Where's the talent in this squad that dominated Germany and was a missed handball call away from penalties and the semis of the World Cup.

Or this one that ended Spain's 35 game unbeaten streak

Far more talent in the current squad. It's not even close.

Pulisic - regularly starts for Milan.
Musah - regularly starts for Milan
McKennie - regularly starts for Juventus
Tim Weah - regularly starts for Juventus
Gio Reyna - regular minutes at Dortmund, loaned to the Forest dumpster fire. There is talent there
Balogun - Was at Arsenal
Serginio Dest - made 51 appearances for Barcelona. That one

20 years ago virtually no US players other than Goalkeepers were seriously considered at clubs like these

That certainly is a list of really not very good footballers

That certainly is a list of really not very good footballers

Yet they are good enough to play significant minutes at sides like those.

20 years ago guys were playing for MLS teams

It's night and day. And not just because of who they are playing for. This American team actually has the ability to try to play football. I've seen it. With my own eyes.

20 years ago it was essentially hit and hope. Kind of like watching a Dyche side.

Folks, take the "who has the worst national team manager" to another thread unless it involves two managers of Copa America teams

Please unlock the USMNT thread and we would

I have to say I’m pretty much out on McKennie

You’re all welcome to come and support England in the Euros, following your embarrassing group stage exit from the Copa América.

I'd like to follow the Euros beyond Saturday

James is still class. Just needs the right manager to bring it out of him. Seems to have found that with Colombia again.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Entertaining start

 

[carolinablue232]

I think he’s onside…Certainly more onside than Uruguay was

Looks good to me.

Dr. Joe is the most pointless employee of all time. “He might be offside and if he’s offside it won’t be a goal.” Thanks Dr. Joe.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Booo

 

[carolinablue232]

Feels like if it wasn’t given as off initially it wouldn’t have been from var either. Not having the actual offside technology for this tournament is stupid
