@ManagerTactical Tac - thoughts on the USMNT potentially losing its breadbasket soon? Are they going to cancel the program? How are you ever going to field an XI?

Fails from Major League Soccer

To all my fellow Americans 🇺🇸, don’t forget that European soccer season is coming to an end so you can save money by cutting all streaming subscriptions in June and July.
You won’t need them for the World Cup.
You’re welcome.

@ManagerTactical 3 CL goals all year, 2 of which were against Olympiakos and 10-man (and already 4 goals conceded) Napoli.
English
The Champions League had a team from Kazakhstan and Cyprus, so he ain’t wrong… Gozo could start in the Champions League.
So could 80% of MLS starters.
Zach Lowy@ZachLowy
Zavier Gozo is the best attacking talent I’ve seen out of MLS in quite some time. Believe the hype; he’s good enough to start in a Champions League team.
English
I really just don’t understand the hype this torta gets.
None of this translates to the National Team when playing against actual competition.
Doug McIntyre@ByDougMcIntyre
Diego Luna scores for the third time in his last five MLS games. #USMNT
English
@ManagerTactical American ownership is a cancer.
How do you punish a kid that doesn’t want to play for your country.
English
There have been 4 Augsburg games in the Bundesliga ever since Noahkai Banks politely declined the USMNT 🇺🇸 March call up.
For those 4 games, Banks played a total of 0 minutes.
English
@iamkennethchan One of the few Vancouver neighborhoods with any kind of actual character and they want to build a stadium on it 🤣
English
Should the Vancouver Whitecaps revive the Gastown waterfront railyard stadium plan instead of Hastings Park?
Mayoral candidate Kareem Allam suggests Gastown site should be the focus; Hastings isn't suitable, a "distraction." #SaveTheCaps #VWFC #vanpoli

@ManagerTactical @frankmSounders He’s quite literally in talks to bring a baseball franchise to Vancouver.
Doesn’t seem to care about the risk there 🤔
English
@frankmSounders Why would he? It’s a bad investment at the current valuation.
English
Ryan Reynolds came to the rescue of Wrexham's football heritage. Question is whether RR can somehow be part of the solution for saving the Whitecaps from leaving his hometown, Vancouver. It's too strong a soccer city to find itself in this predicament.
English
@boristhbullet @ConcacafEdgar Contextualizing goes both ways and usually leads to never ending discussions.
Like pointing out Eredivisie defenses rival MLS ones.
Or like pointing out Pepi scored 0 goals in almost 600 mins in the only decent league he’s ever played in.
English
@MLSFails @ConcacafEdgar I notice how conveniently you left out the fact that PSP played one of the most difficult eight games to start Champions League.
English
@ConcacafEdgar @GeorgeF70043352 Funny you’re citing a different (better) era of the Eredivisie.
Being good then actually used to mean something.
English
@MLSFails @GeorgeF70043352 Yeah because you know the future huh
I’m sure you also predicted Suarez , Robben , Ibraimovic To flop after leaving the Netherlands right? 🤣
English
@ConcacafEdgar @GeorgeF70043352 You’re the only USMNT account that still insists that he hasn’t been disappointing this year.
When only that George account sides with you, you need to reevaluate your position.
English
@MLSFails @GeorgeF70043352 Calling him a flop is crazy considering that the guy has 8 goals as a midfielder mostly playing a deeper role in a team that was completely rebuilt after losing over 12 players , a coaching staff & bringing in like 20 new players
Shit wasn’t gonna be easy for anyone lol
English
@GeorgeF70043352 @ConcacafEdgar Y’all destroyed David yet when your guys objectively flop it’s always “too early to tell”.
Here’s a forecast: Musah will end up looking like prime Pogba with PSV, but will end up flopping in top-5 leagues, just like Altidore, Pepi, Gimenez, and Tillman before him.
English
@MLSFails @ConcacafEdgar Too early to tell but 8 goals in your first season for a UCL team while you were riddled with injuries ain’t too shabby
Also stepped up his performances for the NT so good development for him
English
@ConcacafEdgar @GeorgeF70043352 Like Tillman, who looked like prime Pirlo with PSV and went on to flop in the Bundesliga.
Never living down the accusations.
English
@GeorgeF70043352 @MLSFails They also lost players in the summer and had to rebuild a bit
English
@ConcacafEdgar No, that’s not “just the team that they are”. They’re especially bad this year.
PSV did look out of place this year. Coming 28/36 in a league phase with Kairat, USG, Pafos, and Qarabag does that to you.
English
@ConcacafEdgar It’s also the Eredivisie’s lowest point in three decades.
Ajax, Alkmaar and Feyenoord are all struggling. No dark horse team even putting up a fight. The league’s best team couldn’t get past CL group stages.
English
@Raymond_Hatt Throwing two non-generational rookies to the sharks is textbook how to NOT develop players.
Also, if the Canucks’ highest pick from the draft turns out to be Malhotra, we’re screwed.
English
@fakastler @tburns71124 @usmntaut I don’t care about Mexico.
Just glad to see you admit that you’re a poverty NT propped up by recruiting players who couldn’t get into their first choice NT.
English
@MLSFails @tburns71124 @usmntaut It’s sad that your reading comprehension is so poor. I agreed that US development sucks lol.
It’s also true that Mexico’s youth teams are littered with Americans developed in America, so while US footy development sucks, Mexico sure wants Americans, like Obed Vargas.
English
Does he know that Obed was developed in the US his entire career?
All Fútbol MX 🇲🇽@AllFutbolMX
“My opinion on Mexican football is clear, and it is backed by facts. That’s why we brought in Obed. We have a great advantage, our technical secretary is Mexican. There is a lot of talent in Mexico”. ✍🏼 – Mateu Alemany, Atleti’s sporting director. 🇪🇸‼️
English
@fakastler @tburns71124 @usmntaut It’s the exact same thing but I don’t blame you for evading the question. US Soccer piggybacks on other Federations, no point in denying it.
And US development sucks because 95% of your players focus on athleticism and can’t even trap a ball correctly.
English
@MLSFails @tburns71124 @usmntaut You’re making an argument that is not being argued 😆.
The start of this was a guy from Atleti giving Mexican football credit for developing Obed. The rub is he did not develop in Mexico.
The US development sucks because of how expensive it is, that’s widespread knowledge.
English
@fakastler @tburns71124 @usmntaut Let me put it this way, maybe it’ll be easier to understand: would you then agree that US Soccer has failed to progress? After all, half your XI is made up of recruits.
Let’s give credit where it’s really due (in this case, to England, Germany, Netherlands and Brazil).
English
@MLSFails @tburns71124 @usmntaut So you’re saying I’m right but trying to cover your rear-end 😆.
I have never heard any of these “bigger” USMNT accounts try argue that Balo & Co. were developed in the US. In fact, most actively talk about recruiting dual nationals. We acknowledge we have a development problem.
English
@fakastler @tburns71124 @usmntaut You can’t be this dense. He’s responding to a quote about talent in Mexico, pointing out that he was in fact developed in the US.
Using that same rationale, these same accounts should also acknowledge that the USMNT is piggybacking on all these mercs you follow every weekend.
English
@MLSFails @tburns71124 @usmntaut Reading is not as hard as you’re making it.
The original post that was quoted was talking about footy in Mexico & that they brought in Obed because of the talent in Mexico.
Ultras said nothing about his allegiance, he mentioned where Obed was developed which was not in Mexico.
