For USA he will be a lock down starter. He would probably rather play and not win than ride the bench. |
| All I can say is US soccer in general needs a massive overhaul at all levels for both genders. |
|
The women have been doing fine at all levels overall, so this is really more a men's side issue.
But here we go again! <laughing my butt off emoji> |
Playing for the US market opens up marketing opportunities for him. Croatia, not so much. |
| As long as Bradley, Altidore, and the crew that failed in T&T (minus Pulisic - the only player who seemed to care that night) never get call-ups again I'm happy. Whatever the shortcomings of the US Soccer machine, at least this new group of usmnt players actually seem like they give a damn again. |
Sarachan is already talking about Michael Bradley having a place with the national team in the future. These guys just don't get it! |
| Bradley should be a backup or locker room leader AT BEST! Perry Kitchen would be an upgrade at CDM. Anything would be an upgrade. |
The WNT U20s not even qualifying for the WWC is fine? Smh, you are out of the loop. |
oh c'mon, Pulisic would start on that Croatia team. |
Sarachann isn't going to be the coach. |
Umm, you mean barely not making it to _knockout phase_ of the WC with two of their best U-20s not even on the team against Japan and Spain? A single result in one age group and def not what you said above. Get a grip, LOL, and here we go again. This topic has been covered in about three threads now. Get over it already, it's not the same situation as the men. |
|
Yes it has been, and your remarks were disproven multiple times on multiple threads. But that's ok. This thread is for the MNT, so out of respect for that, I will stop. Go re-read the numerous posters that corrected you and keep watching over the next few yr's, as the old vanguard phases out and the youngers phase in.
Clearly you won't believe it until the failures pile up. |
There is no misinformation in my post, only yours. Thanks. |
| Umm, strike that last remark and reverse it. |
Wrong again. US women U-20 did not make it out of the group phase of this years WC, but they qualified, contrary to what you stated. Just one goal against Spain would have put them through to the knockout round in the WC. That qualifies as barely missing out on the knockout. All facts. My post was factual, yours was not. By the way, the two teams that they ended behind in the group of death ended up being WC champs and finalists. You probably didn't watch that far. Two best players in that age group (U20), Mal Pugh and Tierna Davidson didn't play on that team, because they are promoted up. Another fact. Who knows where they would have finished with those two on the team. In sum, you are full of it. Hope you can bring fact to the men's side discussion, but I'm not holding my breath
