Retired US Soccer / World Cup Thread (RIP)

tale of 2 halves.

Trying to recall a match that didn't go pear shaped when we start running mass substitutions like we do in these friendlies. Mexico, terrific first half, ended up giving away 2-0 lead and tied. Czech Republic game we went from having the better of play to hanging on for dear life for much of the 2nd half. Ecuador match last week, Honduras last night. Never seen us maintain any kind of rhythm.

Yeah I did. Looks like they just went up. Worst case scenario is RT from CLT to DUB for 685.00 and then catch a flight from DUB to LHR for around 50.00
 
The only meaningful takeaway from these last two matches to me is that we may finally have a quality left footed, left back in Greg Garza. He's looked pretty solid to me both defending and going forward.
 
What a lame cop-out of an excuse!

The German judge overseeing Fifa’s investigation into the controversial bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups has insisted that the report cannot be published in full for legal reasons, but promised an overview of the main findings by the middle of next month.
Hans-Joachim Eckert, the chair of the adjudicatory arm of Fifa’s ethics committee, received the potentially explosive 360-page report and 200,000 pages of supporting documents from Michael Garcia, the former US attorney for the southern district of New York who is head of the investigatory arm, last month.
Ever since, a battle has raged over whether and when it will be published. Garcia and several members of the Fifa executive committee have called for it to be published in full, with names redacted to protect whistleblowers, in order to help restore Fifa’s battered credibility.
Eckert has now moved to clarify the situation in an interview posted on Fifa’s website, promising to deliver a statement by mid-November at the latest but again ruling out full publication of Garcia’s report.
“The statement will contain an overview of the investigation report, a summary of the main findings, conclusions and recommendations of the report, as well as a brief evaluation of the same,” he said.
The German judge, appointed as part of Fifa’s reform process as it tried to come to terms with the fallout from a string of corruption allegations, said that because those interviewed had been promised confidentiality it would be all but impossible to publish the report in full.
“Publishing the report in full would actually put the Fifa ethics committee and Fifa itself in a very difficult situation legally,” he said. “What is more, we have to respect the personal rights of the people mentioned in the report, which in the case of full publication of the report would in all likelihood not be possible.”

Holy fuck, that's some serious bullshit.

How about saying "it's a embarassment that our fans and players always seem to get involved in this kind of shit, no matter what starts it - and we're going to clamp the fuck down to make sure it doesn't happen again" - JUST ONE FUCKING TIME.

His implosion over Klinsmann's comments wad ridiculous.

Specifically how? He was doing his job. There's about a 0% chance the owners didn't send him out there with the directive to fire back after Jurgen was openly telling players not to sign with their league, how they need relegation (putting their investments at risk), and even outwardly suggesting that MLS wasn't the best league in the country. Was MLS just supposed to sit back and let Klinsmann take public shits all over it whenever he desired?

They brought in a guy on football weekly yesterday that was there and he tried to be diplomatic but by the end he made the fans sound like the guiltiest party.
 
You don't like Serbian fans?

I don't know guys, chanting "death to all the albanians" probably means something else in that culture
