  1. I get that Klopp wants a nice vacation. But after a few months even places like Marbella and St Tropez get old. Doing nothing can get really boring. The US job may not be Italy or Brazil, but it’s pretty cush job compared to those and with really high upside. Just sit there at your villa and watch tape of the players, schedule calls and short trips to have dinner with the euro players. Hold practice sessions at your villa. Fly to Miami or New York or Dallas or LA or wherever for a few friendlies and camps. Get out of the group in the WC. Be a hero. You don’t even have to go play at Granada or Honduras to qualify. Surprised he shot it down so fast.
  2. Let’s fucking go
  3. Spot on. I think I mentioned this before but I had a long conversation (and many bottles of wine) with Claudio Reyna and his mouthy wife at a Christmas party in 2022. They actually weren’t invited back this year because she was so cloak room mouthy… and they moved out of Austin. Anyway, he made this same point in relation to his son. Saying essentially that Gregg runs a system and some of the best players in the pool don’t fit his ideal system players. We both agreed it was stupid. That was also the night they told me that he was a woman beater and that some news would come out and take him down. It came out, but of course he cockroached his way through it. I have Claudio’s # but never texted him. Not going to start now. Also- I was thinking about US teams in the past and how you felt about them from a skill level, system and as a cohesive team. This current teams seems the most talented, but I don’t trust anything about them. I remember 2010, driving from Johannesburg to Rustenburg for the US-England game. I told my friends on that drive that I thought we’d beat England. They then listed off all the players England had. But I was like, “we have some guys that just play like guys and the play for each other. England doesn’t”. We didn’t win that game. But we won the group with the goal against Algeria being one of the monumental moments in American soccer. That was a far less talented but super cohesive team. Gregg’s teams just feel gross.
  4. “Long term vision”
  5. I’ve always appreciated Jesse Marsch’s style of attack and I think it actually could have worked in the premier league but Leeds was never going to give him the talent to execute it reliably. Ultimately, I think at this stage we need some big name that the players will automatically trust. I mean, Klopp is perfect. A tactician that can evaluate the player pool and put people in the right positions, a guy that comes with credibility amongst the players and fans, personality to handle much more pressure than the USMNT would present. Come on you fucks in the league office. Make a move. Do your jobs.
  6. It’s kinda funny to get worked the fuck up about some players that probably won’t see a college field until 2026 or beyond. By that point Sark will be coaching at Manchester United, Elko will be at Cy Fair, Venables will be at Arlington Renegades, and Texas will be coached by WatsonX.
  7. Gregg has his very own aggy
  8. It’s a proven strategy for failed dictatorships worldwide. Smart actually.
  9. I’m beginning to truly believe that our boys “Craig Walters” and Crocker are going to circle the wagons, turn off all feedback loops, and just keep GGG.
  10. Dude missed an opportunity to “show the yellow card” to the ref when handing it back.
  11. 11Yanks of the chain? Edit: I’ll show myself out.
  12. I mean, Crocker’s claim to fame is barely keeping Southampton in the premier league. Fuck that. This ain’t Southampton, this is the fucking USA.
  13. Crocker’s long term vision involves playing like pussies and losing to Panama?
  14. Whoa, whoa. Let’s pay some consultants first.
  15. A reliable dispatching of concacaf minnows. Edit: But seriously, as an Everton fan I’ve spent years hating the sight of this man. But thinking about it, he’s the perfect fit for this team and I’d love to have him. His style is perfect for our player pool. Free Timmy to go get it done.
  16. I’d settle for reliably beating Trinidad & Tobago and Jamaica.
  17. Solid point. It’s just the bold decisive action is needed. To Twellman’s point, we can’t have a 14 month study that results in an MLS retread.
  18. Both
  19. It feels like there is a lot of momentum with ex-players and media to make a move and go get a big name. But board looks like it was constructed as the result of a DEI study conducted by McKinsey. Not that I have problem with diversity, but there’s a lot of “who the fuck is this guy” on the US Soccer board.
  20. Lampard might come have a look?
  21. The next guy will probably be “Greg” Berkhalter
  22. Klopp? March? Schloss? Any of us can do a better job. Who is it?
  23. Has to happen. Tomorrow. Has to happen
