Has anyone consulted the FIFA rule book to see if a team can achieve negative points

Wonder how far back Landon's hairline must be now

Also, Never Forget these classics from their 2002 USMNT WC photo shoot

Wrong thread

Or maybe this thread can just be completely merged with Weekend Web somehow??

If rumors are true, Odell Beckham Jr seems like a better fit for the German team

It's funny because ESPN and the like are constantly torn and bouncing back and forth between "actually, American players are among the best in the world" and "yeah, we suck, but can you imagine if Lebron James played soccer?"

The stupidity is obvious (the reason Messi in the best argentinean player isn't because they lack 6'10 athletes), but ESPN doesn't know how to sell an event where Americans aren't the overwhelming favorites.

See if one of the streaming providers like Sling or Fubo has a few trial you can take advantage of.

Are they still melting down that there aren't a negative number of MLS players on the squad?

Yeah this is good idea, Sling usually has 7 day trial (I use Sling)

USA doesn’t even need a pointless social media international incident to meltdown and not show up tomorrow thereby crashing out of the group stages

US needs the equivalent of "It's Coming Home" to rally around for decades and repeat ad nauseam while disappointing the nation and being ridiculed by everyone else with.

Mr. Mambold posted:

I thought it was close enough for a review. He basically played like crap, but scored what would have been a wonderful goal, which is a striker's only job really. Play like poo poo, stay the gently caress onside, score, reap profits.

[Dest was man of the match, imo. This is prime Serge Dest, dangerous whenever he had the ball at his feet, two-way all over the pitch until he ran out of gas. Carter-Vickers was a massive improvement over Zimmerman, who should be a last 10 minute guy from now on. If at all.

If only that bald fraud would give Reyna Jr. some minutes....

Up pops a smiling Jose Mourinho.

(please no, he'd ruin everything with his hate for young players)

Would enjoy either of these very ironically given how awful it would be and how the USMNT and media establishment would try to gloss over the dire style of play and likely mediocre results

I'm pretty sure there are no other recent examples of a high profile and talented player who hasn't played or trained well in the past year or so having an awful attitude being a prima donna about their place in the team being benched by a manager
