunity.
