This would never happen to men's team in Basketball. I wonder why US doesnt create good soccer players year after year like what happens in NFL, NBA, and MLB.
all the talented athletes are playing those sports instead of soccer since it's just not as popular in america

This. MLS doesnt pay anywhere near the level that other sports in the US pay. Its simply more lucrative to play American football.

You want him to dive and miss it by 4 feet? No goalie alive can make that play from that position. He should be mad. His defense was out of position. They were lazy and not following their mark. Same thing happened both goals. Its pretty easy to defend if you mark your man, but we gave them free runs.

We played a pretty solid half, but two mistakes and we are down two goals. I dont think we have the goal scorers to come back from down two at the half. We had a handful of chances to get one, including that absolute gift wasted by Pulisic. We should have chances to get one back, but coming all the way back is tough.

Not just that, but grass roots simply isn't there yet. We don't have coaches that can identify and nurture youth talent like they do in the soccer powerhouse countries. Lot of it is still run by dads who don't know what they're doing and politics of "I'll play my favorite people's kids up top, tall kids and parents I don't like go in defense."

There's less than 2000 total men per year that get paid to play American football in a country of 330+ million people.

Yeah soccer is definitely not something you just succeed in on a whim. You can be a generational talent, and most likely the US system will just wreck you. It's not like other sports where you can make up for a lot of deficiency with physicality either. You gotta literally obsess yourself in the sports

And oh god how the hell did that not go in. That was a really weak finishing attempt on a pretty decent probability situation

Lol wtf where is that number 2 kicking the ball? Are there people in the far upper left corner playing soccer?

Also Frenkie De Jong has looked unimpressive for the entire tournament.

Plus, and this may just be anecdotal to my experience, but we have dog shit actual support from general fans. I fully expect to see a lot of people criticizing this team and how they suck and can't even win a world cup while the women have dominated for years. That's not not a mindset to harbor children who want to play and succeed at soccer in this country.

Lol that US women's team was beating an undeveloped and low skilled Thailand team 13-0 and celebrating every goal like it was the championship winning goal.

Ridiculous the women's team are getting half of the USMNT's revenue for this world cup
