Ridiculous second half. Hope people at least played the first half.
I am tempted to play the FH draw in all the South American games!

National embarrassment. I hate being right on this one, but this team has serious problems. Biggest disgrace ever for US soccer in my opinion. Have to clean the slate now. Gulati has to resign. Nothing else to say.
Bason was so on this I just couldn?t believe we could not get a tie against T&T.. it?s bad.. devastating

U.S. Soccer is a dumpster fire right now and that's actually being insulting to dumpster fires. Arenas will likely survive this because, dumpster fire.
There is no way arena survives.. they need everyone gone. If this regime lasts then USA soccer does not care

And Bruce just said that nothing needs to change because our league is growing. Are you fucking kidding me? You lost because your team has 18 MLS soccer players. He is completely delusional.
Coach doesn't matter right now and you won't get a good coach. Need to wait til after the seasons or the world cup. US Soccer Federation needs to be cleaned up and someone who actually knows about soccer needs to become the head. Might as well make Reyna the interim coach.

Here?s another issue among many I have especially being directly involved. You can only play soccer at a high level if your parents can afford to pay for it in the US - therefore, we are not putting our best talent at the front.
I know a few high qualities players that could never play cup or join academies because of financial reasons. Figure I know a couple who else knows a few and then all around the country add up those few in each community ...

Let me add to that. I know a handful of very talented players locally who have had offers to play in college, my son being one of them, and they are not going on to play because, in their words, "there is no money in it".
They have each turned down scholarship money choosing instead to focus on their education/degree. I understand their choices and it's not because they can't make the millions that baseball and football players make, it's because unless you end up in the top .01% of players AND get a huge break along the way you can't even make a living in soccer in the US.
Other sports provide opportunities that soccer in the US just doesn't and it's frustrating that for another four years people in the US won't be watching soccer and nothing is going to change.
I'm late to the party and didn't realize what a great game this is until about 10 years ago. BBC, I'm not suggesting someone should pay for other to play at a higher level, but US soccer could go a long way towards helping things here if they got the exposure a WC tournament brings, and they didn't, sadly.

If every other country for most part can figure it out I don?t see why we can?t with billions of dollars at our hand. Are you insinuating it can?t be done here? If not, do you not think this all needs changed ? Imagine some of these poor families and their kids who play in Brazil and other countries who are wonder kids not playing ?cup? in their country because they don?t have money? Absurd to think about
In no way am I suggesting someone pay for these players but the cost is out of Control. We can?t sit here and think that around the world players are all
Shelling out $1500 a person for a season of cup.
