Welcome Steven Gans.

Looks like change is coming and none too soon. Time to take out the trash.

 

[Bulldogg31]

It's time to go find the 10 of the world's best 15-year old
soccer players, introduce them to Brooklyn Decker and Kate Upton, and get them on US soil.

Mullens to Team USA

 

[Hankp22]

He may not beat a team that makes the round of 16

Mullens to Team USA

But he will damn sure qualify.

Apparently the USA U-17 team is as stacked as it's ever been.

 

[patdog]

After 2 games in the U-17 World Cup, the USA is assured of advancing to the knockout stages, almost certainly as the group winner. Sargent is going to be a star. He played well in the U-20 World Cup earlier this year. We lost to runner-up Venezuela 2-1 in overtime in the quarter-finals. The future is as bright as it's ever been. But, other than Pulisic, the present has pretty much been a disaster for the last 2 years.

Not qualifying for either of the last two Olympics should’ve been our first clue, but this is a whole new level of disgraceful.

Other than Pulisic, nobody in the entire organization should be guaranteed a job after tonight. From President all the way down to water boy.

 

[patdog]

Yep. And those 2 teams not qualifying is what's killing the national team today. The 22-28 year old generation has been a 17ing disaster for US Soccer. I'd add Wood and Yedlin to the list of players who should be guaranteed a job after tonight, and probably Arriola. But that's about it. Geoff Cameron is a solid starter in the Premier League and Fabian Johnson is a solid starter in the Bundesliga, but neither one can crack the starting lineup (or in Johnson's case even make the squad) for the 2 biggest games in 30 years??? WTF??

 

[FlotownDawg]

It's like an entire generation was skipped over by US soccer. There is talent that is now too old and talent that is too young (our U17 team is killing it and we have lots of young players starting to make names for themselves in Europe) but the generation that should be in its prime is not there. We have hardly any international talent in the 23-28 year old range. But that still doesn't explain Bruce Arena's baffling lineup choices like leaving Fabian Johnson and Timmy Chandler off the roster or playing Omar Gonzalez instead of Geoff Cameron. We were down a goal with less than 10 minutes left and he brings on Benny Feilhaber????? The man hasn't had a cap in seven years and he's the one to bring on in a desperate situation? Just embarrassing from the top down. Need to give Pulisic the captain's armband and play the young kids for the next five years until World Cup 2022.

 

[EngDawg]

But he will damn sure qualify.

Will always lose to Mexico and Ticos, but will always beat T&T.

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

Mullens to Team USA

He’ll qualify but he’ll get his *** smoked by anyone with even a little more talent.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Will always lose to Mexico and Ticos, but will always beat T&T.

Unless he doesn't have a guy who can kick the ball

 

[Dawgsnsaints]

I am stunned. I agree with Taylor Twellman, this is not a good thing but if we use the outrage to reset ourselves it can become a positive. Trouble is who can lead it and how do we do it.
