Shhhhhhhhh...... I like it my way better.
-
oh yeah, the world cup being 2 months away is why the USA looks like shit. Anxiety.
-
Remember beating CR7 and Portugal and giving Belgium a run. Who would have thought that that would be as good as it gets when we have so much more talent now.
-
Maybe we can Herm Edwards Gregg after the game. This is embarrassing.
-
I think he was on. The other dude was waaaaay offside.
-
goal or not, usa is getting pantsed.
-
In game ads are so brutal. I am going to boycott any company that does that shit.
-
maybe getting absolutely exposed in these two games will bring a shift in philosophy..... yeah right.
-
This. Pepi couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Thinking he is going to finish that is ambitious. That was a Pefok special though.
-
that was a solid service. obligatory.... Pefok would have scored there.
-
Man these kits are fucking horrible.
-
interesting lineup. Gio, Aaronson and LDT should be fun.
-
I could get behind a 4 year circle jerk if we got Pep or Zidane.
-
This had me super fired up. Was stoked to see Skipper (who was cut at the end of hard knocks) come back in and get a start and a game ball.

It's funny seeing her in Metro Detroit, she looks so out of place, but good for her for supporting her meal ticket.

The biggest knock against Gregg since he took over has been his player selection. That player selection is currently magnified as we are about to start our first world cup in 8 years as a country. In this case its Pefok/Reem/Whoever, and if Qatar doesn't go well, it is pretty easy for everyone to use that as the excuse. With all the talent the USA has there will be pressure on the federation to put someone in place that will maximize that talent. There will always be people who disagree with who coaches are playing, in every sport. This is no different. For your odds above I would adjust one thing, and it is based on the culmination of Gregg's entire tenue of roster decisions. Gregg brings Pefok and makes it out of the group stage. 100% he is back regardless of what happens in the knockout stage. Gregg doesn't bring Pefok and the USA doesn't make it out of the group stage. 95% chance he is done.
-
These odds are all fine and dandy, but the US has a pretty tough group, and making a run would involve getting out of the group. Which is a tough thing to do if you don't bring your best team. If the USA doesn't make it out of the group stage, and they don't bring what is perceived my many to be their top scoring threat at the striker position, it would be very difficult to justify keeping Gregg. Especially with all the talent the US currently has and will have at its disposal in 2026. You can't go back to Gregg if he isn't putting the "golden generation" of US soccer in a position to win.
-
Yep. Going back to this it is just a mind blowing situation. I know coaches aren't supposed to listen to the outside noise, but I don't see Gregg making it past January with a Job if the US doesn't make a run and he leaves some of our best talent off the rost.
-
I don't think its unreasonable or unlikely to think that (currently) one of the top scorers, in one of the top leagues in the world would be useful in the WC. Goals matter. You need people who are going to put the ball in the next.
-
Both episodes were great IMO. Episode 2 was fucking hilarious. Fucking Ern.
-
THIS.... Every coach has their own philosophy, but the good coaches are the ones who can adapt that philosophy to fit their players. Put your best players out there and adjust. At the end of the game whoever has the most goals wins. Usually having guys that can score helps with that. Pefok can't press.... OK well..... Pepi can't score..... You don't get points for pressing. Put the ball in the net, and your best players on the field.
-
I am still just so perplexed. Is there any person in the world that thinks Pepi is better than Pefok? Like Pepi is 19, let him sit out, grow and hopefully he keeps developing, but damn it give your team the best chance to win.
-
I feel like this press argument has been lingering around for awhile. Beer needs to figure out a way to use his best players. Our style is fine, but eventually you have to adapt to what you have at your disposal. If Pefok doesn't end up in Qatar its malpractice. If you are going to make a run, there will be some point where you need a goal. Probably should have your best goal scorer in that case.
-
The MJ leg kick may be my favorite signature move.
