Yea I am not as down on them though I get your concern I think they are more likely to create classic team goals like the often have been especially with Bradley who is in my opinion the best player in CONCACAF.

Bradley is badass. Easily best player on our team and I'd give him the nod on CONCACAF as well. I just hope he doesn't get worn out having to constantly run into the defensive 1/3; covering for our weak wing defenders.

The same haters who were going on and on a few years ago about how the US were going to be buried under the dominance of Mexico are here with their hot sports takes.

I haven't seen the foreign teams we'll be playing play as teams much, but the US wouldn't scare me too much from an offensive standpoint if I were them. Not from the matches I've seen.

Sort of surprising since Donovan was by far the best player on the squad during the last WC, but I'm not going to pretend like I know if this was a good or bad move.

If nothing else, Landon Donovan can say he scored the greatest goal of our generation for US Soccer and he might be responsible for the rise in popularity of the sport among fans and youth.

Not so much for his son

After Landon Donovan was shockingly cut from the 23-player World Cup roster on Thursday, the head coach’s son, Jonathan, tweeted: “HHAHAHAHAHAHAH DONAVAN HAHAHAHAA I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE UNTIL PHONE NOTIFIED ME HAHA”

Where do you see that? I'm sure he deleted the tweet by now, but usually it's out there anyway. I don't see it.

Nevermind. I see. Looks like he took his account down.
