He's definitely letting a lot slide for the Canal creatures.

But I think it's becoming all the more clear that sports "officials" want to be an active part in the outcome of the game. NFL, MLB, Soccer, all of them, officials want to be the stars of the game to and a household name.

The ref has not been that big of deal. That was an easy red to give and the other bullshit is just bullshit. This is not our first rodeo you have to press through and simply be the better team and not get pulled into CONCACAF bullshit.

You think that the take-down of our GK wasn't worthy of a card? OK!

This game sucks

Stop being a victim. Enjoy the match.

This is sports...especially soccer.

Shit happens to your team.

Now tell me this official isn't dirty!

LOL, the upstairs official had to make sure he knew he, again, got it wrong.

It is not a conspiracy. Nobody is dirty its just sports man.

They made the right call taking it away....the first red was the right call as well. *shrug*

The system works! It happens all the time.

Will be really interesting to see if we can make something happen here and sneak one in.

Nobody is arguing that the red wasn't right, who said that? It's the no-card on them leveling our GK and then the thrown shoulder no-card from this clown that the topic.

Booooooooooooo

Well crap

Woof

OH well, we tried.

Same ole USA soccer

Damn that sucks and on home soil.

Dammmit

Interesting

Wild red card

Hacks

lol what could he possibly be mad about?

Boy that kick was *terrible*

They are playing dirty , hope you guys tie it

We've gotta be in the double bonus by now

We’ve had chances

We gotta take the canal back

Gay

Hopefully we can drum up some Arrowhead magic on Monday...

Ugh… this team… frustrating.

Sporting and the US teams both have so much talent absolutely wasted by complete jokes at manager.

Weah probably cost this team so much. Pepi should never see this team again. Why does Berhalter still keep clinging to the Pepi hope?

The +4 minutes was pretty interesting.

If I'm king for a day I think I'll make a change to soccer where it's a countdown clock with clock stops for all the usual stuff, but don't leave it to a mystery because even the commentators thought it was pretty low given the VAR activity and the red card.

Oh well, it's just a game.

Haven't followed US soccer in years....is this team supposed to be better than they have been?

Imagine still having Berhalter as manager and losing to Panama in a major international tournament, couldn’t be my country

I...I believe...I believe we will...I believe we will get our shit pushed in.

Ballad of US Soccer

Imagine being from a country that still gets owned by Berhalter and can’t capitalize on his weaknesses. That’s gotta be even more embarrassing.

Not on Behalter sorry. Thanks Tim Weah. Figure out how to get out of it at Arrowhead. Get your tickets boys.

if there's one good thing that can come from not making it out of the group stage........bye bye berhalter the bum.

Lack of discipline can certainly be hung on the coach.

Especially one who caused a shit ton of controversy for trying to be some sort of authoritative disciplinarian with all the Reyna drama. He hasn’t earned any sort of grace period with this team. It’s a joke we hired him back in the first place. If we get grouped out by Panama you simply can’t keep him around for 26.

Should have hired Marsch while you had the chance. He’s gonna coach circles around that joke you still have.

I’m gonna laugh next week when Canada makes the knockout with USA and Mexico sent home in far easier groups LMAO

Did they leave Marsch home for the Nations League final. Could have sworn that was him leading his team to that ass whooping. No one gives a shit about Canadian soccer. Stop trolling

Meh, I'll be on a dive trip on Monday with little to no Internet, so I'll have to wait until the boat is near enough to a cell tower to find out if we were able to pull our heads out of our asses.

You couldn’t possibly be talking about a match that happened 11 months before Marsch was even hired, right? LMAO

And trolling? You’re the guy who trashed Canada soccer out of the blue 3 pages ago after a great win for that program. Now you want to cry about me when USA gets exposed once again as a waste of talent managed by Berhalter? Is turnabout not fair play?

No one knows when Marsch took over honestly. They just know when he fell out of relevancy and had to leave the premier league. That is funny that Canada settled for him. Explains why they’ve disappeared lately and we didn’t see them in the Nations league at all this year.

Somehow the US will still have much better odds in Vegas to advance but you’ll continue acting like Canada has a chance against Chile for some reason. Saying they’re better than any team in this tournament was hilarious so that’s why I responded

I am not down on Greg as much as others I think we have the squad to do better and really they should be playing better...having said that I do wish Marsch was our coach.

Well it's pretty clear you have no idea given your commentary in this thread about Nations League finals from over a year ago now.

He was hired last month. LMAO

Canada's ELO is better than 7 teams of the 15 other teams in the tournament including Chile (you seem to think Chile is still good like they were a decade ago and not washed). It'll be higher than USAs soon enough so long as Berhalter sticks around (and you know he will).

https://www.eloratings.net/

You also probably think Peter Vermes is still serviceable as a manager so we’ll take that for what it’s worth.

Yeah Berhalter is pretty much outclassed in nearly all matches (ironically except Mexico).

Should have been gone a long time ago

Hey man just glad to see you posting on soccer threads again after your takes were so bad and embarrassing you just took a break from it all.

Welcome back.

We can pull up any of the soccer threads if you want. You’ve disappeared more than Peter has this season. Care to actually say ANYTHING about the disaster your boy Peter has created or you gonna try to sneak back into hiding again.

You became an absolute ghost. Nobody really talks SKC here...you were the only other one and you went away for a while. Looks its fine man. There is room for everybody around here. Some people just like listening to themselves bitch you are always welcome even if you don't always show.

Teams are up teams are down it is what it is...will be interesting to see how SKC pivots from all of this.

So no comment at all about Peter Vermes destroying the team you claim to love so much. You’ve been hiding from this thread all season. Just make a comment in any of the threads. Are you still behind Peter Vermes as our manager or have you finally come to terms that’s it’s time to move on like the rest of us did awhile ago?

I am interested to see how they pivot from this season. I am not an armchair expert I love the team and hope there are better days soon.

I mean...I did post in that thread and there are all of 7 posts in that thread since April...I have spent minimal time on this board anywhere since April from a big life change.

I honestly thought there was going to be some big soccer thread I missed not a one post a month thing.

So mea culpa I guess that is my bad.

I don't care if we had 10 players on the field.

A team that's "ready" to make the next jump would have figured out a way to beat Panama.

We're always going to be a one and done in the Round of 16 in the World Cup. It is what it is.

I think taking the fatalist view and extending it unendingly into the future is dramatic. But yea like I was saying earlier we have to press through challenges and CONCACAF shenanigens and really establish we are the team we think we are.

Also sorry to Country over Club guys you don't have MLS to blame for these failures anymore.

We came off a great game against England in the World Cup. We outplayed them. This made me optimistic.

Then we get beat by Panama who rpobably won't even qualify for the World Cup. We are not moving in the direction to make the next jump in the World Cup.

I mostly agree I just think generally things are never as bad as you think they are or as good as you think they are. We have plenty of time to figure this thing out.

Also in regard to SKC I honestly have more concerns about the ownership. Hey new coach that is fine whatever. But I am trying to figure out if Mike Illig is willing to do what is needed to put this organization back in position to be a good MLS team.

Well if we get grouped Monday, Berhalter will be gone so there’s still at least some positives to take….why the **** was even brought back is beyond me.

And no, just my opinion but Marsch isn’t the answer either…enough with the good ole boys, this entire program needs an enema and new voices.

That should have been a red card for destroying the US goalie in the goal box. The fact that it didn't even get a yellow is what led to what happened next. That was an idiotic red card by one of our own players. I told you the other day man this team is not good. They've got some pieces but as a group they are not good. The midfield is atrocious and the defense is almost as bad.

That’s never a red card….could’ve been a yellow…

Will be interesting to see how Uruguay approaches Monday. It would take an epic collapse for them to not win the group with their massive goal differential, but they technically could still be eliminated too. Wonder if they’ll rest some starters. I know I’d much rather see Luis Suarez pressing our back line over the younger Darwin Nunez. Luis Suarez can barely walk at this point in his career.

It's not even a foul at this level let alone a red.

As far as the play of the team.... It is more on coaching than it is the players. Berhalter should have never been considered to take the team over again.

Can he still bite though?

Even the suck-up-to-the-officials commentators seem to have disagreed. And NOBODY is claiming the red card we got was wrong. NOBODY..

I hate Berhalter.

There is not one commentator for the USMNT broadcast that a clue about the laws of the game. No one should claim it was wrong. If they do then they are wrong.

LMAO Than God we've got you around to explain the laws of soccer. :spock:

That Panama game completely killed my interest in soccer for the rest of the summer.

Berhalter will have that effect

Ya know, got a game Monday at Camarohead. It’s a fan warmup for the WC. If Team Berholter can’t catch the vibe from 78,000 out a fork in him, he’s done.

USA almost always loses games like the one they have to play on Monday.

And no surprise, Canada picks up the result they need against Chile and advance to the knockout. Marsch into the QFs of a major tournament in his first month on the job. How is Berhalter doing? LMAO

Great job Canada making it passed Chile and Peru.

LMAO Imagine thinking success is playing 10 v 11 for 90+ minutes in group play and still giving up more shots on goal to both of those opponents. Definitely shows the difference in the level of expectations for the weaker CONCACAF teams without any historical relevance in the sport.

Canada badly outplayed and outchanced Belgium in the World Cup but lost the game and didn’t advance out of the group. Do you think anybody gave a **** about that fact after it was over?

Style points don’t matter in tournament soccer, results do. Not that you have a clue about just about that or just about anything else soccer-related given your commentary in this thread.

Canada ultimately got the results they needed to advance against two teams who you gave them no chance against. It’s a far shot better than losing to ****ing Panama. LMAO
