Pretty cool. I'm going to start saving money now because I am 100% going to be at one of the US games.
Naturally this corrupt ass city I live in isn't part of the bid because they didn't like the demands of the bid. So ridiculous at the 3rd
largest city in the country won't be hosting any games.
Yeah, also posted in the world cup thread that I went as a kid and can't want to go as an adult.
Yeah Chicago should be a lock. Cincinnati is included, but not Chicago. Insane....but not surprising that Chicago would mess this up with bureaucratic nonsense.Oh man, that's awesome that you went in 94. My dad isn't much of a soccer guy so that wasn't much of an option for me back then. I'll definitely be at a game or 2 in 2026.

That goal against Ghana in 2014 is one of my favorite goals ever. All that buildup to the World Cup with the group of death and he comes out and scores less than a minute into the game. Legend.0

That's awesome. I love Yedlin....crazy that he's now one of the veteran leaders for the US.0 -
More friendlies coming up next week and STILL no permanent coach in place. What the hell are they waiting for?!?0

Last I heard, Earnie Stewart said he wants to name a new coach before the end of the year. If that's true we should start hearing about interviews and candidates. I know as of last month they hadn't interviewed anyone yet, but Earnie had only been the GM for several weeks. Now we're another month in, so hopefully he's narrowed his options and will start talking with candidates. The end of the year is only 12 weeks away. Time to get busy, Earnie."I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please." EV, 04/13/080

I hate MLS single-entity bs, the low salary cap, DPs and TAM to get around caps, special favors done by the league for teams they're trying to market, no promotion / relegation possible with single-entity, etc... So I was very happy to "lose" DeAndre to Europe. My club took a hit in talent when he left, but it was absolutely the best move for his career."I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please." EV, 04/13/080 -

Oh well....I'm just happy with the amount of young American prospects that are playing in Europe right now. Would much rather have these guys getting regular time even in the 2nd/3rd divisions in these European leagues than playing in MLS. Check out the website American Soccer Now...they do a great recap after every weekend of all the American players that are playing abroad. There are quite a few guys that I'm not familiar with that are playing over there...good stuff.0 -
1 year since that horrible, horrible night in Trinidad. I was sick in bed with the flu all day and woke up just in time to watch them lose in fucking Trinidad. Still can't believe that really happened. And I still can't believe we don't have a coach in place yet. US Soccer is an embarrassment. They have so much money and so much young talent and have zero direction. It's hard to see any significant change ever taking place....good breakdown by Grant Wahl here.

Thanks for the link to that article. That was a really good, but disturbing piece. US Soccer is definitely an embarrassment. Will we at least get automatic qualification for the CAN/US/Mexico WC? Just wondering, because if we don't get our shit together soon, we'll be skipping Qatar (although I have no interest in a winter WC in Qatar, so I almost don't care). I guess we can let the process run for another several years, and then start prepping for our group stage ouster in our own country.
