United States Population - 330,000,000
Curacao Population - 161,000 United States 1 Curacao 0 = Piss Poor! |
We also had less possession and shots. It is time for Berhalter brothers to go. |
So with Bruce the U.S. loses to Trinidad and Gregg they barely beat Curacao. But everyone kills Juergen. Sigh. |
|
So they beat T&T 6-0 but then only win against Curaçao by 1 and everyone is already casting judgment 10 games into GB’s tenure.
Sigh. |

They're all dutch players. Curacao is the former Netherland Antillies and almost all of the players are playing because they have relatives with a Curacao-ian passport.
This would be like MLS players who couldn't make the USMNT play for Guam. |
How many games do you need to figure out that this coach just does not have it what it takes to coach at the international level? We were outplayed by Curacao for most of the game and even had to add a third CB to hold onto a win! What would it take for us to get a real coach? A lopsided loss to Tonga or American Samoa? |
| The most ridiculous thing is that we basically struggled against the Netherlands 3rd team. |
LOL. You are quite the magical thinker. |
And considering the Dutch team is terrible right now (I’m Dutch, so I can say this, if you say it...I will fight you) it’s embarassing. |
It takes more games than this. You have to give a coach a chance to get his system/players into place, and give everything a chance to gel. Yeah, they've sucked so far, but why not give him some time? You think there's a fantastic, established coach just waiting for a call from the US? |

That still was a nice cross from Pulisic.

Pulisic is good...news at 11. |
Why does it have to be an established coach? Curacao seems to get good performances and nice possession play out of a weak roster...can we get their coach? |
Curacao does not have a weak roster. I would argue that many of its players are better than are starting XI. Look, men's soccer in the US is just weak. Even the best coach is going to be limited in what he can do.The issue is much deeper than coaching. Make access similar to that of football, baseball, track and basketball and you will see stronger players. Not everyone can have a Pulisic-like experience. |
