I don't watch ESPN but the 30-for-30s have been added to Netflix so trying to see them now. I know Bennett was working on some USMNT stuff, but I don't know what. His written pieces on 1994 were excellent... they're linked somewhere on the forum.
A documentary about the US' qualification for the world cup?
Sounds like the world's first sporting overdog story. Way to go, breaking new ground.
You don't watch much American tv do you... ?

Awesome, lid.
I still do.
I wasn't in the camp, sure, but if there were questions about his fitness and form... He's scored 3 goals in MLS since returning to the Galaxy, and a couple of them were opportunities he created because he had the pace to run in and slot the cross.
None of them said fat, old, and slow to me.
More interesting than it sounds. The USMNMNMNT were pyar gash in the first half of the Hex. Lost to Honduras, super unconvincing 0-0 draw against Mexico, a 1-0 win against Costa Rica in the snow that they didn't really deserve.
It's not necessarily an "overdog" story, it's the story of Jürgen transforming the team.
Because America should be expected to have trouble with numerous island and central American nations with perhaps 1/100th of our population?
If the US doesn't qualify for the World Cup it would be perhaps the single biggest qualification failure on the planet. Is there an easier Federation with such a clear overdog and as many places as CONCACAFCACFCA?
I get what your saying, but the US road to the world cup should be like an open Texas highway...I'm not continuing this joke.
Garrick
Awesome, lid.
And yet, you don't have to go too far back in history for when those tiny island and Central American nations regularly demolished us.
Paul Caligiuri's "Shot heard round the world" goal in 1989 was against Trinidad and Tobago. It was a big deal because we were s**** and weren't supposed to be in the World Cup.
It gets less relevant with every cycle, yes, but let me put it this way: The last time Everton won a major honor, the USMNT were still absolute garbage.

It's simple. Klinsmann and Donovan don't like each other, and he promised Julian Green he would be in the squad if he selected the US over Germany.
Of course Donovan should be in the squad. But if Julian Green turns into a world class player for us instead of Zee Germans, and Donovan was only going to be worth maybe 1 game is it worth it? It might be.
No Landon isn't our problem. Our center backs scare the living crapola out of me.

Yes, I know, we didn't care. But now enough people care that it should be literally inevitable that we make every major football tournament from now until the end of time...unless FIFA decides to make us join UEFA or ...whatever the South American federation is...that may not be a bad idea actually - give CONCAFCACAF's spots to South America and just have a New World Federation.
The US's road to the World Cup is about as dramatic at this point as Real Madrid's fight for survival in the top flight.

By that notion, shouldn't India and China dominate every sport in the planet? It's got little to do with population as much as popularity and pecking order. Football is THE sport in how many countries around the world? Here it's nowhere near it. It's improving, but still a long, long ways off from Basketball, Baseball, (our) Football, and even hockey.
It's not an overdog story - we know we should do well enough in CONCACAF to qualify. We certainly aren't overdogs in the actual World Cup. Most of the focus on the series has been the mroe recent period, cutting to 30, tune up matches, cutting to 23, competition for spots, some of the send-off stuff we have going on.
