Sorry guys, I just can’t stand the negativity on these boards sometimes. It was a good tournament for our boys and there’s no reason to be cutting them down.
I wish the BBC would stream all the international matches of the milk cup
Why dont both of you can it and take this immature argument off the board. Good tournament for the usa.
Actually Alex, you are the troll for wasting space on the board with nonsense rants over some post. 99.99% of the people on this board who use the word “troll” are usually the main trolls themselves. Martha at least kept his/her opinion about soccer,.. what you are doing is trolling on someone elses post… Massssss p$toooo. 😉
Great tournament for our boys. This team move the ball around very well on the ground. We need more of it.
I think every team that got to the final eight of the Copa America is asking the same question…
I was actually pointing out that you’re just trolling.
Good cause I would point out that I’m typing on an IPhone and you miss a key now and then or autocorrect messes you up. Then I would have to call you an a$$ for nitpicking….
…..But I won’t
I would point out that you can’t spell, but I won’t. That would be trolling.
Keisrwetter? Good thing we got Klinsman cause it looks like out senior team will be all German born players…
Another indictment at the lack of soccer development in the US oh theirs Salgado…oh wait he came up through Chicas de Guadalajara
Agh the Germans from Hertha this time it’s Kieseweitter
Can we just pretend the US finished second since our record was better than the second place teams?
Fire Klinsmann….”If you’re not first you’re last”
Good tournament, but where you place doesn’t mean much. As we see the US didn’t lose a game but yet didn’t qualify for the championship even though they had the same record as the top two teams, the only difference was goal differential.
Told you Juergen would fix everything about soccer in the US.
Actually do we put this win as the first in the Klinsman Era?
With these types of tournaments it is great that they got to play three games in which they performed well. The trophy is worth as much as the experience each of them recieved.
