True, the back 4 is a joke right now

I'm just mad about the excuse making. This week we heard that playing in New Jersey wasn't enough of a home field advantage and that Latin American countries play harder due to the immigration debate raging in the political sphere in this country.

We could've played the Friday night game in front of 60k American hipster MLS fans and still would've gotten our asses kicked. The immigration debate excuse brought forth by Arena Monday and yesterday was simply laughable. It's fucking World Cup qualifying for godssake.


Well, Arena can't say 'our options suck at CB'

That aside, he shouldn't have said what he did, either.


I thought his player selection and tactics sucked too

Of course, he also stated that coaching in soccer doesn't really have a lot to do with the outcome of a game.

If Roy Hodgson said something like this and then lost and drew to Estonia and Slovenia in the subsequent qualifying matches, the English media would publicly shame him into quitting.


Well, no, he can't.

Choosing two of Besler, Cameron and Gonzalez far from sucks. Playing Ream is on him.


That was embarrassing

It's astounding the excuses that people are spitting out
