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.

He embodies the problem of US Soccer by irishlawyer

He will get a Cup Cycle. His bro will make sure of it.

It's that cocksure attitude that they are right and everyone else wrong that makes every USSF Board Member a total asshole. It's the professional level arrogance of coaches who think parents are jackasses. The board thinks that American soccer fans are total idiots and they are the smart people in the room.

It used to be argued that the USA had not style of play. I used to argue that the USA had no country-specific tactics but that we did have a style of play: We will out-f*cking hustle you to every ball for every f*cking minute of the game. Landon's Algeria goal was a good example. John Brooks vs. Ghana. We took it right to you.

Gregg is on record as saying he wants the USA players to "play calm".

F*ck him.
