Ahh so many good points by Hollywood and Acamp. I wish I could respond. This new job is killing my IE time.

Pink eye my man, pink eye. The only reason I'm able to respond is because I'm at home with my first ever case of pink eye. Or else I'd be reading and itching to reply but unable to do so.

Pink eye, pfft... I respond bc I have no life and tons of time on my hands, beat THAT!!... Wait.... What?


I'm not crying for teams like AJAX, Chelsea, Celtic, Man U, Porto etc... Okay, maybe for Celtic....

Just sayin the fair play rules combined with the Spanish distribution of league funds has greatly impacted the quality of European competition for the worse, so as a result I'm pretty against watching Liga games...

I definitely wouldn't make a case the US is about to supplant one of the top five nations in soccer, that would require us spending more on soccer than football most likely................... So....

But I do think we have the resources to put together a golden generation or two that may be able to truly compete here and there... And even now were up there among the best nations in the world (top 25 or so) which is a HUGE doing considering our program was one of the worst in the world when I was born.

As for the MLS, I def think they can compete with the top leagues quicker than the national team probably can, and are already a top ten~ league... which also is amazing considering where it was pre Beckham, it's a legit league now, period. So when I hear even stories of third parties talking about the MLS being a joke, ( Emcee's buddy, not you) I respond. Anyhow...

I just can't watch a random game like Stoke/ Hull, boring to me, but I can enjoy a UnionvCrew game for example, just me... Absolutely can't watch La Liga at all, under any circumstance... Again just me.

And if the mls is garbage then every single league in the world outside of big five is 'garbage' bc the MLS is already among the next teir down...

You want to watch some really entertaining footy, turn on a game between two Prem teams trying to avoid relegation.

My favorite league is Bundesliga. German teams don't spend stupid money, they fill up their stadiums, and if I recall, they share their TV money equally.

Have watched more Bundesliga this year, I do enjoy it, def jumped on Dortmund's bandwagon back before Gotze bolted (fecking bastard) ... Liking what I'm seeing from Borussia since the break, looking much better.

Not trying to be "that guy" but I find MLS just about unwatchable. I want to support it, I want them to succeed, but it is not entertaining to me. I just get frustrated watching it. Not to hammer it too much, but, I'd rather watch just about any Euro league over MLS.

Deandre Yedlin has just come on for Spurs to make his debut. They are 1-0 down with 5 mins left vs Aston Villa. Good moment for him and US Soccer.

Man U has really found its form, and City has really lost it. Great stuff today from the Red Devils.

I'm honestly not sure City won't fall out of the top 4, the way they are playing.

So I may not even watch tonight,which would be the first USA/ dirty step children game I've missed in maybe a decade?? I just can't believe what happened to this team since losing to Belgium... Shea on our back four? I mean, really?? Smh...

I fear it'll get really ugly tonight, which is a shame be our country should never lose to theirs in anything that is any kind of a priority to both... ( yes I'm already drinking, and angry)

All he has been doing is experimenting. I'd rather be playing shitty now than this summer. We're starting a college kid tonight... lol.

Fuck Mexico. Been dating one for almost two years. Love all aspects of Mexican culture, but I will always absolutely hate that team... In particular Gio Dos Santos and Rafa Marques

I will say this... I've been on the usmnt for a long long time, and I vivdly remember the days in the late 90s early 2000s where our only chance was to drop back like an Italian defense and hope for a few good counters.... It still trips me out to see USA straight playing with, and often beating, Mexico

Soccer has grown here significantly, even if the results do not always show. I am really curious to see this team in ten years or so.

Truth be told you are not missing much. Both teams look decent attacking, decent defending, but neither can do anything in the final third.

Ball is bouncing anywhere but where the players want it to go.... IMO, San Antonio is done, for good, hosting USMNT games... This is unreal... Honestly, why we EVER play Mexico anywhere near the border is beyond me... Seattle, Portland, New England, Chiago would all sell out...

Apparently my cable provider (ATT), has chosen not to carry the game tonight. They also arent carrying a NASCAR race this weetkend ( dont really carw about that) and an MLS match this weekend. I didnt realize they could do this!

that is quite odd. I'd be pissed.

Its sad that a kid whose been in college for two years looks better than Zardes who starts regularly for the Galaxy.

Didn't see much good other than Yedlin, Mix, some Bradley, and Acamp's boy Omar.
