lol, yeah. I wish they didn't, because some of my favorites disappeared after a few seasons. Related, thick stripes FTW.

Can someone explain Berhalter's lineup?

3-4-3? But neither Leggett nor Arriola are wingers. Dike as a LM? Hoppe as CF? All of this after the terrible showing against Canada?

This man continues to perplex me.

Many African nations have more competent, and less corrupt, leadership than U.S. Soccer.

Such a waste.

This is the best shape USMNT has been in, in like ever, right? The Gold Cup is meaningless with this MLS roster lol

Personnel wise, absolutely. Management wise, the list of improvements over Gregg is endless.

Their national team is mostly a bunch of naturalised players from Sudan, Iraq, Egypt, France, Portugal etc.

So I guess they're sort of not bad. Reigning AFC champions, if I'm not mistaken.

Yea Qatar is dangerous against the young B Squad the USMNT is sending out. They are probably sitting at closer to Canada level right now. They are good enough to be a headache against an A Squad and more than good enough to be dangerous against the young’uns. It’s just a feeling that I think they are able to do just enough to edge a victory. I hope I am wrong, I’d hate for them to mess around and win the Gold Cup. It gets made fun of enough already.

Dike’s success in the Championship must have been 99% due to playing with better players. Teammates able to elevate his play because he has been thoroughly underwhelming in this competition. Terrible with the ball anywhere outside the box and completely worthless in hold up play, which is uninspiring for someone his size.
