A buddy sent me this today. I find it fascinating how much the game has changed in 20 years.

Believe we used to call that “boom ball.” Exhilarating and awful all at the same time.

Like watching middle or high school soccer sometimes.

Isn't Antonee Robinson technically British?

Isn’t basically 2/3rds of our team from other countries…yes.

I still highly rate Musah. Very good at advancing the ball and dribbling through a press. I will admit that he did not play well against Uruguay, as he had some very sloppy first touches.

Tbh, I don’t think he can play next to Adams and McKennie anymore, maybe just one of them. Adams can be reckless with how often he can be out of position, which is why I would still really like to see more of Cardoso.

I didn’t used to think much of him, but that Aidan Morris kid I guess had been playing well enough to cause a move to a Championship side.

Don’t get me wrong, I really like Musah…he just didn’t show much in this tourney. So, totally agree with you.

It’s an interesting point you make with him and the other two. I like Adams more than McKennie…but you bring up an interesting thought.

I didnt even notice Musah on the field.

Whatever the issue is we better figure it out in 2 years or it's going to be more embarrassing than the Copa. I don't expect us to win, but we have to get to the knockout round to feel successful.

Good to see a Concacaf team in the 3rd place game coached by an American. Sad the US couldn't get there.

Semifinals or bust on home soil. Maybe the expanded tourney format makes a quarterfinals not embarrassing, but I kinda doubt it

I'm to lazy to look...what is our word ranking?

I don't really expect that they make it, but that seems like it ought to be the goal unless we're ready to accept that this player pool isn't any more talented and perhaps even less talented than some of their predecessors, e.g. 2002, 2010

13 at the moment somewhat inexplicably

Sure it’s a great goal. But just got eliminated in copa america in group play. That’s a giant leap. Love the optimism.

It's not really optimism as much as it should have been the goal for 2026 all along, but yeah it'd be a giant leap

I could name 25-30 teams who are miles better than the US just off the top of my head.

Copa América final chaos: Game delayed, fans stuck outside after gates breached, police response

Less than an before the Copa América final between Argentina and Colombia, many people were stuck outside closed gates, which had earlier been breached by apparently un-ticketed fans.

Had a guy from Cockeye Western on that Canadian team
