[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did you expect?  The team has not had a coach for over a year, there is no identity, and the soccer federation is run by accountants.  And once the coach is announced, we expect that it will most likely be one of the MLS guys.  If it is Tata, I am OK with waiting a year, but otherwise.....  [/quote]

I did not expect them to get bossed around the field by England's B team.  I am not a former player and thus am happy to be told that I am an idiot, but, to me, the US looked completely helpless in the first half and seemed lucky to be only down 2-0 at the half.  You make good points about the lack of coaching and general s***show that is US Soccer on the men's side, but I am getting a little nervous about the talent level on the team.  I watch a lot of Dortmund games, and Pulisic has not been good for Dortmund this Fall and large chunks of last year.  Weah needs to play, but I'm not sure where he is going to get the minutes for PSG unless he goes out on loan.  Speaking of, neither Miazga nor Carter-Vickers are doing well or getting a lot of minutes on their current loan spells, and they may no longer be the "next big thing" at the centerback position for the US.  There are a number of other promising young guys in Germany or heading there (e.g., Sargent, Taitague, Richards, Adams, Reyna, etc.), but until they get regular first team minutes, who the hell knows whether they will ever advance past the "promising" stages.  I know all of these guys are very young and still have a lot of room to develop, but the US men's team needs more than half of these guys to live up to their potential if the US team is ever going to be anything more than second best in CONCACAF over the next 3-4 years.  It seems a little depressing to be a fan of the men's team.

At least the women are still dominant.
