Injury time 1 minute and Netherlands scores again.

Just as I’m talking to a goon. But USA is tilting , missing basic passes

Were the USA plays too simple or based on raw athleticism? The Dutch didn’t run as hard and were marking and pressing the American team. Dutch team made quite few nice looking passes

MLS is a joke league. It includes, frequently in the same team, players making 65k a year and has beens making 8 million.

Can you imagine Ronaldo playing in MLS after 40? Beckham really boosted soccer in US and I can’t wait for the MLS to mature some more for domestic stars, just like Japan with their J league and Korea with their domestic league. I’m sure once USMNT starts playing against the South American teams and Central American teams, the skill cap can go higher.

On the bright side, if US wanted to, they can have their national team train a year before the world cup starts whereas other countries can’t afford to pull their players from the big European leagues.
