Type of game they used to bunt it around, Michael Bradley would dribble to dribble, and they’d try and eek out a 2-0 victory.

I don’t recognize what I’m watching

USA 6 - El Salvador 0; is the USMNT that good or did El Salvador play without a goalie?

There's a decent possibility that if they had to play a game that mattered tomorrow, no one in this match would start in it. (and like 5 or 6 might be on a 23 man roster)

Its 3 if you believe these guys (I don't)

Damn near, the defending was just flat out trash. Even on Muellers 2nd goal (the nifty header), they just walk out to Araujo and were like, "Hey, if you want an uncontested cross from 5 yards outside the box, I'd take it now, lest I walk more quickly to get there and stop you."

They put their hands up begging for the offsides call like seasoned vets, though.

I’m gonna be honest... I keep waiting for management level and above to screw this up.... I’m waiting for USA soccer to call home all our 1st Tier guys in Europe claiming they need to be the face of MLS and ruining any chance we got at competing in the next several WCs

You wonder if Berhalter just Herb Brooksed their asses. There’s little other explanation for them not fucking it up so far.

So basically, Cliff Notes version, USA hockey hires Herb Brooks after get destroyed by Russia like since 1960. Herb shows up the first day of camp where there are like 100+ guys waiting to try out, and in like an hour he writes like 30 names for a 20-man roster (I probably have the numbers slightly off). USA hockey brain trust (used very loosely) freaks out because they all think they should have a say in who makes it. Memorable line, guys yells at Herb “you didn’t even pick the best players!” to which Herb says “I’m not looking for the best players, I’m looking for the right ones”. All the other darlings of the “old guard” get sent home. Herb then beats the shit out of who he kept, cuts it to 20, and wins gold medal.

So bottom line...coach wanted his guys, the “Federation” pushed back, he said fuck off, then mic drops an eventual gold medal.

They're gonna need about 100 guys to get through next year tho.
