Date: July 8th, 2026 1:42 PM Author: "im pumo now" FIFA is also extremely corrupt, notoriously corrupt Expecting the US to play like countries that put Olympic levels of resources into the game and have decades long recruitment and promotion programs is just absurd This world cup has been very fun to watch though, some excellent performances. I enjoyed the recent Norway game |

Date: July 8th, 2026 1:34 PM Author: cumstein The Belgium game looked like pros versus high schoolers. It was embarrassing. Watching our guys try the same ineffective shit over and over with no idea how to adjust was maddening. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5880781&forum_id=2,5#49986302) |

Date: July 8th, 2026 1:38 PM Author: "im pumo now" So I heard that the US uses a very different system for recruitment and promotion compared to Euro and African countries and the model we use is supposedly inferior (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5880781&forum_id=2,5#49986308) |

Date: July 8th, 2026 1:33 PM Author: cumstein There’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to find 25 American athletes who can learn to pass the ball around effectively. This is fucking stupid. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5880781&forum_id=2,5#49986299) |

Date: July 8th, 2026 1:43 PM Author: "im pumo now" As a percentage of spending on $port soccer isn't up there for the US I don't think talent is scouted for anywhere near as aggressively as it is for football or basketball |

Date: July 8th, 2026 1:52 PM Author: .,.....,.,.;,.,,,:,.,.,::,...,:,..;,.., we're a rich country and have massive pools of athletic talent through college football, basketball, etc. the idea that they can't find and train ppl within a few years is silly. create a d-league with a few dozen or so players and pay them an NFL rookie salary and then have a bonus guaranteed if they make the USMNT in 3 years or so. the idea that soccer is some high level discipline that takes a lifetime of training to master is fucking retarded.

Date: July 8th, 2026 2:21 PM Author: "im pumo now" I think that sort of dismissive sentiment in your last bit is part of the issue, many Americans share that and wrongfully so It takes decades to get proper recruitment camps and apparatuses set up and comparatively the US level of spend on soccer has been much lower Personally I thought the US team did pretty well. I remember a few years back the American team got eliminated by Belgium in the first or second round. It's an improvement. The next year's performance will probably be even better |
