Re: World Soccer XXVII: The REAL Football

I get why USA/Mexico is held in Columbus now. The town is buzzing with anticipation. Seen people in USA gear all around downtown Columbus this afternoon. The stadium should be electric tonight with The American Outlaws accounting for ~8000 of the 20,000 seats. This WILL NOT be "Azteca North" like the Rose Bowl has become. So happy to be checking this off my Sports Bucket List.

I am really apprehensive about this game...

Sure looked like Bradley was heavily fouled on that first MEX goal.

I believe the US is now officially in danger of not qualifying...

FOX is going to be annoyed that they're paying billions of American dollars for an international event in the middle of the night with no American team.

I'm sure folks will find a way to blame it on the player pool...

2-0 Ticos now. US will be dead last in the Hex.

Re: World Soccer XXVII: The REAL Football

3-0.

And Klinsmann will still have a job.

Edit: 4-0 now.

So let's just say you get what you have wanted and he is fired...who is he replaced with that could do better?
Realistically...Who could the U.S. get?

Oscar Pareja.
Bob Bradley.
Jason Kreis.

And those are just 3 off the top of my head.

Bradley?
The guy who had this job and people constantly complained about him?
Pareja isn't likely happening.
I doubt Kreis would do better than Klinsmann.
Putting people in the right spots is a problem...but I don't think a different coach fixes this.

Re: World Soccer XXVII: The REAL Football

How is it even possible to give up four goals in a soccer game? Let alone to a country the size of metro Boston.

DO NOT play the "talent pool" card. This CR lineup was largely MLS players and the US started what? 5 players from the Bundesliga? These two games are all on Klinsmann.

Who's the new coach? Somebody from the BPL?
