This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The ref has been by terramarirish
shit. But I don't love the idea of blaming him for our shortcomings. We've had chances.
Bradley has been an unmitigated disaster. Did you see him let his mark in behind as the buildup to the goal was starting? Fuck me.
I hold Berhalter responsible. Bringing Zardes on...when has that *ever* been a good idea? Not recognizing/correcting the Bradley situation; either via sub or tactical adjustment? Inexcusable.
This is complete bullshit. But, honestly, didn't we all kind of expect us to stink the joint up coming into the tournament?
Edit: And now changing left backs down a goal? Huh? Add it to the "wtf Berhalter" file.
