Crazy, now there are so many good young Americans that the hype just transfers to a new one every few months...
Pusilic->Reyna-> McKennie-> Dest...

The USSF criminally mismanaged a whole generation of players (after Dempsey/Donovan and before Pulisic). Just a ton of wasted talent.

True, but now the base is strong.
I am seriously typing "did you see that American teenager score for Barca in the Champions League eairler?"

Soccer cant be take seriously in the USA when shit like this is till taking place in the MLS.
A fwaking playoff game, so the leagues best refs get assigned and they fawk it up soooo bad.

Watch this whole debacle of a professional game and try to convince me how anyone can take the MLS seriously:

I refuse to watch MLS.

I refuse to watch MLS.

After watching this ^ the refs take 20 minutes to figure out how/who can take the last 2 penalty kicks, you’ll promise your self not to watch MLS for another 20 years.

Lost all real interest in MLS when they let Real Salt Lake build their stadium in Sandy....

they continue to shoot themselves in the foot in a time of unprecedented interest in Soccer in America. Its mindblowing.

that being said, their academies have led to a lot of the young talent coming up, and shipping out because who wants to play in that kangaroo league aside from older pros who cant hack it in Europe anymore?

I refuse to watch MLS.

I don't refuse, I just have no interest. And I pay extra to get a channel I need to watch Arsenal. Which is stupid, I know. But still. I'm MLS's target market and I don't care if it exists.

I guess that’s more of where I’m at. I’ve tried to watch but I have no interest. I’d rather watch Championship.

I was only 10 at the time, but I remember very vividly watching this game on the TV in my basement with my dad and 2 uncles.


The famous Hand of God, in front of 115,000 spectators at the Azteca stadium in Mexico City.
