They've been talking about getting rid of the auto bid for years now and it may finally happen since the field is expanding from 32 to 48 teams in 2026. I'm shocked we landed the world cup, no so much due to politics but I think the old more crooked FIFA (before the FBI arrests) would have sold the 2026 cup to Morrocco, just like they did to Qatar. Maybe things are getting better, we'll see. Edited June 13, 2018 by JSSkinz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the three nation bid certainly helped, and the fact that all of our infrastructure is in place didn't hurt. I also think the fact that we got robbed of the 2022 WC swung things in our favor. Yes, FIFA is still corrupt, but at least the right call was made this time. Oh, and they showed how the nations voted...oddly enough North Korea voted against us.

Berggy9598 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) Great news but it should been 2022 for the obvious ethical reasons. If all goes right in Pulisic's career this is his world cup. If they're smart they'll have the U.S's group playing on the east coast with the opener being in the NY/NJ area Edited June 14, 2018 by Berggy9598 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang on, I replied to a post saying FIFA isn't as corrupt as it used to be, and I am saying that is nonsense. I am not downing the US/Mexico/Canada winning at all. My point is only that everyone involved is corrupt. That's not being negative or dismissive. Its reality. You also responded to me first about this, and not vice versa. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPinstripe Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Just wanted to pop in and say that Landon Donovan can **** right off. And that goes also for guys like Omar who have played recently and are rooting for them. I dont want to see anyone wearing a US shirt who is actively rooting for our greatest rival. Edit- Im just still so disgusted with all of this, I gotta rant for a bit. This weak mentality is a part of why we have sucked and failed to qualify for this World Cup. Heck, Omar scored an own goal that was key to us not making it and then he proceeds to root for our rival. I dont want to see any of these players wearing a US shirt again outside of of course Pulsic, Yedlin, etc. If I see Jozy or Bradley wearing the US jersey Im going to go off. One of the images burned into my mind is Bradley jogging around with no urgency while we were about to crash out of WCQ. Donovan has trashed his legacy/good feeling from the very fanbase which has given him his fame. Dont want him near the US national team for any reason either. I can go on and on but I should probably stop here. Get this poisonous mentality away from the national team.

Kilmer17 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Omar SHOULD be rooting for other teams. He scores more often for them than he does for the US. And I agree. DOnovan can **** straight off. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did enjoy Pulisic liking Boca's comment on Donovans tweet, the boy gets it more than the guy who USED to be the face of US soccer.

FanboyOf91 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Just going to add to the general chorus of **** Off Donovan. Also, Klinsmann was wrong about many things but he was dead right about kicking this cancer off the team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landon is stupid and arrogant which is a terrible combination. He’s added “corporate slut” to his resume now. Zero respect for the man now, he was important when we needed him, but the game is bigger than he is, and the US game has moved beyond him.

He paved the the way for other losers like Dempsey Bradley etc to leave Europe for the easy money in the US. **** him 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this article a week or two ago, and while I’m not familiar with the authors, they seem to have an anti-Klinsmann bent. Now, Klinsmann has plenty to be critical of, especially as an in game tactician, IMO, but I also think he has done US Soccer a huge service by changing the thinking and culture of player development in the US. This promising young group of players that should make up the core of US teams for the next two World Cups are mostly plying their trade, and gaining top level development in European leagues. If the US ever wants to be a world soccer power, they must develop their players in the world’s top academies. US academies are growing, and getting better, but cannot hold a candle to the academies in Germany, Spain, France, England, Italy, and Netherlands. I also believe the US needs to do away with restricting American kids from signing overseas contracts before their 18th birthday. We’ve seen what MLS development does for the USMNT, and it ain’t pretty. I lay that blame squarely at the feet of Gulati, and his cronies. Good on Klinsmann for at least changing that culture. There’s still a ways to go though, and I’m not sure Cordeiro and Stewart are the right guys. Feels like more of the same old MLS **** to me.

abdcskins Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 ^ I hear you. I was making more of a cultural/sociological comment. Are all those Mexicans fans Mexican or American citizens? And if they are American, why are they cheering for Mexico? In the end it doesn't matter and they can cheer for whoever they want. Perhaps it is partly indicative of US soccer's failure to succeed. On another note, I'd like to see more national soccer tournaments other than the World Cup. That is the only time I actually care about US Soccer (as well as all the qualifiers). I really like watching soccer, I just wish there were more opportunities to watch it and be invested in it. I don't care about MLS or any other league in the world.

I would like to see us merge the Copa with the Gold Cup, the Copa Centenario was a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
