U.S. Men's National Soccer (Official Thread)

So [censored] ESPN for playing 2 30 for 30s despite the DTV guide saying soccer. Guess I didn't miss much.

Had the same thing this morning when my DVR read "To be Announced" instead. Had to switch it from ESPN2 to ESPN.

Hope you enjoy ESPN's new plan of trying to attain rights of single, non-U.S. national teams (like Germany, Mexico and England). Can't be that expensive and allows them to fill time.

They're doing this in addition to the Mexican League, while NBC Sports / beINSport get the rights to the U.S. National Team.

The defense of this team is going to be the downfall down the road, unless they fix some things. Some ugly play in the back as the game went on today


Who at USA Soccer is in charge of teaching defense? They need to be replaced ASAP.
Outside of the run in 2002, I can't think of a time with Team USA had a formidable defense.

Who identifies that each player is better suited for defense rather than offense?
That department needs a 100% re-structuring.

You must have forgotten about Jeff Agoos on that 2002 side. Brad Friedel's goalkeeping papered some deficiencies and mistakes in that defense.
