That just proves my point. All the teams you listed, sucked.
U.S. goes 1-1-2 and it’s great? We fire our coaches at Bama for that. Players too.
The fact that the goalie had so many saves just shows how inept the team was. Is. But “wait till next year”!
I don’t get it. I guess that’s on me. I don’t get excited about watching paint dry either.
I read today that the total USA team salary was $30 million.
That’s total - for all the players on the team.
Tom Brady gets that much sitting half the game on a bench for the year.
In contrast total salary for the Belgium Fusball team was $390 million.
Guess we got a ways to go.
I guess USA is getting the ‘great’ kudos for their team effort ( which was great in the final 15 minutes) , and in comparison to past years. I mean you could only be great in comparison to years past.
America is not yet a soccer powerhouse, and it was playing several major soccer nations, with much more history, what the US did this year was terrific.
BTW, in baseball and football, teams with .500 records and even losing records get into playoffs, so soccer isn’t exclusive.
p.s I would rather watch paint dry than watch baseball or frankly ‘football’. The latter is OK, but waaay too long. Soccer and rugby games are 90m and 80m.
