Some of you are fucking stupid; wishing injury on an opposition player because of a rivalry? I'm rooting hard for a Michigan win, but JT has done nothing to provoke ill-will, it's just a football game
That is your fault for watching CONCACAF, which, in my opinion, is the worst qualifying group with automatic places (excluding Asia). The UEFA tourneys and the CONEMBOL qualifiers have entertaining matches.International soccer will not be as mesmerizing as club soccer mostly because the time to develop chemistry is not there; but to say the players don't care is hogwash--did you not watch/read about Messi and Roman Torres delivering for their respective countries?
The writing was on the wall during the 2014 World Cup; it was the last push of an ageing Golden Generation coupled with Klinsmann's tactics covering the deficiencies of the team. In a one-off tourney, tactics, discipline, and luck can overcome talent, as proven by Greece and Portugal in the UEFA tourney.
But 3 years later, it is inexcusable for USMNT to still rely on players way past their best. The current squad doesn't have the requisite quality, outside of Pulisic and a few other youngsters like Yedlin. And that is on the US soccer federation. People blamed Klinsmann, but without him, the US would not have progressed through the group stages in the last World Cup. Losing Brooks was a massive loss, but relying on Dempsey, Bradley, Beasely, Howard and expecting Jozy Altidore to transorm into a player he has never been (outside of misguided hype) are the primary reason for thos team's decline.
Even had they qualified, they would not have made it out of the group stage.
It is a shame that he doesn't have teammates comparable to his talents; he will end his career as the best field player in US history, but he'll have to become what Zlatan Ibrahimovic is to Sweden for future USMNT to succeed.
God damn, this game will prematurely age me. This team will be remembered for this performance--nearly shit the bed to take victory back from the bowels of defeat. So much heart.
I'm a bit biased toward track and field; and, admitting ignorance regarding swimming, it seems as if swimming lends itself to potential success over a wider range of distances than track and field

Is this a parody account? Or you're actually serious about your delusion?
Stanford?

Thank God for Higdon
Feel for Pulisic...he'll be wasted in international competitions
It is a shame that he doesn't have teammates comparable to his talents; he will end his career as the best field player in US history, but he'll have to become what Zlatan Ibrahimovic is to Sweden for future USMNT to succeed.
Messi has been suspended for 4 games; Argentina has 5 more qualifiers (including tonight)
Crazy ending...WOW. leave him for an open shot
Hope they do
Can you carry the ball without dribbling when it is passed to you?
Wrong reply
They showed up to make victory seem attainable. Looking forward to a new, revamped QB, RB, and O-line next year
Two games in a row that end with the refs not making the right call. I know it is 4th down, but make the fucking call.
What the fuck ref? Early jump!
This fucking game, like this year, has been unpredictable. What hell will happen next?
Lewis was roasted there
Fuck, it isn't over
God damn, this game will prematurely age me. This team will be remembered for this performance--nearly shit the bed to take victory back from the bowels of defeat. So much heart.
Fuck Tressel. Just glad they didn't show the Crable hit on Smith---smh
Turned it off once they started the DUI story. Unnecessary for ESPN to show the video and talk about it.
Desmond, dishing out the truth on OSU
He would...he's been dogging Jabrill since the summer. But he'll witness Jabrill's greatness in-person this afternoon.
My buddy is there with an anti-Jabrill sign. Want to see him and his friends regret awaking early to make those signs.
Klinsmann should've applied for the England job when his stock was high
Where is Julian Green?
Wow! So both Ghana and the US won't make the next World Cup
As I told a friend, Pulisic has arrived 10 years late; the current US squaisn't good enough to utilize fully his talents.
Well, it has been a year of change and improbable victories
Only Chicharito could be offsides on a 2 v2 break
Marquez, the grandpa with the winner
Great block
The Mexico player who continues those fucking stupid back flicks to noone should be pulled immediately
Good turn and shot by Wood
How is that Besler's only yellow?
Mexico losing composure; rushing everything
That should be a yellow; could've been red
How many more fouls can you commit before seeing a second yellow?
What the hell? Guardado, now Howard
This game is ridiculous; Mexico should be up three goals, and the US nearly tied it
Howard keeping it from Tres a Cero
Seriously, Mexico's decision making near the box has been so wasteful...keep killing attacks they worked hard to create
Should've been the score anyways
Mexico, why are your passes into the box so poor?
Butt is a beast, despite not getting the first down.
Darboh!!!
What if your accomplished, Saban-boss is also pms'ing?
