He mailed it in today. Fucking terrible. At worst, he's the second most talented player on this team after Pulisic, but his bullshit effort tonight should see him out of the squad for the next couple of camps. Send a message.


He was simply awful.

He was directly responsible for 3 of the 4 goals, and missed the one real opportunity on an open header.


he might have been the first player to receive a negative

Grant Wahl just threw his name out there, too.

Fucking fuck.


I hope not.

I could see Paolo di Canio getting a clear shot at the job with our current presidential situation.


Why not?

I'd prefer a different direction after the next World Cup, but what's wrong with Arena as a get-us-through emergency hire? The man can still coach.


I'm not a fan. While I agree that he might work as ....

If that were the case, I would be opposed.

And Sports Illustrated’s Grant Wahl has a quote from Sunil Gulati which definitely leaves the future open for discussion, saying they’d talk with Klinsmann after thinking through the loss.

Finally, intrepid New York Times reporter Sam Borden said Gulati told him that the loss could’ve changed his feelings on the project, though the reporter still feels Klinsmann will stick around.


Just about everybody in the media is calling for his

In the year of Brexit and Trump, we need to not take the Hex for granted. He needs to go right now.
