We'll always be back-to-back world war champs, though.

US really has had a bad year, so this is no surprise. South America has too many good teams. We lack superstars and can't keep relying on Dempsey as our one weapon.

In the office there's a new guy who is a huge soccer fan and when I told him I was getting interested in the sport he told to not watch today.

We aren't terrible and will almost certainly qualify for the World Cup, but we are at best second-tier team.

I'm glad you're watching though. Soccer is awesome. And one good thing about the Central American/African immigrants coming in to the USA is hopefully we will have a bunch of really kickass soccer players in a few years.

At least the women are good.

We watched the game at a place called the view house in the dtc and suck me sideways it is cougar central. Never seen so many in one place, ever.

Still a chance for six points and a knockout round appearance.

And you didn't invite me over for a beer? Shame on you.

Fire the players. They suck. Jurgen can only do so much with the talent he has. Until the US has more players playing in the European leagues on the regular, it's always going to be like this.

I'm not buying that anymore. Almost everyone on that starting eleven is/has played oversea at top level. The 4-3-3 decision was disaster and they looked unprepared and uninterested.

It will be tough.

The 4-3-3 worked well in the last 2 friendlies. ...and some of those guys might have played overseas but they spent most of the time on the bench.

Tell me who you think on that roster is a good talent.
