There is, but if their shit calls ratio isn't over a certain point, they get stuck being ARs and board holders
>>66348870
Last night the other thread was basically two turbo autists supporting NY teams hating the other for not liking what the other liked. Was sad.

>>66350260

>>66350260
It's not accurate at all. The Cosmos will never join MLS until someone else buys the team. And Beckham Utd is still on (for now)
>>66350260
Read the thread f@m, it's just a random mockup someone made.
>>66350294
>no
>>66350285
doesnt cosmos have oil money?
also I never understood why the strikers never wanted to join? they need a new owner. they seem to be pretty successful in the nasl level
>>66350260
>asking 4chan instead of google
This picture was wild conjecture from a couple years ago; only confirmed expansion teams are ATL and MIN next year, with MIA to follow once they have a stadium deal / team name.
Nothing else confirmed, oldness of OP confirmed by old MLS logo, which was changed to this a couple years ago already.
>>66350323
Cosmos are owned by a white guy with ties to Kroenke for the shirt sponsor. They're literally only being held together by Pele being alive
>>66350323
A MLS team failed in Tampa already. Times have changed but the league might get too crowded for Tampa.
Tampa has one thing going for them:
>SOLAR
>POWER
>EVERY
>HOUR
>>66350285
>Cosmos
NYC already has the Red Bulls and NYCFC, there will be no other NY teams.
REMINDER: The original NASL failed because Trump personally ran it into the ground.
>>66350362
They have meme power and Heather. The only thing you need to be in MLS tbqh
>>66350362
>Teams previously failed/folded in Tampa AND Miami.
If the Miami one is actually successful this time, we shall see.
I'd be curious to see if anyone wants to march to the match downtown in 100 degree heat, tho.
>>66350413
Hopefully Beckham FC really fixes up the area its in. I heard its in a really shitty area and you need to walk like 5 blocks through it to get from parking to the stadium.
It would be literally world class if they built some sort of covered street that leads to the stadium. It will be like that place in Vegas.
You dont even have to go all-out like vegas. you dont even need to build a structure... you could just cover it like pic related from Malaga.
>>66350474
>i used the wrong pic.
Malaga puts linens n shit up
>>66350490
Could've been worse.
>>66350323
NASLEL delusions
Also the strikers get only 4.4k a game
Which is more than a thousand less than average
>>66350362
Those teams failed because they couldn't get an owner to an owner willing to take the big losses those teams were having
Now since MLS is more stable, they might be apt to do it
>>66350739
There's a safety net in MLS now. It's why the Rowdies owner changed his mind and is in a hurry to build a 15k seater. Once you're in, you're free to be Kroenke and bask in shared revenue until you get enough GAM to do shit
>>66350806
I'm still not entirely convinced Bill Edwards would be willing to move to MLS
I'm pretty sure he's trying to convince the city that he's "attempting" to but the NASL delusions still run deep in him

Only three reasons why I think he'd do it is for a city funded stadium, a slice of that OCSC crowd and the NY transplant money 4-6 times a year.
>>66350853
>no key west
>not wanting to level everything on the historic island to make room for a stadium and surface level parking
>not wanting to sit on the 2 lane 7 mile bridge for 15 hours trying to get to the game.
>not wanting to sit in 100+ heat all the time
Taking a boat to the game would be cool tho.
>>66351215
Key West would actually be really cool. They could put the stadium on the water like they were thinking about doing in Miami. The only big concern I'd have would be the hurricanes though. And the drive would be hellishly long.
>>66351252
it would be funny if the state of florida just dumped all their resources into that and widened all the ports/harbors so shitloads of cruise ships could pull up to key west. Everyone goes on cruises from wherever to Key West to see their team when it's in town.
would be based but totally unpractical.
>>66351315
I'd be down for a soccer cruise to Key West. Depart from New Orleans if you're in the middle of the country and sail on the gulf. Would be cool.
>>66351315

>>66351381
>tfw no Viking River Cruises in the US
I see those commercials and want to do it really bad. I like being near water. It's comfy.
>Soon
On the subject of cruises, I thought I read somewhere people wanted to do a boat cruise to the match kind of thing for the Union, not sure if it was real but that would be pretty based
>>66351555
Some fucks were talking about it on twitter and here.
I'd be down, make a dock with a bar also so you can get some extra $$$
Also I think the ruin down building by the SoB lot should be made into a club house.

GIVE IT TIME.
>implying Sigi won't be fired by seasons end.
>implying he won't be replaced by someone to make you jelly
>implying greentext isn't Sounder colors.
>>66353171
Sounders fans don't realize that Sigi is a top 5 coach. They'll probably hire Backe or Kreis and flop even harder.
>>66353202
He's had 7 years to win MLS Cup with one of the most expensive rosters in MLS. Regardless of how good he is, which is debatable in 2016, its time for them to make a change.
>>66353386
Doesn't change the fact that if he gets fired, the next coach will inheret a team that only plays to Sigi's system. If you think last year was bad, new coach probably won't even make playoffs in the west.
>>66353423
Well they should have let him go at the end of last year, and let a new coach rebuild the team. Changing a coach mid season is a recipe for disaster.
Its still MLS, they can bring a Drogba tier DP in the summer and make the playoffs.
>tfw breaks suck
guess i'm off mlels for a bit.
>>66353519
MLS allows only 1 buyout in the offseason. You have to pray that somebody else buys all of your players because your waived players will still be on your salary cap.
>>66353202
If Sigi hasn't won a cup with carte blanche in this many years at the helm, SPOILERS: He's not a top 5 coach.
>>66353595
But he has?
>>66353550
Yeah it feels like shit. I don't know why the whole league didn't take a break.
>yfw you are going to destroy shitty MLS centrebacks
One year of hurt will soon be over, Orlando City lads
>>66353595
>>66353519
>>66353386
Don't let me stop you from fucking yourselves over by firing the only coach that knows how to work all those stars, though. If you think someone can step in and handle it, you're probably right
>Muh Pellers
>>66353661
>stars
Dempsey and?
>>66353685
Alonso, Ivanshitter, Valdez, Joevin and Brad Evans. But don't let me stop you from selling your players, you're probably right.
hey guys
im new to mls
has seattle won a title yet?
>>66353711
>implying any of those are stars
I'm not even a soundersfag, but you can tell that Sigi isn't making it work. Only 2 other coaches have been with the same team as long he has, Arena and Vermes, and both of them have won MLS Cup with their teams.
Yes, the fans that called for Sigi's head 2-3 years ago were wrong. LA owned MLS Cup, and there was just nothing you could do about it. Things are different now. Sigi in Seattle isn't working, and there's no reason to think that its magically going to start working.

That's the problem. It's closer to American sports where you have to phase players out gradually instead of just dumping them off to vitesse. The Sounders are basically the Knicks with draft picks

>>66354571
The only way pro/rel ever happens needs the following to occur first:
1) MLS to get too big to realistically expand anymore (30 teams, 3 conferences?)
2) NASL to survive until then and start bringing in additional markets, because 30 teams still leaves a lot of places to go
3) NASL figures out how to use their non-single-entity advantages to become a true major competitor
4) some ginormous NFL/AFL style merger happens to create a (closed) 2 or 3 division structure
This will probably never happen, but there is assuredly no other way the powers that be would ever allow it to happen

Hello folks , this is Pratt and Whitney stadium located in East Hartford, Connecticut. This is the nicest stadium in my state. It's right near downtown capital of the state and there's an international Airport near by.
We always host US Soccer friendlies and on April 6th, the Women will face Colombia.
Will we ever get a professional Soccer team at this location? The stadium is empty and it's basically only used for College Handegg. This place also has real grass , no Turf Crap.
There were plans for a team called Hartford City FC but it fell through because of Fruad. This would of been an eventual NASL bid. This is something my state needs !

Why does New York and Boston get to have everything? I'm perfectly fine with a Division 2 or 3 team playing here. I want to see some live footy after work regularly. The place sits here collecting dust apart from the occasional friendly or international cup

>>66368279
>The players can't be bad, the league's only gotten better
Between 0 Big 4 league representation and fans (much like yourself) going autistic for mediocre players "killing it" in MLS, the talent pool of the US has stagnated. We could have Claudio Motherfucking Ranieri coach this talent pool and he couldn't do shit.
>>66368349

>>66368457

Next you're going to tell me it was the ref's fault.
>>66368412
If jurgen actually had full control of the national team it would consist of german american navy brats and any other players developed in europe.
>>66368533
Tell me who you would've put out against a team full of pacy wingers. I'll wait.
>inb4 Miazgoat
He's slow as fuck and all of his red cards last season were on fouls against players that blew by him.
>>66368611
No anon, you're right, speedy wingers is unbeatable GOAT tactics, and there's nothing Klinsmann could do about it. Its only by the grace of god that Mexico survived.
>>66368686
>He thinks the US talent pool is on par with Costa Rica, let alone Mexico
>>66368706
>let alone Jamaica or Panama
>>66368686
You still didn't answer the original question.
>>66368734
>A PK loss which is literally a guessing game in a consolation game means anything
Your logic is bad, losing in PKs isn't akin to losing straight up. And how is firing Klinnsman going to un-stagnate our talent pool?
>>66368796
It's Panama
Going to PKs is a gigantic failure
>>66368739
Its a dumb question. The problem in that game wasn't even on the defense. Jamaica only had 3 shots on goal, compared to the US's 10. If we had better forwards than Zardes, Dempsey and Ice meme we might have won. Its almost surprising considering how shit Alvarado and Brooks are.
>>66368739
Jamaica's always had speedy players
The US hadn't lost to them before Klinsmann came
I'm all for him stepping down as either coach or TD, with a break from one he can do the other better, but it's delusional to think that these teams arent the best we have for whatever we're playing.
>>66369056
No
He's a complete disaster at both
>>66369037
The Jamaican players got better.
US talent has been the same.
Jamaica was in form throughout group stages
The US struggled through an easy group stage
What are you not understanding?
Jamaica was a dark horse throughout the tournament after a great group stage. Just because your pride for hurt doesn't change that the better team that day won.
>>66368995
You know what's even more pathetic? Panama was playing kickball instead of training the day before, and US still lost.
>>66368998
Exactly, american MLELS player aren't good. only one you listed that is good is brooks with the highest ceiling and actually playing consistently at 3rd place bundesliga team.
The problem with the USMNT at the Gold Cup isn't just about Jamaica. The team struggled in the group stage. Jamaica was just the final reckoning for a team that was just bad. Its not like Haiti all of sudden became a strong CONCACAF team that the US is lucky to beat. This is a problem deeper than simply the player pool.
>>66369141
The fact you're accepting this is why
This is fucking unacceptable
And he couldn't chalk it up to a fluke loss
Bradley lost to Panama in the group stage. It turned out to be inconsequential. But he still got fired because of it even though Bradley got them to the final. Klinsmann couldn't even do that.
It's still Jamaica
They had a guy from the USL in the fucking goal
They weren't better
>>66369182
Brooks was the one who cost the US the game
>>66369182
>"america can't win concacaf because mls players are bad"
>most concacaf teams start mls players
>>66369315
Jamaica also has more European players than we ever had
>>66369545
The two goals were scored by "MLELS" players
>>66369540
If we can't beat MLS players, that's not good
>>66369540
And the winner of concacaf had more players playing in better leagues, what's your point?
>>66369632
I'm pretty sure most of our gripes isn't about losing to Mexico
Although that sucks it's understandable
We didn't though
We didn't even get to that game
>>66369545
>Jamaica had 10 Euro players
>US had 9
I'm sure that one guy was the difference maker.
>>66369609
We can't beat MLS players, with other MLS players. This is a coaching problem.
>>66369735
Plus it's not like they had guys playing for big teams in Europe

FC Dallas wanted in on this
MLS really doesn't like playing mid-week matches
>>66370071
What kind of rebuttal can you have to a monkey throwing shit at you?
>>66370092
That's for the NASL, aka the MAC/Sun Belt of professional soccer.
>>66370019
Don't believe their lies anon. LAFC fucked up bad when they opted not to take in Chivas's old academy. It'd be a miracle if that clusterfuck got a USL team up and running in a year.
>>66370092
>7 players out
Yea, no, i really don't think FCD wanted an away game in DC during the international break. MLS sets the schedule.
>>66370145
And much like the MAC Sunbelt, I couldn't give a fuck if I tried
>>66370171
What lies?
I'm talking about them starting a USL team in prep for their MLS team
That's a good idea that Atlanta shoulda had
>>66370193
They have to opt in
Plus it's DC
>>66370193
If there's any game you want with 7 players out, it's DC away on an international break, as close to a closed door friendly you can get,
>>66370193
Dallas always starts hot. The more points they can rack up in the first 2 months the better for them. This all according to Pareja's plan.
>>66370236
>>66370240
>underestimating DC

>>66370240
It can and probably will backfire. Imagine your first team in USL getting their shit pushed in by 3rd division teams
>>66370224
Its spin anon. Their only hope of getting a USL team is if they just buy the OC blues.
>>66370171

>>66370274
Why?
Every other MLS team managed to get one with ease
>>66370297
The point would be
1. having a product
2. advanced tryouts for the jump to MLS
The focus isn't on the USL part but prep for next year
>>66370287
LA hired the coach, and brought in his players with him. LAFC was given a chance to take over the academy, but they passed because they didn't want to have anything to do with Chivas. That's understandable, but Chivas's academy was considered to be up there with Dallas and Red Bulls, and LAFC let it go.
Now most of those players are getting onto Galaxy 2.
>>66370485
>but they passed because they didn't want to have anything to do with Chivas
why?
>>66370545
Chivas being a complete failure in LA isn't what you want associated with your team. It's going to be interesting to see how the academies fight for kids,
>>66370545
I don't know how new you are, but there was some serious bad blood when Chivas shut down. It still was a bad decision though. Its not like people weren't going to support LAFC just because they had some of Chivas's U-14 and U-12 players.
>>66370608
You'd think they'd embrace all of the cholos' kids.
>Soon
Technically, the very first AUFC goal was scored today by some U-12 kid in Dallas for the Generation Adidas cup.
>>66370638
Those Cholos are moving to LAFC, but they're not the target demo that LAFC management wants.
The bosses would much rather have the white millennials that are moving downtown.

McNamara is fairness. He only maintains equilibrium of the world. Therefore he only scores when he judges the team to be worthy of his goal.
>>66370914
As long as my fantasy team is worthy of his points.
>Omar Gonzalez would had to have taken a 50% pay cut to stay wth the Galaxy
He was overpaid immensely
>>66371293
And now he's improving in a better league, everything turned out better in the end
>>66371293
A few seasons ago he injured himself in preseason or something, and LA had a historically bad start to the season. The front office panicked and realized they had to keep him even if it meant giving a defender a DP contract. Plus, they were hoping he'd have a good world cup, and they could sell for a few million to some EPL team.
>>66368547
>fill the team with bobby wood, christian pulisic, john brooks, fabian johnson, and players like them

>>66371722
If they lose to Canada that wouldn't be a MLS problem
But this hypothetical situation isn't real so I don't see your point
>>66371798
>yfw you see an mls backline
it's very real
>>66371797
Jozy dominated the Dutch league and Diskerud has never been good
>>66371798
My point being that all people want is someone with a name they know coaching instead of Jurgen. When it doesn't work out, they'll still only blame the coach. If Jocelynn Gourvennec was announced the new USMNT coach, they'd wish Jurgen was back.
>>66371838
So a MLS player dominates a MLS backline?
>>66371786
But Klinsmann is getting paid millions to make it less bad, and its only getting more bad each year.

>>66372067

Cameron's okay but he's not above MLS level

>>66372173
But he's consistently scoring goals.
>inb4 i-its second division!
bundesliga 2 is around the same level of mls
>>66371985
With what standard are you gauging Klinnsman? Why is it that the people that want him out never look at the players he has to work with?
>He's done no better than Bradley
Bradley had the best American lineup ever, in their prime and did fuck all with it. If Klinnsman had in their prime Dempsey, Donovan, Holden, Wondo and Howard, bed probably do a hell of a lot better too.
>>66372267
You undid your argument there
People only know Wood from 3 goals, 2 of which weren't really of his doing
Plus Altidore was the same way in the Netherlands and people throw that out
>>66372418
If we're undoing arguments, you're giving Mix way more credit than "he's never been good"
>>66372418
Oh please, you're not going to tell me that zardes is somehow less memier then wood
>>66372295
>Bradley had the best American lineup ever
Bradley had to start Jonathan Bornstein in a do-or-die world cup game
Bradley had a prime Dempsey and Donovan but Klinsmann had a prime Bradley who he trashed, a midfield partner to go with Bradley and much more stability everywhere else
Besides, SINCE the world cup the US have THE worse they've been since the early 90's before MLS was even started
Bradley lost to Panama in the Gold Cup but at least he convinced us it could just have been a fluke
Klinsmann fluked his way out of the group last year
That's not acceptable
>>66372560
Zardes has at least put in a few full length performances
>>66372480
Mix was shitty in the Tippeligaen
His shittiness in MLS isn't on MLS
>>66372590
klinsmann wishes he had a prime bradley
>>66372590
Klinnsman never had Prime Bradley
>>66372709
>>66372718
What part of "prime Bradley who he trashed" did you not understand?
He's still better than Bob Bradley's Michael Bradley
>>66372765
klinsmann didn't coach bradley to turn over the ball in midfield multiple times
>look at this poorly placed pass, guys!
>>66372765
Bob Bradley trashed his son. Putting him in almost every lineup when he wasn't right for the system fucks a player up.
>>66372836
Klinsmann put Bradley from a deep-lying position to a fucking #10 which he had no business playing in
>>66372846
>Putting him in almost every lineup when he wasn't right for the system fucks a player up.
Wow
How true is this statement
I mean it's less right about Bradley than Klinsmann but thank you for making my point
>>66372941
>He's been fucked up by Bob first, but it's only not okay when Klinnsman does it.
Why do you not like him? Because this is obviously beyond his actual tactics.
>>66372999
Why are you defending him?
Do you suck his dick?
Is this meme finally over?
>>66373033
>Ask a legitimate question
>LOL YOU SHILL
I'm not defending him, like I said he needs to pick TD or coach and focus on one. This anti-Klinnsman, pro-players sentiment has been around since post-2014 WC babbies got into soccer. I want to know why you think he's not the right fit for the team.
>>66373087
>tfw jordan morris still hasn't scored
at least we have bobby wood
>>66373113
The disaster that was the gold cup lifted the rose-colored glasses from my eyes and revealed just how awful his tenure has been
>I said he needs to pick TD or coach and focus on one
You realize just how bad he's been at both?
How far back he's set the program?
>>66373180
When you're coach and GM you tend to have a hard time doing both. He needs a Pat Riley puppet. And nothing could get worse than Bruce Arena era USMNT development. It was IMG academy or nothing. At least there's actual youth being coralled up.
>>66373270
Most of the advancement has been from MLS, not from USSF
And he should at see how badly his youth coaches are fucking up
>hurr durr is Klinsmann's fault that we are shit
Honestly my gringo friends you've always had a shit pool of players, if you ever became somewhat decent was because of this magnificent bastard, this guy single handedly won every meaningful game for you, now without him your team is showing what it really is, a bunch of gringos with no technique mixed with european mercenaries with no heart, is not Klinsmann's fault that he can't deliver on his promise when he doesn't have the talent to play attacking soccer.
>>66373390
but klinsmann forced him out of the team
anything that results after that is squarely on him
>>66373390
We should at least beat Jamaica and Panama
Based Becks has his PRIME LAND in Miami
LANYMIA Broship incoming
>>66373472
he was old and lazy
How much of a bust will this Copa America be?
Pretty sure it'll have just slightly higher viewership than the gold cup and will get crushed by the Euros
>>66373472
because Donovan was done, the guy was practically retired, at least he won you the 2013 Gold Cup before officially retiring.
>>66373474
Jamaica and Panama aren't as shit as they used to be, Panama outplayed our team until they self destructed in the GC and Jamaica aren't a bunch of amateurs anymore, their squad is full of players from England and MLS.
If anything MLS is going to hurt the USMNT, they are giving a pro environment to all these central american and caribbean players where they can develop properly while limiting the opportunities to young american players by signing those same central americans and old fucks like Lampard, Pirlo and Gerrard.
>>66373791
It's still Panama and Jamaica
It's unacceptable
But above that the way they played there's no way it could be considered a fluke
>old fucks like Lampard, Pirlo and Gerrard
Again there's just like 8 of those
>>66373871
>It's unacceptable
why? is not like your team is incredibly talented and you only lost at penalties against Panama who are a tough team, the result against Jamaica was a fluke but shit happens.
>>66374058
It's more talented than Panama and Jamaica
Losing to them is something that hasn't happened before 2011
Bradley lost to Panama in the group stage but it actually looked like a fluke
But it seemed that the US getting to the smei final was a fluke in 2015
The US under Bradley wouldn't have been so fucking shaky on defense
>>66374232
>It's more talented than Panama and Jamaica
barely, actually when you compare Jamaica and the US if you don't count the german-americans the squads look pretty similar in terms of strength, as I said Panama is a tough team, they were close to beat us as well in the same tournament so there is nothing wrong about you guys tying against them.
>>66374522
>the german-americans
>good
stop reading there
Stop trying to devalue us
Klinsmann's trying his best to get us there
>>66374587
Fabian Johnson is literally our best player right now. Christ garber, how long are you gonna keep this >le mls players are really! good up?
>>66374640

Thats mah dawg,
what's out chances of playoff football this season?
>>66374697
and the hyped up domestic american players like memeis and zardes are complete trash with their shitty touches and passes.
The problem with Klinnsman is that he refuses to play to the few strengths of the players he has, he won't play Bradley in his best position and he has tried to implement a style that requires a level of skill that the players can't support. The strength of the USMNT has always been athleticism and physicality and Klinnsman doesn't want to play that way
>>66374871
I'll still take them over those disastrous yuros
Also Klinnsman changes lineups so much the players have no time to develop any chemistry which is especially hard on the back line
>>66374824
I'd say pretty good, but it is a Philly sports team so they might end up choking.
Before the season started I thought at best they would get the 6th play off spot but they could finish higher than that. We'll see.
>>66374894
Then you're just as delusional as klinnsman
>>66374876
You don't win world cups by outrunning your opponents.
>>66374522
>the squads look pretty similar in terms of strength
Seeing as how it was the same squad as the World Cup one, do you think Jamaica or Panama would've made it out of the group stage in Brazil?
>>66374871
Domestic American players will only start to be effective once they stop being so over hyped and actually get some time to develop without being treated like the answer to all the teams problems
>>66374962
We're not going to win world cups by losing to Jamaica and Panama
>>66374697
maybe Johnson is one of those who feel german and only played for the US because it was good for his career, after all he got to play a WC, got a move to a good Bundesliga team and he'll probably get a huge ass offer from MLS in the near future, he probably wants to focus on his european career while he can, the guy is 28 already, at best he has 3 years left before he has to move to MLS, better not risk it getting injured against CONCACAF squads.
>>66374871
>implying anyone hypes zardes
Even Galaxyfags want him gone.
>66374992
>(you)
>>66374962
You can win world cups by out working opponents it's how the US has been able to score late goals by having more energy at the end of games and by using physicality to capitalize on set pieces. But more what I was saying is the team isn't gonna win by ignoring those strengths that doesn't mean they have to totally rely on them either
>>66374969
if Ghana and Portugal played as shitty as they did, maybe. After all everyone thought that Costa Rica would get raped in their group and they almost made it to the semis.
>>66375012
>getting this triggered
>>66375012
Do you do this every time someone criticize your poor little league?
>>66375108
What kind of rebuttal can you make to a monkey throwing shit at you?
>>66375153
An actual rebuttal instead of looking like an 8 year old throwing a tantrum
>>66375108
>Jamaica: mls and championship players
>panama: mls and panamanian league players
>usa: mls and bundesliga players
If USA is the worst of these 3, there's something wrong with either the coach, or bundesliga.
>>66375171
Then give me one
>>66375176
is not the worst of the three but there is barely a difference, there are only two good Bundesliga players in the US squad and as your own fans say they rarely deliver at international level.
>>66375215
>>66375153
The mexican was literally making a neutral comment, you dumbass
>>66375248
>there are only two good Bundesliga players in the US squad and as your own fans say they rarely deliver at international level.
Then why do they keep getting called up?
>>66375287
because there are no better options I suppose
>>66375287
The same reason Woy always calls Rooney up. Or why TSUUU always gets called up for Poortugal
>>66375176
It means American mlels players are inconsistent and bad.
>>66375320
>no better options
Thats not how team sports works. Players are only good in so far as they work in a certain system. If there aren't better players for Klinsmann's system there must be something wrong with the system.
>>66375434
You're literally saying that a team that works great together is better than a team with great talent that depends on 1 or 2 players. 7-1 was literally the proof against that.
>>66375251
>that
>neutral
Pull your head of your fucking ass you fucking Yurocuck
>>66375571
He has a more neutral view of Klinnsman than anyone in this thread.
>>66375434
It is when the other options add even less to the team and don't fit in any better. Though there certainly is an element of "muh superior league" to it
>>66375571
Nigger you dumb as fuck.
>>66375554
>one meme result disproves proven model for success
Yeah, and >we are just one "American Messi" away from World Cup glory.
The US just hired Klinnsman too early we may have the talent to play the system/style he wants in 10 years but right now we just don't and Klinnsman hasn't shown the flexibility to make the most of what he does have
>>66375600
While shitting on American talent
We may suck, but again I stress losing to Jamaica and Panama is unacceptable because we're better than them
>>66375637
It's not just one meme. The Swedish NT is literally "Hoof it to Ibrahimovic" The Team and they win more than they lose.
>>66375640
>too early
Klinsmann has a shitty track record outside of coaching the US
Why the fuck do you people keep insisting that "H-he's doing the best he can"?
>>66375640
>the system/style he wants
He doesn't have a "system/style". Why do you think he's been fired from all his previous jobs?
I need games info for the next thread.
>>66375644
Clearly we aren't.
Just take the L bro.
>>66375320
Define "better"
He hasn't really tried other options
How do we know they're not better?
>>66375644
You or one of your pro mls friends has been shitting on german american players. An american is an american.
>>66375701
We are better than them
And if we aren't, then he should be fired for letting the standard slip this low
>>66375710
What?
>>66375682
I'm making no judgement on whether he's doing his best or not just saying he's a bad fit for the current player pool
>>66375687
I just know the style he likes to talk about which is much more possession and passing oriented than the US has been in the past and it's a nice idea but we don't have the players to pull it off
>>66375772
scroll up
>>66375778
And the "shaky as fuck" is?
If our only way is being defensive-minded, then Bradley was better at that. Give him another chance
>>66375778
>the style he likes to talk about which is much more possession and passing oriented than the US has been in the past and it's a nice idea but we don't have the players to pull it off
Then you change. If you can't find the players to do what you want, you go what the players can. If Klinsmann can't grasp rule #1 of coaching than he should be fired.
>>66375807
I don't understand how calling out the German-Americans for under-performing undermines my point
We should still win

I originally said he was the only okay one
You're the one twisting words
>player pool is weak meme
No.
His Gold Cup squad had 17 players from his World Cup squad. You can't say Klinsmann deserves credit for advancing at the World Cup, and then not criticize him when he looses in the Gold Cup with the same squad.
Now if you want to say that making the round of 16 in Brazil wasn't an accomplishment because "group of death" was just a meme that's another issue. If that's the case, then what has Klinsmann accomplished? Winning some friendlies is Europe?
>>66375749
>then he should be fired for letting the standard slip this low
it isn't his fault that the best american player in history retired and that MLS isn't able to produce talent better than central america and the caribbean countries, he has to work with what he has available and it isn't much.
>>66376196
>it isn't his fault that the best american player in history retired
It literally is.
>>66376205
how so?
>>66376235
>doesn't know about the long standing feud between Landy Cakes and Klansmann
>inb4 hurr Landon was shit
>66376196
What am I supposed to do with this?
It's clearly wrong, but replying will be like playing chess with a pigeon
>>66376268
oh well then tell the history, I don't know shit about that.
>>66376337
It doesn't fucking matter
Klinsmann's best stretch of games was in 2013 when Landon wasn't available
He wasn't God
He wasn't irreplaceable
We did take it to Portugal for 45 minutes without him
And we could have made the semis of the gold cup without him
Jamaica's best player was Giles Barnes
He's a pretty good MLS player, but he's not the best player or worthy of making the MLS best XI
>tfw can't wait for memeis to get exposed even more in the u-23s tommorow
>>66376458
Why?
What good does that do?
Do you have Shittle more than you love America?
>>66376337
Landon was on loan to Bayern at the same time Klinsmann was head coach there. Klinsmann didn't like him then, and didn't like him 4 years later for the national team.
Particularly with the national team, this goes back to a system issue. Klinsmann wanted to get away from the counter attack game that Landon was so good in.
>>66376400
>Klinsmann's best stretch of games was in 2013 when Landon wasn't available
Jozy hot streak.
>>66376482
*hate
>>66376482
If you really love america, you wouldn't want him near any of the national team. But since US lacks any good young forwards or a deep talent pool in general, he's the only one available.
>>66376482
Can you just fuck off back to r/mls already.
>>66376549
But why do you want him to fail?
Why would you want any player to fail?
He's there; nothing you can do about it
Just hope he does well
>>66376400
>He's a pretty good MLS player, but he's not the best player or worthy of making the MLS best XI
how many americans would make that MLS best XI?
>>66376622
Why do you want exposing him over any sort of Olympic team success?
What good does that do?
>>66376622
>actively rooting against your own NT
you're the one who needs to fuck off to reddit, friend
>>66376638
Plenty
Including plenty that Klinsmann ignores
>>66376649
>>66376661
This nigga already got exposed, he isn't going to improve.
>all these teams
Where's Didico's team?
>>66376691
like?
>>66376704
trust me, i want him off seattle's roster as soon as possible
but since he's got a spot on the NT, might as well root for the kid to not embarrass the USA
>>66376732
6 of the top 10 assist leaders in MLS last season were Americans
Only one of them got called in regularly
>>66376750
>i want him off seattle's roster as soon as possible
Why would you want that?
Why can't you take a neutral position and give a fuck how he does for Seattle?
>>66376802
because for some reason i'm a seattle fan and the kid has done jack shit for >us
>>66376750
or you want him so exposed that he never gets called up again for the national team. I don't want any more mediocre players lingering on the rosters.
