Yeah the Federation is fucking things up for kids and families. Went to the WC Qualifier in Seattle in 2013 and think I paid a little over $100 a ticket for front row seats with AO membership. 

Well, da’ bitches ain’t exactly carrying their weight these days and there won’t be a 10 city victory tour to pad the coffers to cover their equal pay after that shit stain they left in the New Zealand/Australia World Cup.

Did Tessmann fuck Beerholder's wife or something? Has he told the USMNT he isn't interested? Genuinely don't understand what's going on.

Anyway, to amplify on what our Corsican despot shared, here's a low-res highlight reel of Tessman's contributions on Wednesday:

That free kick was a fucking peach.

Tesserman needs to get out of Serie B first.

But Busio can stay at Venezia, play in Tessmann’s shadow, and still get called in?

I may have had some grenache.  Maybe

Tessmann was getting married during the early part of the Gold Cup (I think), so he was unavailable.

Rossoneri taking on Roma here in 10 mins on Paramount+ in case anyone is looking to bullshit the last few hours of their workweek.

So Gergg has finally swallowed his pride, listened to his critics and ... starting reading this board.

He was put together with all of the spare parts that shouldn’t have been included in the do-it-yourself kits that his parents had assembled over the years.

A.L.’s inclusion in the USMNT’s World Cup roster had me thinking…

Why does Gregg Berhalter hate America 🇺🇸?

You scared the crap out of me. I had to double check to make sure he wasn’t on there. 

I watched that video - the result was worse than his lowlight against Saudi Arabia, but the the SA “pass” was far worse technically.

Link to the pass. 

I don’t remember it, and I usually have a fairly strong memory.

it took me a while to find it because the clip was from a deleted tweet with the caption "Is Aaron Long foreal right now?" So I had to find a video of the game and locate the clip. This is cued up, Long was #5 in this game.

 

 

What boggles my mind about this game - every clip I found of Long passing the ball - he's generally passing it back or sideways and usually to Ream. This is one of his few forward passes I spotted. It's a mess.

That's like when FIFA decides to pass it in the completely wrong direction and it fucks up a perfect counter.

(his name is spelled Gill and he's the white dude on the right)

Born in Denver. Parents got jobs in Spain so they moved there when he was younger. Technically a dual nat but turned down Spain in 2022 to stick with the US.

I thought he was the guy on the left and figured his name was Adrián Gíl.

“Parents got jobs in Spain so that they could move there when he was younger.”

FIFY

 

The plan was always to find a legal way for him to go and train at La Masia. This wasn’t a random stroke of luck.

What’s GERGG up to, that seems way too good of a lineup for that bum

Well he doesn’t get the chance to put Reyna at wing/bench him so it’s kinda hard to mess up. 

[Knoxtnhorn 5923]

Whoa.  With football starting, I'm completely out of the loop.  I know it's an international break, but it's weird to see the "A" team play a friendly, in the US, w/o anything truly major (qualifying) coming up.  

[Napoleon 8590]

This was the window that we had scheduled Argentina 🇦🇷 & Brazil 🇧🇷 (NOT kidding) and then FIFA moved World Cup qualifiers to this window for CONMEBOL and at the last minute US Soccer had to arrange two friendlies with teams from this sofa at the Omega House.

if we score every 4 minutes, Gregg could fix that boner.

Uzbeks with the high press and our Yanks dealing with it surprisingly well. Playing very fast and composed.

 

I would like to see more.

[ztejas 43198]

Omfg. The pass from CP. The first touch from McKennie. The absolute rocket from Weah.

So I can watch as much of the 'Bama game as possible.

 

EDIT: Should've had a second goal just then but love what I'm seeing!

Pfffft quit being such a drama queen, Travis. Sounds plenty well attended from the crowd noise in the Weah clip.

Wish they would’ve played in prime time last night.

We have a real back line with talent. We aren’t running that trash Aaron Long out there this cycle. When you have guys that can play at this speed, they can handle a high press.

Not much from Musah or Balogun today.

Getting negative boner now. And just clock peeking for Horns
