The Gold Cup is our Euros. Not our fault we're in a weak confederation. It's not a made up trophy. It's the top trophy we can win outside of a World Cup. Or maybe Olympics.

Not qualifying for the World Cup would be an absolute disaster of course.

The Gold Cup is a clown show. This is not our fault and it wasn't always this way. Clubs brought their best and cared about winning it before we went to this 2 years nonsense.

Its not the lack of talent that made it a clown show, you can put out a interesting show when it seems like people care. Copa America is a joke as well.

Hey, now. Look. I am bad at soccer. On table. admitted. Wrestling. yes, I know that of which I speak.

This said, I get the approach, Low variance, low payoff. Smart if you win on talent. Not so smart if not, This is a bad dice roll.

Well this was more so going towards the larger point of like the crap they said "Bruce" yes they referred to him by 1st name like that wanted us to do.

It's not just this 1 game. They've made terrible decisions left and right. The guy thought basketball was the sport to look to for soccer strategy.

I'm old so idk if it's done. But they were always looking to bring in some kind of strategy or other piece of American sports. Build an identity.

All this kind of crap. I don't wanna do that. Get your ass over to a football nation and just mimic their practices.

I don't need American exceptionalism, ingenuity, pragmatism, work ethic. We wanted and need to learn how to win. All this identity bullshit they've been talked about for years is just bullcrap.

Nice goal... man I've developed a dislike for the sight of Gregg. Ugly mutha...

Let's go though. A point after that 1st half feels like a win. Let's get 3 we don't deserve. And still fire Gregg lol kidding.

He deserves credit if his adjustments work.

I don't care about the Gold Cup. It's a joke. I'd rather play friendlies against Uefa's u23s.

Sorry not made up, but it's a joke of a competition. I understand and agree with your point to an extent. If you're gonna just accept the system as is, then yea nothing you can do but go win it.

What do you do for work Martin? The way you speak in terms of risk and variance makes you seem like you work in insurance.

Used to. In a true fit of irony, I was Fortune 100 front end knowing my lies, and what the back end had to say about what I did.

These days, I write. What I write today more or less zeroes in on what I really have to say. Long before the insurance, I was a Fortune 50 manager in personal finance. I really, really need to atone for that one.
 
Antonee... my guy wtf was that on the left wing? Lol

I apologize to everyone in this thread for my rage. The poor broadcast, seeing pulisic at the end of the half walking around after that sprint at the end taking on 3 guys.

All it was missing was the water logged field and I felt like I was watching Trinidad again.
