  1. They have to fire him or the negativity going into the home WC in 2026 will be overwhelming.  There are no games in advance of the 2026 WC to turn around the sentiment.  The USSF will ultimately realize that anyone is better than Gregggg at this point even someone on the cheap.  It may take these idiots some time to come to this realization but they ultimately will.  History is going to be extremely unkind to Greggg.  His legacy will be as one of the worst coaches in American national team history.  Not just soccer but across all sports.  An arrogant buffoon who rejected accountability at every opportunity.  Loathsome cunt.

    Still better than 2004 when fucking Greece won it. A lot of my friends from Europe all said the same thing about how it was pure luck. 

    Euro 2004 had two of the great games in Euro history (Czechs 3 - Netherlands 2; Portugal 2 - England 2) and one of the greatest collapses in Euro history France 2 - England 1.

    to be fair, dempsey's career began at age 24 when he graduated from furman and joined the revs

    ?  He started with NE and USMNT when he was 21.

  4. ECNL teams have arrangements with MLS clubs to send their best players to the MLS academies.  Over 90% of the USYNT players are from MLS academies.  The MLS academies improve every year as the system continues to professionalize.

    Our academies are broken and the players that get seen and developed are often the dads with the most connections and money (and those types of kids are usually bitchmade). It is a problem in most countries. But especially here. 

    MLS academies are free. The rosters are racially, geographically and economically diverse. The coaches of the academies are desperately trying to advance through the ranks based on the success of their teams and the development of their players. The academies compete against each other to sign the most talented players that aren't already signed to an academy. Players who aren't good enough get cut every season.

  6. MLS academies now basically operate like academies in other countries beginning at around the U-15 level.  Some USL teams have also implemented this model.  We need to continue to expand this model but the development system has dramatically improved over the past decade.
