What the fuck happened to the USA?
How did their soccer team become so much better in only 28 years?
What the fuck happened to the USA?
Thr thing is all of these guys are just the goofy suburban niggas as well. The real ones go into the NBA and NFL. Just listen to an interview with Westin McKinne and than one of Lamar Jackson. McKinne sounds like he is proper and we'll raised whereas Lamar Jackson sounds like he's speaking a different language.
they reached quarter finals in 2002
You haven't watched them play have you?
Those teams had less talent, but 10x more balls and pashun, and always overperformed at the world cup.
Now we have twink mutts. I don't feel so good.
They started to care a little bit
show me one bad game the actual A team has played. Don't confuse our MLS C teams with the actual A team.
correct. they haven't actually done more than previous US teams.
Mckennie had an Army dad. He was raised properly. I follow him on twitter. He's a good dad.
Army is full of scum.
the USA on top beat Columbia's Golden Generation. In 2002 they beat Portugal's golden generation.
They lost to Canada
Traded hard work, grit, and passion for talent, technique, and pace. Maybe one day we can get both.
kek you faggots are all the same
>le heckin' like da mutt cuz he in jew army!
They started a 6th stringer at striker.
it was -10 below zero, still dominated whole game. Their goalie made outrageous saves.
No one is beating Canada in the freezing cold. Thats like criticizing Brazil or Argentina for losing at Bolivia.
how many of those players at the bottom are actually American?
i bet every last one of those players in the top picture went to the ball park to play baseball with their dad, stood every morning to salute the flag in school, watched Sesame Street, went to a christian church etc etc
Lost to Canada m8
It was -10 below zero, and we started a literal 6th stringer at striker
It wasn't 10 below zero. It was -4, you were coming off playing a game against El Salvador with literally the exact same weather whereas we were coming off playing a game in Honduras where it was 30C
when they don't make it out of group, you still going to be posting?
>losing to a leaf
>better
By passion? All of them except Musah. Robinson has two American parents, and signs national anthem passionately.
Musah is definitely a mercenary even though he was born in USA.
This pic is also missing Pulisic, Sargent, etc
>Thats like criticizing Brazil or Argentina for losing at Bolivia.
Murrisharts criticized us nonstop for losing to Canada at a weather way colder than -10
Just admit you're shit and can't even beat El Salvador at their home stadium
Anglobros...
Pretty sure they had more foreign-born mercs in those days. Lots of them were German with German mothers but had fathers who were American G.I.s stationed over there.
>he sing da song!
Cmon leafbro. It was -4 degrees. El Salvador game was 30 degrees.
I really like Canadian team. Theyre flat out good, but how can you deny we started a 6th string striker, dominated most of the game, and your goalie played like a literal god.
The 2nd goal only happened because our CB broke his foot on the ice field and we played with 10 men the last 10 minutes
On a neutral field with both A teams, its a much different result, which is exactly what Qatar will be
Our nt coach is dogshit, no tactical knowledge of the sport whatsoever.
Literally the only player you were missing was Weah. You've deluded yourself into thinking you've landed a golden generation when in reality you're at your worst in decades
you lost to this shit team 3 times in the last year LOL
You forgot the striker. Zardes is our 6th string striker. We had three missing players. Zimmerman starts over Robinson too, but had sore hammy.
Missing 3 starters in -10 weather. No one is beating Canada in the freezing cold.
OK. USMNT golden generation needs everybody fit & 100% to beat Canada. Got it
In the freezing cold at Canada? Yeah. Mexico lost there too. Brazil & Argentina lose at Bolivia all the time.
What happened when USA played Mexico at home with same team? They crushed them.
Ireland would lose by 4+ goals in Canada. You couldn't even beat Luxembourg away.
>You couldn't even beat Luxembourg away.
This can't possibly be true is it?
We lost to Luxembourg at home actually. I know my team is shit. You're yet to realize that yours is too
when is the last time Brazil lost in Bolivia? you must know as it >happens all the time
why didn't you mention Argentina
because that wasn’t hilariously inaccurate
>No one is beating Canada in the freezing cold.
Ah yes, Eustaquio and Davies, those lads could live in a hut in an arctic igloo
The funny thing is neither of those guys played in our home against the USA. Davies was out because of his heart problems and Eustaqio had covid
Soccer across the world has improved dramatically over 28 years, so the US isn't an exception. The US has been able to draw upon a larger field so it's perhaps more noticeable on a player recognition basis. The mid 2000s had very little interest in the sport, but a combination of FIFA video games, the internet globalization, and EPL broadcasting massively expanded interest. On top of that, Baseball sort of got exposed as a boring sport for the generations born in the information age, so there's been a void.
Politically it has been strange having been able to combine the national fervor of more right-leaning types while also being a leftist hipster sport.
Fundamentally though, it's a great sport to play in that you can play it later in life and as a kid. Your kids can play it, and for the most part, there's almost no down time while you're playing. This has started the process of entrenching soccer in American culture.
Doesn’t matter. He made it a general law. Canada’s team is filled with niggers playing in europe. It’s laughable to use Canada’s strength in the cold as an excuse
You can just look at their faces, they all look soft as fuck. Even famous hoopers like ja Morant act like criminal psychos
you just BTFO'd yourself. Congrats.
I miss Klinsmann
las creaturas.......

why
This
>How did their soccer team become so much better in only 28 years?
It happens, look at Belgium national team circa 2000 and compare to now.
>t.Deshawn Chang
unironically: much more immigrants from soccer countries, and internet letting younger people watch whatever sport they like (not being at mercy of whatever TV wants to show you)
the NBA is full of suburban lightskin sons of wealthy former basketball players
>no Reyna
>no Sargent
>still destroyed salvador with 89% pass completion, 63% possession, and 5 shots on goal compared to their 0
not sure what you're trying to show here
Soccer is seen as a faggot sport in the USA, so only the most beta men play it.
Zoomers are more feminine than past generations, so now much more men play soccer
>dominated entire match and won
What did he mean by this?
pass completion and possession is irrelevant when thats all gregg plays for. They pass backwards and cross all fucking game instead of shooting at all. its the fact that against EL SALVADOR, he team that placed second to last in the standings, they only scored ONCE
the eviscerator of el salvador
Your faggot zoomers will get bodied by Iran
Because they essentially started from ground zero in the 90s. From 1954-1986 the USA didn't make a single world cup, it was an amateur sport and they used to get fucked by countries like Guatemala and el Salvador. 1994 was sort of the start of American soccer. Effort was put into the national program leading up them hosting the world cup and the MLS was created shortly after
