Just to let you guys know the soccer/football game is on now. The US just scored they are up 1 to nothing.

I watched most of it. Ended 2-1 in favor of Mexico. I’m convinced we’ll never win a world cup at this point.

I watched the highlights. Wasn’t too interested in watching the B squad get outclassed by Mexico.
A little frustrating that our top guys opted for a break over playing in the GC, but it is what it is. I don’t see much of this squad being a factor in WC26. Richards and Adams will start and Tillman might. Freese might be our number one atm, but I don’t know if that will carry on to the WC. I think Luna makes the roster and comes on as a sub. Ream, for all his experience, may not be involved much in 26 because of his age. I may be wrong about him though.
Pulisic, Weah, Balogun, Antonee Robinson, Dest, McKennie, Reyna, Musah, and Pepi are all difference makers for us who were not parts of this squad. I think the fact that we made it to the final bodes well for our depth.
Overall, I am cautiously optimistic. We have to play with the pride and grit our previous WC appearances featured, or the results will be a huge disappointment. I think that’s something we can do.

I’m not too worried because our big guys weren’t involved. A WC title doesnt seem realistic though, I agree.

Hahah I meant Mexico. To be honest I’ve seen the U.S. national men’s team improve vastly in the past 20 years. I sometimes feel they have a slightly better chance at ending higher in the standings than Mexico for a World Cup. They probably got overconfident after seeing Mexico lose a friendly to Switzerland and sent the B team.
