Soccer World Cup Edition
Love America
Love the usmnt
Either we do well and can tell other countries we beat them at their own shit game or we don’t and tell them we don’t care about soccer anyways. That is the American privilege.
I don't like the back 3 2bh
I can deal with Mexicans playing on the team. But we got Germans and Brits on the team. Water we dune here?
I BELIEVE
Today work is having a World Cup themed casual Friday the HR lady went out and got a Chris Pulisic shirt to fit the theme from the mall She doesn’t know who he is so I told her he is the LeBron James of soccer
>>155154521Is Richards starting?
I'm new do we stand a chance against Uruguay? I heard they're the best nation to ever play the sport?
>>155155052>do we stand a chance against Uruguay?Yeah>I heard they're the best nation to ever play the sport?Nah
>>155154787who is lebron james
>>155154381We should be able to sweep these meme countries easy enough, right?
>>155155349Nah you have very hard game with both paraguay and turkeyParaguay is better than uruguay rn, usa vs uruguay is pretty close
Lets genocide Paraguay like we're a World Cup winning nation
Born and raised /American Talent/ Esmir is starting for Bosnia
Trump called the teamhttps://x.com/USMNT/status/2065501890268565669
You should be rooting for all CONCACAF teams to do well in this tournament.
>>155162385I be rooting for mexico but not US. i hope us crashes and burns
>>155162596Rude and gay
I've seen enough. We're winning the Cup
Please don't underestimate Paraguay at all. Yes you will have most of the possession but they play like Everton but in a shameless 4-4-2 formation that low block attitude. Expect to be frustrated because I know I will
>>155157729Based
>>155166236I don't know what any odd that means. But I'm going to get drunk do I won't be frustrated
throwing my support behind the USA for the ungodly amount of seethe them winning causes>I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN
>>155154523just about every country has at least one mercenary now. makes international competition feel a bit farcical but there's no end in sight. happens in the olympics too.
>>155157729what did he call them?
it's funny how we used to be a scrappy underdog team that most countries were neutral/supportive of, and how we're despised by every country except isreal
>Richards confirmed to startBASED no Milass RobinSON(Im Crine)
Probably the first and only based thing the trump duck gargling chuds have ever posted
LETS FUCKING GO
CROSSIN THEM STATE LINES WITH THEM BRICKS NIQQA
About the best lineup possible. Ream is the weak link.
What the fuck did I just watch
>>155167832Turner is better than Freese but whatevAlso I personally prefer Pepi over Balogun but im not complaining
>>155167832Only one MLS player and there’s no choice because all out keepers are MLSIt warms my heart
Thierry hates Alexi Lalas so much.
>>155167942because lala is a fucking clown. He is the soccer equivalent of SAS/cowherd/skip bayless. Henry actually knows what he is talking about. Fox is the fucking worst at covering soccer.
>>155167942Anyone with a working brain hates Lalas
>>155167832I just don't like the midfield especially with the back 3Playing super loose
>>155167832>no mlelsoy roldan or berhitler jr or milass robinson>richards startingFUCK YES
Is Freeman better than Weah?
>>155168103Yeah can't play centerback
>>155167832so geo reyna is still a meme?>ynr the bitch fit the reynas did with berhalter
>>155168075Sounds fun until you realize they will be the subs to come on and close out the game…
>>155168103freeman's playing as an rcb to rb position, weah is mostly a wingback winger and dest is better than him going forward
>>155168139yes, and only the most delulu us fans still believe in him. those same fans still think adu should get a call up.
>>155168243get over it doyle
>>155168162I think its because Weah bottled the copa America game against paraguay. #InPochWeTrust
so who is with me? USA is going to finish bottom of the group this time
>>155154485thislike mogging brapzil in bollyball
How many goals for my boy today?
>>155168558Pepsi probably won't even get minutes today
Poch is probaly going to play Tillman deep, and Mckennie up. He should do the opposite.
I saw the script. 3-1 USA. Balogun brace, Mckennie set piece goal.
>>155168785I like this better Malik tends to want to face the goal and will take more touchesMckennie is more comfortable with his back to goal and playing one touch
>>155157729>go get some homeruns boys!
Bros im going to cryOur /talents/ are finally doing it
Absolutely smotheringReally just impressiveI know it's Paraguay but they're just smothering them
Real marvelous champagne football so far, ameribros.
TODAY I FEEL AMERICAN
>>155175693Theyre no mean opponent. I say this as a Colombian. Even the big guys in Conmebol have trouble with them often.
Gregg Berhalter really was holding USA back
How long until Pullisic picks up an injury?
>>155176254He'll injure his hand when he lift the trophy
>reyna goaluh oh my little shitstains
>>155176254Tonight fucking prostitutes
Fugg. Is this what it's like having a real coach, anons? Poch has this team flying. They are so flexible, too.
>No MLelSoyboys shitting it up>Gio goalPoch I will suck your dick right now Im coooooooooooming
I haven't seen the US play with this amount of confidence in a while
That Reyna goal was kino. The second half was a letdown until then.
great game lads
Really our first time ever scoring 4?Holy fuck let's fucking goUSA USA USA USA
>>155180511They took the foot off the gas at halftime and changed formations too
That was a sick sick goal by ReynaBy far the best goal this WC so far
>>155180572Tbf there haven't been MLS shitters in the lineup in real games for a long time, even with Bershitter coaching.
Was Pochettino hiding the team's true power level this whole time?
requesting webms of all the goals
first soccer game I ever watched. I enjoyed it actually
Gio bros vindicated
>>155180627GOLAÇO
Do we have an actual identity now? Not just >muh playing with heartIve never seen a US team play with that much creativity and fluidity
>>155180607It was a realistic 2nd half, pretty good in some parts actually had a bunch of chances to score
>>155180667Yes. 3 at the back is our true power. He purposely started shitters like Luna in the friendlies and used dumb formations to hide our power level.
>puli safe without a card or injury>gio stock rising>only let in one despite our dogshit back lineWas a good game
Lets not start sucking each others dick just yet, Paraguay is the weakest of the three teams the USA is playing.
>>155180762Eh, I like ReamDude know how to play a mean long ball
>>155180729The overloads and movement was incredible. Poch is a genius to get these shitters playing like this.
What did they mean by this?
>>155180820I like Ream in the lineup despite what most people say. He brings leadership and experience which is needed with this lineup that's on the younger side.
so what day is the world cup final
>>155180729>>155180821Dest and McKennie interchanging was quality. And Freeman was great up that right side too. The way he has McKennie playing so free but with everyone on the same page is awesome.
>>155180762>>155180820Also this Robertson guy not half bad either on the offensive frontOf course, have to see how the team will fare against the better teams but so far so good
>>155180806They beat Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay and gave up only 10 goals all of Qualifying.This was a great win.Good luck to the aussies having to play us in Seattle.
>>155180905for us it'll be July 4th vs England
>>155180755That 3atb guy totally called this. Props to his autism.
Poch is definitely going to be gone after this WC.We need to have this game and any of Gregs games played side by side any time they try to hire some MyLittleSawker coach
Man I don’t want to see Donovan smiling all he did was shit talk bring our players down and try to unsettle him
>>155180806Not at all man i am setheeting hard that you guys won Paraguay was absolutely the favoriteYou guys maybe draw or beat turkey hardAnd australia is one of the worst national teams
>>155180960Australia can shock the world
>>155180996He really did
>>155181166>>155181158the duality of man
We still don't even know if Pulisic is injured
What postgame live are we watching bros? TTV or 11Y?
>>155181166Seattle might be the best home advantage USA will ever have. It will be a fucking madhouse there, and its the loudest stadium in the NFL.Not underestimating the Aussies at all! I'm just saying the home crowd at the game will be fucking insane.
>>155180401luna would have scored that shit, not a doubt in my mind
>>155181188Off at half time? Poch saying he will address it after the game?That boy is injured
>>155181212https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aXRjEOlzC0
>>155180663the sk chip was more kino imo
>>155181230that guatemalan gnome wouldve been pushed to ground so easily
We have no depth26 guys and no real d mids beyond Adams
>>155181166>>155181229You guys just outclassed paraguay and are afraid of fucking australia? Wtf
>>155181257No hes not hurt at all. Poch is a a great manager. He knew Paraguay would shithouse the 2nd half, so he out in Berhalter who's the most shithousing player we have. It was really smart.
>>155181378there are always a couple of them in this general
>>155181123i thought he already signed on to coach a serie a team. i have a feeling marsch will be coming in. canada is ready for a change as well.
>>155181229>Seattle soccer fansThis, Latinos and Aussies are not prepared for the fans they will be facing
We're going to fight and win against Stralya Sorry ozzies
>>155181378Im saying the opposite. Its going to be really hard for the Aussies in Seattle. It's a true soccer Fandom there and the loudest stadium in the country.
>>155181155stop being a pussy
Good game ameriniggas.Anyways why are bitches with american flag bikinis so hot? No other flag does it for me.
>>155181407You goddamn right They're so fucking gay for soccer on Seattle that they have 10 year old memes.It'll be a fucking crazy atmosphere.
>>155181407Oh shit
>>155180926Tillman also played amazing and Flo was clinical, not to mention Dest. Our attack is actually dangerous. The only problem is there's a huge drop-off when our bench shitters come on, other than Reyna. Poch trusts Bernhalter but he's a backpass merchant and always a step behind.
>>155181481Totally agree
>>155181497The problem with this team is there is no transition defense
i was reliably informed by this general that giovanni reyna was shitwas i lied to?
>>155181497Berhalter looked decent in his minutes. He's not a creator obviously but he can make some plays defensively and can handle pressure. I think he's a very serviceable see-the-game-out sub.
>>155181378Australia are a good team and always play above their weight at world cups. Not scared of them but we can't underestimate them. With our shit defense no lead is ever safe.
>>155155349"Turkey-Yay" won't be easy. Australia will be easy.
>>155181563Turkiye has potential to be a kino 5-4 goalfest
They weren't ready for our large cocks
>>155180820unironically the USMNT wouldn't feel the same without the token BIG WHITE GUY on D
>>155181560man why is the story of like EVERY world cup we're in that we have a shit defense that ultimately concedes a lot of goals and can't hold up to the actual good teams, but we somehow manage to squeak by to RO16 or QF through sheer dumb luck?It's been this way for like 20+ years.
This made me laugh
>>155181667That's a based storyline though and something straight out of Friday Night Lightsactually Poch looks like he could've been a head coach for a Texas high school team in Friday Night Lights
>>155180875Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, cp is coming!!!AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
>>>/soc/35125337/soc/ - soccer
>>155181635wtf are you talking about. The US historically is ok at defense, it is the offense that typically is the problem. Howard and Keller led the teams in the past. Donovan and Demsey were the only non defensive players that didn't suck.
>>15516648864/88 TND
test
now that we won fifa what's next
>>155181884Who are these women?
>>155181635Our defense and keeper are usually good- especially having a generational keeper that balls out and saves us like Friedel, Howard and Keller, and our attack is usually useless. This generation has a good attack and midfield but retarded defense and keeper is our worst position.
I haven't watched soccer in years, what the fuck is a "hydration break"? Is this just like a competition yellow, ie commercial break?
>>155181914one on the right is a porn actress, no idea who the one on the left is. Might be a porn actress as well
>>155181937Thanks for the clips brazilbro. The US actually controlled the ball for once.
>>155181939It is a TV timeout under a different name.
>>155181941the one on the left is probably also a "porn actress" if you count OF
>>155181929I'll add on- i think if prime Friedel or Keller were on this team we'd be legit darkhorse contenders. Freese nor Turner are capable of the level we need to make up for the brainless defenders.
So that was, by far, the best performance I have every seen by a USMNT team everI understand it's Paraguay, but even though I can't remember seeing the US attack with such relentless skill and energy and teamwork and Poch deserves a lot of creditClearly Berhalter and guys before him couldn't do itBut my god it still feels like every time the other team gets a break it's a 5 alarm fire and while it's not a problem for Australia I think, when we do face a side with top talent I will be scared shitlessshitlessWe don't even have a nominal backup for Adams
>>155181914>>155181941Left looks like Lana Rhoades, an even bigger whore
BROS WE ARE SO BACK
>>155181802Do third world 75 IQ n*ggers (probably can't post this word on this dogshit cucked faggot board) really believe Trump was in the Jeppstain Folders or something? As an American, it's just inexplicable that you could live through the Biden administration, where dumbfuck brownoid retards promoted to absurd positions of power were charging and arresting Trump (and Trump affiliates) literally every single day for 4 years straight on various trumped up (excuse the pun) charges, but never ONCE brought up the Jeffstein Files. Then after all of that bullshit, brown retards from Guatamala and the stinky shitstrained favelas still believe that somehow Drumpf was implicated in some Jefferstains' Island child sex charges. You creaturas are actually not sentient, I swear to God. And Maroc is going to bend you over and fuck your little monkey assholes tomorrow, you can take that to the bank (Polymarket, you're welcome).
>>155181884Based gooner usa lana and mia khalifa lol
>>155182058You are the first to truly ID them in your comment...
>>155182043Fantastic news
>>155182082Fucking based that they showed them on tv, cringe as fuck that they were fully clothed
>>155182025>I understand it's ParaguayThis is true but honestly I was worried about this game. Paraguay qualified 6th in CONMEBOL, just barely behind Brazil. They're definitely better than Bolivia (who qualified through play-ins) and probably on par with Uruguay. On their best day they're probably about as good as any African team, any Asian team including Japan and Korea, and maybe a couple of shitty European teams too. They're not anywhere near the bottom of the bunch of World Cup teams, easily somewhere in the middle or lower middle. It was a huge result. The only problem is we all know the USA is incredibly inconsistent, so this win means almost nothing (beside 3 points) going into the next game. That said, it shows we can play at an elite level. If we play that same way against every team, we should make the QF or semi-finals. But we probably won't
Burpfalter was atrocious, thank you Gio Reyna's parents
>>155181914America's finest (porn stars)
do the blue lines mean they have clinched going to the knockout stage even if they lose every game?
It must mean that if it ended today, they would go on to the knockout stage.
>>155182270who are you talking to?
>>155182287myselfthose last 2 posts are me, I think I figured it out
>>155182052you call me non-sentient, yet you spout all of this bullshit defending your retarded senile president off of a mere joke?you voted for a guy that was buddy-buddy with the most prolific pedophile in modern history, and nothing will ever change that. enjoy your rising gas prices.also O HEXA is coming
bro if USA wins it I'll lose my shit and be grinning like a motherfucker, gl, team played great today
>>155181544the one good thing he did tonight is going to live in your head forever, and you're going to expect this from him forever, and you're going to be disappointed forever. have fun!
>>155182207He was literally alright
>>155182318>buddy-buddy with the most prolific pedophile in modern historyYeah except not a single word of that is true you stupid nigger. Not only was Drumpf not friend with Jeffstain, but Epstein was not even close to being a prolific pedophile. Feel free to google it, viadinho. >also O HEXA is comingI'm going to fuck your tight little monkey butthole and it's going to feel GOOD. Place the bet on Polymarket, VIADO. Hexa is coming? No, I'm CUMMING IN YOU
>>155182320Thank you!
We will avenge Paraguay
>>155181919cool
It's so disgusting that turd world favela cockroaches are even allowed to respond to me. This board is infested with cockroaches, it's like when you flick on the lights in the morning and see a bunch of bugs. That's how I feel when I post and see a brazil flag or some other shitfuck nighole respond to my post about MUH EPSTAIN etc. Makes me skin crawl. Bunch of non-sentient bugs.
>>155182391Your Madrid twink and your Juve twink will cry
>>155182036she ruined her face
>>155181747if only coach let me play in the finals...
>>155182391Turd-world cockroaches uniting to try to avenge each other against first world White countries, no surprise there I will be blasting horns and loadspeakers outside your team's Phoenix hotel, have no doubts about that. I will be shooting microwaves and low frequency pulses into their rooms. They will absolutely lose sleep, they will feel disturbed and uncomfortable all night into the wee hours of the morning. They will not get any rest on my watch. I know exactly where they're staying. They're not welcome here and they will feel that in Arizona, trust me.
>>15518202509 is still the most impressive we've been imo, but the first half was the best i've ever seen a us team play in an official competition. it didn't seem real
>>155167890>Also I personally prefer Pepi over BalogunIn today's edition of takes that turned out to be ice cold
>>155182390Hey hey hey, chill. Our interests align, that's all, there's no need to thank each other. I'm going with USA all the fucking way, but I have my hidden agenda. Even if you beat us, that'd be okay with me. I'm rooting for you guys. Wanna hear a fun fact? The biggest sports journal in our country is like "Yeah, showtime! USA beats Paraguay." I do like our south american friends, even if they hate our guts, but this time I'm rooting for USA for another reason.
>>155168243Takes that turned ice cold part 2
>>155182052great, the polfag essayist has been triggered
Watched Reyna's goal againWere the Paraguayans just expecting the ref to blow the whistle? Even the keeper seemed to react slow to an obvious shot
>>15518247309 was the most impressive result (although I think the 95 Copa America win against Argentina could be better) but even in the game against Egypt they didn't control the game like they did against Paraguay
>>155182534Wrote like 7 sentences you dumb retard
>>155182365>google itsure lmao>Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th president of the United States, developed a social and professional relationship with financier and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that began in the late 1980s and continued into at least the early 2000s. During Trump's prior careers as a businessman and media personality before entering politics in 2015, he and Epstein visited each other's real estate properties regularly. Trump and Epstein socialized frequently throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, including attending parties at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and Epstein's residence. Flight logs released during an associate's trial confirm that Trump flew on Epstein's private jet multiple times in the 1990s, and according to Epstein, Trump first had sex with his future wife Melania Knauss in his private jet.Trump only stopped socializing with him in 2004 after a dispute over a mansion. The first accusations against Epstein fucking children began in 1996.also O HEXA is coming
>>155182499>'98 garbage time goal validates meeeeeeeeeeeeeeekeep huffing
>>155182574
>>155182365>>155182574can you two stop shitting up this thread
>>155181667>>155181747He looks like Rusell Crowe when Russell isn't on a bender
>>155182650i'm truly sorry, that guy started it...
>>155182574Oh you're quoting the wikipedia article, written by a bunch of troons, like a stupid little monkey. No surprise there. Here's a direct quote from the same article:>After Epstein was said to have sexually harassed a teenage daughter of another Mar-a-Lago member in 2007, Trump banned him from the club.The article also fails to mention that Trump reported Jeffstain to the authorities in Florida and was one of the sole causes of Jeppstein getting prosecuted. Might want to consider that fact
>>155182391>avenging another opponent in your group
>>155182495What has the reaction of the game been like in Spain? Im curious
BROS OMFG I JUAT GOT BACK FROM THE BAR6 YEARS WE'VE POSTED IN /TALENTS/ DREAMING ON THIS DAYTEARS DOWN MY FACEPOCH HAS DONE MIRACLES ON ME
>>155182717Too early to tell, since Spain is a mega left leaning country, I guess it'd be bad because trump = boogeyman, but they don't care about the sport. For soccer enjoyers, USA played really well.
>>1551827479 YEARS OF HURT4 LASSES STARS ON THE SHIRTPULI'S PELVIS STILL BLEEDINGNEVER STOPPED DREAMINGITS STAYING HOMEITS STAYING HOOOOOOOOOME
>>155182764Ah I also want to add, USA plays what we call tiki taka, which is a made up word and the closest translation would be zig zag, so they played as a team and won. Really nice display of how to play soccer, fuck all the defensive bitches who rely on pure power to make counter attacks and rely on power and speed.
>>155182670>i'm truly sorry, that guy started it...>>155181802>Trump reads this and decides he will actually go and see the match3rd worlders just lie and lie, make shit up and keep lying. Pathetic. Can't wait to see Brazil get their shit pushed in tomorrow. Vai se foder, viadinho.
>>155182747Youre gonna make me cry
>>155180875They saw the sticky
>>155182817doesnt most of the country hate barcelona for 'muh catalonia', tho?
>>155182817My domestic club is Columbus, who played aggressive, possession-based "tiki taka" as well. I love me a good 20-pass goal buildup, but I don't think the US is playing quite that way.The aggression is super nice to see. We're typically bad-to-mid on offense and solid defensively, and we lose when the midfield wears out and gives up breakouts the defense can't bail out. We've already surpassed our goal total from 2022 I think.desu, US Soccer is trying to use this world cup to sell the sport to Americans, and that game really breaks the stereotype that soccer is a "boring" sport.>>155182819fuck off and get your cybertruck stuck in 2 inches of water
>>155182817Having a bunch of possession is not fucking tiki taka
>>155182242No
>>155182891I don't think so, it's better to ask a catalonian about that shit. Personally I'm from Asturias, they take pride of being the only province who wasn't fully subjugated by the romans or the muslims (they did get here, it's just that we were more barbarians and we didn't fully submit to either of them). Most people here are like whatever, let Catalonia decide if they want to be part of the country or not. No hard feelings, we like them, we like Spain, etc.
>>155182318>>155182574If we're being real here, there's packed flights full of geriatric men from Sweden all going to Thailand and other countries with the deliberate purpose of nonce shit. There's many countries in the world where some african warlord or cartel kingpin would happily sell off girls to the world elites.The entire deal with Epstein, Saville, etc and why it's so offensive and appalling is because he was supplying white American / European girls from normal or upper class backgrounds. If it had been haitian or india or brazilian favela slum imports then they would have never been caught and they would have gotten away with it
>>155182913>My domestic club is Columbus, who played aggressive, possession-based "tiki taka" as well>fuck off and get your cybertruck stuck in 2 inches of waterLMAO, yeah I don't think I'll listen to a single thing you say you stupid little faggot. "My DOMESTIC club is Columbus" fucking ROFL. "We play TIKI TAKA SOCCER" HAHAHAHAHAHAH. I'll twist your fucking head off you little queer. Don't even (You) me again.
>>155182913I doubt if I will ever care about club soccer but I do enjoy international comp. Have been watching the world cup since 2014. My 14 year old is a huge fan of the entire sport though. Being able to watch Team USA actually have a solid run with him would be amazing.
>>155182402>>155182458>>155182682You are seriously autistic lmao
>>155182975Dude wtf are you doing, never post in our gay autistic thread ever again fagot
>>155182984kys, unironically
>>155182179Japan are one of the best teams in the world, Paraguay is good but not on their level.
>>155182957I lied because the basques were the same shit too, and they want to be independent too. Sorry, it's 7am in the morning and I haven't slept yet.
Going to the Seattle match next Friday. I actually got selected for Jury Duty so I thought I was fucked but this state has Juneteenth as a state holiday so free at last. This match has me hype as fuck, I'm gonna try following MLS next year or season or whatever after this Cup. What a game.
>this state has Juneteenth as a state holiday
>>155183007>>155182991You faggots have no arguments because I'm right. >kysNo, I'll leave that to you, tranny. You faggots have like a 50% self-kill rate. I think the odds are in my favor.
>>155154381someone please tell me why we don't say 'team USA' anymore
How come Mexico got a goal song and we didn't?
Imagine being the most autistic poster in the us soccer thread on the sports board of 4channel. That's just impressive.
>>155183011Na. On Paraguay's best day, they could probably beat Japan on their worst day. The point I was (obviously) making is that Paraguay isn't a team to be taken lightly. They're not bad.
>>155182458>first world White countries,america isn't a white country. Turkey is probably whiter than the US
USA sucks at Soccer.
>>155182535It was a sick shot and finished but Paraguay didn't press him and were just waiting for the ref to call it instead of their usual murderball defense.
>>155183068Goal songs are for Canadians (and apparently cocaine Canadians)
>>155183093damn, that must mean brazil is EXTRA shit
bruh….
>>155183082>Turkey is probably whiter than the USNo, it's obviously not, but I'm assuming you know that the reason Turkey is even remotely white is that the Ottomans enslaved White people, right? You know the history behind the Ottoman empire and Slavs? Where do you think the word "Slave" comes from? The Ottomans would literally raid slavic nations and murder everyone and take the young boys as slaves. So 1) yes America was originally a White nation, but we have a number of browns and blacks due to slaves and indentured servitude, and 2) Turkey is brown (Mohammedan), but they only have a small number of white-ish skin turks due to enslaving Slavic people.
/spol/ is cancer
>>155183197I don't enjoy arguing politics, but if faggots are posting cancerous dogshit like "america isn't a white country" (>>155183082) and turd-world ESL retards are posting absurd lies like "Trump is a pedophile" (>>155181802) I'm going to respond. Obviously I didn't start the /pol/ posting, but I have no issues responding to it.
>>155183227Fuck off, autist
I'm happy to wake up and see you guys had a big ass party :)Yesterday Canada also had a match that must have been very nice to attend (equalizing in last half with good goals) and Mexico won the opening match.
just passing by to say that pepi is fucking shit, that fucker sohuldve scored 2 goles today
>>155183243Thank you! We have waited years for this!
>>155183260You still can't have him or Zendejas.
LOL at everyone downplaying this.This is the team we just absolutely ran wild on
>>155183294dont really care about either of them not wanting to play for mexico, my point still stands, he missed two opportunities to score
I'm just happy that we played beautiful soccer I remember when we almost lost to Antigua & Barbuda
>>155183243Stfu barely different Paraguay flag we don't need your compliments and we're coming for you too
This man is your FRIENDHe fights for FREEDOM
>>155183301They're afraid You pretty much just dumpstered all of CONMEBOL
I didn't pay that much attention to the Mexico game, how did Gutierrez (and Obed) do?
>>155183301Yeah I watched the entire CONMEBOL qualifying and Paraguay were always a threat to play against, even for the top teams. People like >>155183011 are just retards that have no clue what they're talking about and maybe started following soccer a month ago.
>>155183243Based dutchfren
>>155182495My friend is from Madrid and she’s not supporting Spain because there’s too many Catalan people on the team. She’s supporting Portugal, unironically…is that your hidden motive, to shit on commie Catalan retards?
>>155183260High key hoping we switch to Haji as our 2nd choice
>>155183401Real Madrid has been loading up the team with the blackest mandingos from the heart of the Congo and now little Juanito from the central Francoist wasteland is malding the NT doesn't feature any Real players anymore.
>>155183421cringe
>>155183421Literally lol
The Paraguay goal was on Weah. Fresh on the field, right after he entered, but he lost track of his mark.Though I guess Ream also should have cleared the ball.
Bonk!
>>155183540KinoDid the ball hit the gk's glove?
Does anyone have the reaction in Paraguay? What are they saying?
I'm so gay (happy)
shout out to the retro 94' era logo on the warm up shirts
>>155183185You don't own a passport. 57% lol
>>155183617>oh no!
>>155180820He played out of his cotton picking mind today. 0 turnovers and so many quality passes. No clue why anyone objected to him being on the team or captain
>>155184262>expected assists
>>155154381Niggers will rig this like in 2002 for Korea.
They laughed at us in this thread for 6 years talking about or /talents/
Won't be bothering or thinking about footy today, trooping the colours on.
>>155184375
>>155184262he's a situational starter, he was fine against paraguay because we knew they would sit back but he still looked fucking shaky when players ran at him. Any ngubu will eat him alive so we cant start him every game.
That performance might've been the best this century for U.S. Soccer, right? only 2002 Portugal and 2009 Spain are the contenders there, and those weren't nearly as dominant or convincingAlso very impressed with the crowd, I was at a bar that didn't have the sound up that high (fucking chain boomer place) and I could hear them clearly, the atmosphere in such a big NFL stadium is so unlike anything we're usually able to muster during qualifiers, friendlies, and continental competitions because they usually either don't sell tickets or get drowned out by CHIs, so good. This is the fruit of /talents/ (both the thread and irl), enjoy it boys. Hopefully Seattle comes through like they did in 2013 vs. Panama and makes it unlike anything we've seen, make it even louder than Seahawks games for fuck sake your country is calling.
>>155185261That was the best our attack has ever looked in USA history, and it's not like the Paraguay defenders are scrubs either.
Just remembered that of we win the group we would potentially face Belgium in the round of 16Fuck
USA :)
>>155190464>Belgium in 2026
>>155181667Ok but that's a based character arc
>if only you knew how good things really are

I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WINI BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WINI BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN
>>155190705USA outplayed them 1st half and the game was tied at halfThem we subbed in MLS scrubs 2nd halfAlso we didn't play 3atbMuch needed context
>>155180627the webm that terrified the world
LMAO
>>155190767We lost the game before the mls guys came one
>>155154381Were there any American athletes who watched US vs Paraguay yesterday? Like NBA, NFL, or MLB players?
>>155192197MLB players had games yesterday so they couldn't go
>>155192197Tons of NFL players were at the game, I saw Jayden Daniels, Jarred Goff to name a few
>>155191423Idgi
>>155193552turkish hair transplants
Didn’t realize Chris Richards is from Birmingham, AL and the son of a pro (overseas) hoops playerThis is what it looks like when even one of our best athletes chooses soccer. Imagine how many undersized 6’2 shooting guards turning out at a 16 seed college could be dominating a European trophy winning backline if they grew up playing soccer

Anybody else noticed how nobody from the US team celebrated with Pulisic?
>>155197583It's because he's gay and they're homophobic.
>>155194352he would've been a slightly more extreme version of nigel de jong. thank god we avoided that timeline
>>155201585Julius Peppers would be an unstoppable god striker.
"My USMNT starting 11 if our athletes played soccer since birth4-3-3ST: Mike VickRW: Odell Beckham Jr.LW: Tyreek HillCM: Allen IversonCM: Antonio BrownCDM: Mookie BettsLB: Russell WestbrookCB: Calvin JohnsonCB: Jalen RamseyRB: Anthony EdwardsGK: LeBron James"thoughts?
armchair psychologist reading too much into things -- it struck me as very positive evidence of locker room cohesion when balogun sprinted to celebrate with the bench and when all the team celebrated with reyna. Particularly the stern captain types and berhalter. Lots of this dramatic bullshit and entitlement we've seen in the past seems to be a complete non-issue right now.
>>155197583No. Because everybody passed him the ball readily, and he passed the ball to them readily. Gameplay was smooth and fluid. Because men are about the task at hand. Stop implying side story rumors like a woman.
>>155201863I saw this post on X and blocked the person who posted it. It's interesting at first glance, but nonsensical when you think for 3 seconds.>Hey what if Eric Clapton was in Led Zeppelin instead of Jimmy Page?The other three guys would've played the same, but the guitar parts would've been different? Wow. Cool discussion bro.
>>155202127Clapton is one of the most overrated musicians of all time, btw
Domination
>>155202293I know but the 3 times paraguay had a dangerous attack we completely fell apart
>>155203561I don't think that's true. There were a couple moments of emergency defending, but it didn't feel to me like Paraguay should have scored more. The goal we did let in was kind of a fluke.
>>155203866They should have scored on that free kick where there was 5 of them in the box and there was no american around
>>155201863Even if guys like De'Aaron Fox played, we could field a whole team of Kantes.

I've never been to SoFi, but it looks better on tv than all the other stadiums.
Been focusing on the NBA finals right now, but what are the chances we run into the Netherlands again? Would be funny if we swept them as revenge from the last world cup.I mean what are they going to do, get carried by VVD? Send Ongezellig to outmeme our team?
Thierry and Zlatan said they were moved by Alexi Lalas crying during the anthem
>>155168366Ok I take the L in this. Glad they look a lot better than I expected.

This week will be all USMNT talk on normie sports shows.

What result do we want from this game? Australia W?
>>155234065No. Turkey W or Draw.Australia W could really fuck us if they beat or draw us
>>155235392Yeah we don't want to have to go into the Turkey game needing points. A draw would be best.
Does USNT have competent talents like players of Big 6?
Based /talents/ autists knew the Aussies were the true threat in the group and called it.
>>155234065>>155235465Mathematically, it's best if our group stage opponents get less points than they should so a draw would be 2 points amongst our opponents but either team winning would mean 3 so we would be competing against 2 vs 3But on the other hand, after that performance we should be thinking about winning the group. Australia winning takes out our biggest threat. Even if they draw we would need a result against Turkey if we lose to Australia so it doesn't really matter
>>155236121Brother. Australia is the biggest threat.We've been saying this for weeks. The Turks are weak minded faggots that choke.
>>155236121Go on fotmob or whatever app and look at the starting lineup of each side.The Turks have majority aging turk league players and yildiz is hurt. The aussies have ascending 26 - 30 year old players that are fast, physical, and strong mind.The aussies also have the World Cup experience from their 2022 run.The Turks played terrible teams at the Euro and still choked. Theyre really overrated.
>>155236513The aussies will be tough. They will stretch our backline when we push forward and spam long balls. It'll give us trouble. I hope Seattle is ready.
>>155236513>>155236386Turkey has the better top end talents they've been in the euros, and they actually beat us last year unlike Australia
>>155236038Our predictions have been spot on so far. Very powerful autism.
>>155237029They didnt play our A team and this 3atb like the aussies did. Also Turkey only has Guler, the rest of their talents are old. Yildiz is hurt. They have like 5 30+ year old starters. Theyre slow and weakmind. The aussies are the better team.
>>155236958Will be a good amount of aussies in Seattle since this current game is in Vancouver.
>>155237059People were laughing at us yesterday for telling everyone the aussies were the real team to worry about.
>>155236958With Dest and Robinson bombing forward, AUS will just hoofball to their ngubus that will torch slow Tim Ream.We need to change our tactics some vs them. Basically if we draw Australia we advance.
>>155237145We're not invincible with the 3 in the back
>>155237481Of course not, but we are undefeated with it vs:SenegalUruguayJapanParaguayAustraliaI watches coaches corner and berhalter of all people pointed out something I didn't notice. Poch is basically rotating freeman or dest bombing forward as the RWB.So the defense doesn't know whether to cover dest or Freeman because they keep alternating it and they both have the skills to do it.That's why its worked so well. It's really smart.
>>155237628I saw that too! It's why we gave up a goal when Weah came in. He didn't remember to stay back when Freeman went forward. Dest has been really disciplined in staying deeper when Freeman goes forward.
>>155237628We also haven't had a clean sheet in 7 games and a 3 in the back formation is vulnerable against the goal Australia just scoredIf you recall, the goal we gave up against Australia last year came from the wing where Bos took advantage of defensive confusion
>>155237884I completely agree.It's why I'm saying the aussies are the real threat. We don't want them winning this game.
AUS are completely manhandling Turkey. Way more physical. Way faster.
>>155237933If Australia's the real threat then the Turkey game shouldn't be an issue
>>155238336Any desperate team would be an issue is game 3, also we wouldn't be able to rest anyone in game 3We want a draw
I recognize that styles make fights and there's the scoreline impacting game narrative, but turkey is way better than Australia
>>155238648Google haramball
Further proof after today that Paraguay are good, and we just fucking bootyblasted them.
>>155238673RIP to that lovely gorilla
>>155238648I completely disagree. Turkey played garbage teams at the euros. Australia are a good team who went far in 2022 World Cup.
>>155238765Im talking about a completely imbalanced game that's occurring right now
Holy shit?!
>>155238648Based on what?!?! Turkey has achieved nothing at the World Cup. They have weakness all over their team. Youre letting a couple flashy names distract you. Australia are basically like USA and always overperform at the world cup.Right on que... Another AUS goal.
>>155238974Im watching the game retard. Australia was in their own side for 20 straight minutes getting peppered. Australia putting on an absorb and counter master class but that tends to result in defeat more often than victory
>>155238648How the fuck did you watch the 2022 world cup and underestimate Australia?
>>155239100No it’s literally the blueprint on how to win as an underdog lmao
>>155239100That's how they always play lmao.It's what they do.Are you 18?
Turkey have had like 1 and a half genuine scoring chances all match Australia is obviously content to let them pass outside the 18
>>1552391331) I cant repeat this more - I'm not talking about the player names or pedigree or form or prior tournaments. Im talking about the balance of play in the current game taking place right now2) lots of things change in 4 years, its stupid to just assign current performance to a tournament 4 years ago>>155239149You're saying underdogs usually win? Otherwise you're literally agreeing with me
I live in seattle should I go to the game on Friday
>>155239339>You're saying underdogs usually win?Of course not
>>155239391Yes and you better fight and win
>>155239209How does that refute what I said whatsoever? They've never won a knockout game, finished last in their group two of the past three tournaments. They aren't exactly using that strategy to consistent success or something
I mean the only result we need now is Turkey to beat Paraguay
Aussies will be feeling very confident like us going into Seattle.If Seattle delivers, I believe.. that we will win
>>155239424So then when you said "no" you meant "yes". Because if underdogs usually lose, then the blueprint they all try to follow usually results in defeat.
>>155239500They accomplished much more recently than Turkey.Go look at who Turkey played at the euros.
>>155239585Neither of them have accomplished shit recently
>>155239640The Aussies beat Japan in Qualifiers and also advanced in 2022 out of the group. They are a much better team than Turkey.
>>155239500How can you explain how /talents/ literally predicted this would happen for weeks?We all said the aussies were the real threat. We were right.
>>155239848I will say this though. Aussies match up really poorly vs Paraguay. That long ball won't work vs their bus. That will probably be a draw.
>>155239784Lol ok. Turkey drew Spain away. >>155239848Because you tards get things wrong all the time to. You can't really brag about big brain clairvoyance if you need to ignore the Ls
Out of curiosity, what would you guys consider a good result in this tournament? Poch seems to have really elevated the squad, but you have to wonder how far the talent you’ve got is going to take this team.
>>155239983Final 8, and a good showing there
>>155239983Our talent is top 10 in the tourney. We have 8 Champions League starters.I think quarterfinals is a success, and semifinals if a miracle happens.
Going to be hilarious watching Turkey completely meltdown vs Paraguay now that the pressure is on.
/strongmind/ > /weakmind/ in the world cup This was such a predictable result
>>155240296Was australia weakmind in 2018?
>>155240660>8 years agoIt's past your bed time, go to bedWe didnt even make the world cup in 2018
>>155240697Why would it matter if it were 8 years ago? Your mindstrength rule only started applying a couple years ago?
Watched the Aussie broadcast on a VPNThey were calling it Tequila not Türkiye lmao
>>155240778Because USA is always strong at the World Cup just like the aussies and we both have a slip up every now and then, both of ours happened to be 2018Both teams have historically overperformed at the World Cup. This is a fact.
>>155240862Guess the aussies also had one in 2914?
The USMNT is ready for Pep Guardiola
>>155241052Pretty sure if he was going to manage a national team it would be SpainAnd here he would half to deal with CONCACAF that acts as a cartel of sorts and also MLS that forces mls players to be selected and started no matter what
Anyone got the gif of this moment
>>155241110It's ai
>>155241108>MLSwhat is MLS like?
Think Australia are scary with their two Ngubu's up top but we just have to starve them of service and keep Antonee Robinson and Richards in the back to deal with them. I trust Poch after Paraguay now
Lmao this looks like a porn shot
>>155239524The Seattle game is at noon on a workday!WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING HOW IS THIS NOT A NIGHT GAME
>>155241994Bros... idk about this
>>155241949They're entire backline are giants
I know they didn’t score but seeing that one-two pepi and Malik did and Dest balling out Reyna was linked to PSV before he went to GladbachCan’t help but think he would be even more connected and sharp with the PSV connection we’ll see if he stays at gladbach Thank you Earnie
>>155243012good sir, you're going home
Poch will coach another cycle.
>>155181378well, after today's game they ought to be lmao
>>155249803Further proof how powerful our autism is./talents/ knew the aussies were the real threat way before they played yesterday.
>>155252552it's a very sensible take, australia is a REALLY good team right now and i always expected them to make it out of group even if they end on the third spotseeing SK dominate czechia should've made it obvious considering australia is easily as good or even better than SK (and japan) going by their AFC qualifying campaign
>>155252927Yeah they beat Japan in Qualifying. They're a good team.
>>155181432loudest stadium on the west coast for sure. but as someone that's been to 18 of MLS stadiums. Seattle isn't close to the loudest. At least the games I've been too
>>155253210It's the loudest stadium in the NFL
>burgers actually think beating Paraguay whose best players are motherfucking 35 year old Almiron and Enciso is impressive
>>155253306You're right it's much less impressive than Ireland's win
>>155253397We would qualify from CONCASHIT with our eyes closed
>>155253439You said we would lose every game.We didn't forget. Kneel and apologize.
>>155253439>Irish players surviving murderball on a humid night in Honduras >Irishmen surviving the texas heatLol
>>155253439It took Scotland (a much better team than Ireland) everything they had to beat Haiti (6th best team in Concacaf) last night lmao.
>>155253439i hear this every 4 years and every 4 years we advance at the expense of a yuropoor team
>>155241304I don't watch that slop
>>155240089Feels like we are JUUUUUST starting to scratch the surface. I don't think this is the year but there is always a chance in hell if you get in the tourney.By 2030 we should have even more home grown Ngubus playing in Europe cooking like their Uncle's Slow Cooked Ribs to perfection.
>>155253439Why not simply force FIFA to hold the tournament in your country like US, Canada and Mexico did?
>>155253534>>155253878>>155253989>>155254028>>155254336Canada are the undisputed kings of CONCACRAP and our C team beat them 1-1 just last week
>>155254531>Canada>0 TrophiesLol
>Canada Actually wins the World Cup>President Salvador Dumble Dore is about the present the trophy>"Very good Canada very good... however you did not win the Stanley Cup and I will be awarding 1000 points to the USA.">"Will the USMNT please come for their trophy!"
>>1552553312 digits from glory... like Canada in most things.
Couple of Texans were the ones that stole from the bongs.
>>155255474Mustafa and Erfan are American Patriots in this household! True Texas legends!
The American /talent/ Nathaniel Brown just scored for Germany
>>155181563>>155155427USA gonna go 3-0 based on what we've seen so far. It's coming home!
>>155261006Jesus Ferreira would score 4 against Curacao
>>155262388And?
Australia beat this Japan team in qualifiers btw
>>155262388You were saying? He's moving to Bayern now lolHe's going to take Alphonso Davies spot
>>155276477We also beat this Japan teamAnd this Australia team
>>155277475>friendliesLol. lmao.And both were C teams
>>155277475But will we do it when it counts?
We did not hire Poch to be fucking scared of Australians
>>155278241I mean yeah but did you see their game last night?
>>155278427Yeah they did the classic bunker and counter that should get respect but not fear
>>155278427Berhalter USMNt wouldn't score on Australia but if they can replicate the same skill and pace from the Paraguay gameTurkey looked very lackadaisical in their attacks and they still got 30 shots off
>>155238648>>155238765>>155238974Australia looked good in early but imo they actually looked worse once they sat back more after scoring. After the first goal their line of confrontation dropped way into their own half. The bunker works sometimes but it's not reliable.Also, this: >>155239339>You're saying underdogs usually win? Otherwise you're literally agreeing with me
>>155241108>MLS forces mls players to be selected and started no matter whatThis hasn't been true for a while, you casual
>>155277475Irankunda only played the 2nd half half, and several players like Souttar, toure, herrington, Irvine were even missingThis is going to be a really tough game
>>155278829Honestly surprised Australia got the second oneBoth goals came from nothing but can't remember an Australian attack in the 2nd half before the goal
>>155278891Irankunda absolutely torched our backline right as he came on too, luckily it was only the B team though
>>155278852It's never been true
>>155278936B team?More like C team.Roldan, and Sands (lmao) started in the midfield
>>155279071No BalogunNo Antonee RobinsonNo DestNo TillmanNo Tyler AdamsNo Ream
>>155279071A weird mix, but yeah Roldan and Sands are like D team players. McKenzie is a backup, and Robinson should be thrown into the grand canyon.
>>155279118Australia were missing 5 starters, we were missing 6 startersCan't take much from that game
I wish we had a defensive mid to go alongside Adams to help stifle those Australian counterattacksWhy did Musah have to suck?
>>155278456It was exactly what we used to beat the greatest team of all time, Spain in 2009 who hadn't lost in like 35 games in the confederations cup
Does anyone know the ticket situation in Seattle?Will there be tons of aussies?
Just realized that Fox has Landon Donovan, the biggest player in the history of American soccer, as their #2 analyst and have the better analyst Stu Holden calling bigger gamesYet they pushed Greg Olsen out in favor of Tom BradyLmao
>>155280295Tom Brady is more comparable to Messi than Donovan
>>155280737I said American soccer
>>155280134Its been sold out for weeks
>>155279737Correct. And there's a reason that Spain won the WC the next year while we were eliminated by Ghana after getting out of the group by the skin of our teeth
>>155253439Scotland is a far better national team than you with actual good players like McTominay and they were taken to the brink by fucking Haiti of all Concacaf teams, you would not survive in our confederation.
>>155280295Donovan has been a garbage analyst his entire time doing it. He’s spent his entire time talking up his legacy as much as possible and unsettling our current players and talking them down as much as possibleGreat player but a bitch as an analyst
>>155278852MLS fanboys always want to deny the obvious but it's true, we all know it. Roldan would never sniff the bench ahead of 10 other American midfielders otherwise.
