  1. Our pussy mentality on the road has gotten much worse in recent qualifying cycles:

    1998  6 out of 15 points (40%)

    2002  5 out of 15 points (33%)

    2006  7 out of 15 points (47%)

    2010  7 out of 15 points (47%)

    2014  7 out of 15 points (47%)

    2018  3 out of 15 points (20%)

    2022  6 out of 21 points (29%)

    It doesn't really matter going forward because of WC expansion, but the last two cycles preceding WC expansion were embarrassing.  Finishing tied for 3rd (would have been 4th if VAR was in place for our game at Jamaica) when Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama were all down while we were in the prime of our "Golden Generation" is a joke.

  2. Our away record in the last two cycles (9 out of 36 points) is absurd.  A single win over one of the worst teams to ever reach the final round of CONCACAF qualifying.

    Pot 2 placement gives us a chance to move on from the group stage.  What is the GoD for the US? France, Poland and a weaker than usual Ghana (currently ranked 60th in the world)?  Brazil, Senegal and Wales?  You can come up with a relatively strong group but not a true GoD that includes the US.  Pots 3 and 4 just don't contain teams that would yield a GoD.

    This team has significant issues at the back with FBs who are very inconsistent in their defending, GKs with glaring weaknesses and MLS CBs.  In addition, we have a black hole at the 9, an inflexible and out of his depth manager and stars who are frequently injured.  Round of 16 would be a major success for this group pending the draw.

    Says the guy dog whipping Pulisic most of this window.

    Missed a sitter against Mexico and fouled out of the game tonight.  He can put away pens though
