Forget who asked what was on CP10's undershirt:

To be fair to Lalas, almost all of the Mexican fans at the game live in the United States and some are Americans.  It's almost impossible to overstate the insecurity of the average Mexican soccer fan

Dest's release clause with Barcelona is 400m, seriously.

Everyone's release clause from Barca is 400 mil

Barca's management rivals the City of Austin for gross incompetence and general shitfuckery. And that's hard to do.

Oh goodie, our players will look like some exotic and endangered animal species in those kits. Bravo to those fashion designers! 🤮

It looks like something Croatia would wear.

Croatia did just make a WC semis.

14 matches in 6 months for the USMNT. All the top players will be called in (and their club teams forced to release them). It's a fan's wet dream!

That first window, USMNT will want a location easy to get back and forth to Central America.   Team flies to  El Salvador then to the US then needs to turn around and fly to Honduras.   We play Canada for the home match, there is a real chance that match is in Texas.   
 

We don’t play games at NFL stadiums, if the match is in Texas, Austin is likely to be the leader followed by Houston.  I could also see Orlando, we’ve been playing a lot of games there lately or maybe the new stadium in Miami.

Houston would be the leader, then Dallas.

Don’t think that Austin would be in the Top 2 due to it not being an international hub. 

Unless US Soccer is looking to charter a plane for the Men for international flights. (The women will FUCKING LOVE that.)

Agree that Austin makes some sense for a qualifier.  USSF wants to reward cities for investing in MLS and building soccer specific stadiums.  That said, Canada is the one game that the US will have a home field advantage for regardless of the location so they may want to play it elsewhere and save Austin for a different opponent (Panama makes a lot of sense).

Hopefully, the USSF puts Mexico in the new Columbus stadium.

That makes sense about Canada, but Im not worried about Panama or Costa Rica or Jamaica crowds being overwhelming either.   They will have solid representation, but they aint getting 30%+ of any stadium in the US.

Austin has an advantage of so many season ticket holders to sell to first, to help ensure a very pro US crowd.  Dynamo season fan base has dwindled thanks to shit ownership and crap product.

There are so many great stadiums and fanbases now, it will be interesting to see how USSF goes about picking stadiums, the crowd in Salt Lake for the Costa Rica match a week ago was excellent, have to think they get one,   Also, there is a bunch a chatter about Minneapolis getting the Mexico game.   I do wonder how much travel plays into this.   East coast stadiums are better for the Euro based guys, especially over a West coast location.

I am betting on Minny for that

It would definitely be "on brand" for the USSF to ignore/destroy one of the USMNT's only traditions.  The closure of Crew Stadium and the loss in 2018 qualifying provides excuses.  

What is another USMNT tradition (other than not qualifying for the Olympics and hiring overmatched American coaches who inexplicably start a slow veteran fullback in important games)?

For home field advantage, Austin would far and away be the best option.  

Canadians are like cockroaches.

They are everywhere! (And they have access to cars.)

The humidity of Houston or Orlando would be the most “home field advantage”, but it may wear on our Euro-based players as well.

There is some hope now with the Dynamo with new ownership. The Brener/De la Hoya/James Harden ownership structure has sucked. They are still have small pieces but no longer will be managing the club.

new USMNT and USWNT kits revealed. Guess they're going with the battleship camouflage approach

 

Season 9 Idk GIF by The Office

Been staring at these for like 5 mins trying to determine if I like them or not.  Look a lot better than some of the stuff I've seen us wear over the years I suppose.

For shits and giggles, USA vs Holland in Amsterdam in 2015.

Zardes
Brooks
Danny Williams (forgot that was a thing)
Bobby Wood
 

 

Man who knew (I certainly didn't) that things would start going to shit after this match?!

The demise of Bobby Wood was especially unfathomable.
