US Soccer is in the midst of a lost generation. A few articles have been written about how the generation born between 1990 and 1994, which should be the backbone of the program, have yielded very few

Milhalovic has better touch than most everyone else out there, but damn he plays dumb.

How is mihailovic so clueless all the fucking time?  Where the fuck did we even find this guy?

I think that some old fat dude from USSF has been fucking Mihailovic since he was 12.

Mihailovic gets to play in exchange for his silence .

Curaçao has everything to play for as no one thought they’d make it to the knockout round of the Gold Cup. They enter the quarterfinals finishing second in their group after tying Jamaica 1-1 in their last group stage match. They had to get some help from Honduras who beat El Salvador 4-0 in their final match.

History between these two teams is pretty slim as they haven’t presently meet before this match. The last time they’ve met in a match was in 1985 in the Concacaf Championship. They had a 0-0 draw and 4-0 victory against Curaçao in 1984 as well. Although their history. is brief, it’s bold well in the USMNT’s favor.

Curaçao has a few players who play professionally in Netherlands. Most notably, Cuco Martina who plays for Feyenoord. Their goal keeper Eloy Room is a stout shot stopper who plays for PSC Eindhoven.

 

With that being said, Curaçao is a feisty bunch of players and are looking to take out the USA who enters this game in great form in this Gold Cup. Without conceding a goal in the group stage, the USMNT are in fine form. They won their first two matches comfortably and their last match against Panama 1-0 after setting out a whole new starting 11.

What USMNT are we going to see against Curaçao? We’re probably going to see the same starting 11 we saw against Trinidad and Tobago. That includes a center back pairing of Walker Zimmerman and Aaron Long, with Nick Lima and Tim Ream at outside back. The midfield will likely include Paul Arriola and Tyler Boyd at outside midfield and a center midfield trio of Michael Bradley, Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic. Up front will likely be Gyasi Zardes even though there could be an argument for Jozy Altidore to get the nod.

Kinda rooting for Curacao because I've visited there and it's a beautiful little place full of cool people. Also playing in Phili really makes Americans look retarded. 

Conflicted. If the us wins I hope they really earn it by out playing these guys.
