Idk I don't like our national team much. We literally have one good player and he got hurt scoring the last game. I read that manchester united wants him to replace Ronaldo...Pulisic I'm taking of. so that tells you how good he is.
I notice watching other good teams when they get close to the goal they don't just take a stupid shot that has no chance.
That's where defense is the toughest so the most skill is needed to make that little pass or move to set up someone else. From what I've seen in my whole life watching soccer Team USA is never good at that.
They have athletes that can run but that skill is not there outside Pulisic. I haven't been following them closely so maybe I'm completely wrong. Their last game is the first I've watched entirely in a while.
It just reminded me of so many other team USA games I've seen past 20 years. It's always the same. I mean I'll be rooting for them not saying I won't be. Just the lack of progress over all these years is a bummer.
American kids don't play soccer pickup games i think is the problem. That's what kids in every other country in the world just about do. That's why they are better than us cuz it's a way of life. in our country if you don't play at school on an organized team then you aren't playing soccer ever.
