Interesting article on why we may be underperforming this cycle. A "missing generation".

I had tickets for this game and then relocated for work. Friends still went and said the atmosphere was amazing. Wasn't too pumped about the game when I first got the tickets but with what it meant to our qualifying hopes it turned out to be a must see.
Also with all the talk of home games feeling like away games due to venue choice I think we can all agree this was a great atmosphere.

USA impressed by Orlando City Stadium support: "It really helps us"

I have to do my part to prevent the miscperception that the crowd at the CR game was pro-CR. It absolutely was not. Vast majority was USA fans - the problem was that they/we sat on their hands after the first CR goal.
It wasn’t too few USA fans - it was just too many low-quality USA fans...
Or a team that was too low quality to get the fans rolling.
The flaw in the article is this (and I admittedly just skimmed it): that gap may not be a talent gap as the timing suggests it could have just been a Juergen selection gap. That period seems to coincide with the rise of the non-US born player. Who knows how many skilled US players that could have made an impact have been overlooked?
Too me that’s the same problem - “you only sing when you’re winning,” is not a compliment.
I disagree. At the CR match, the fans were very loud, but when the team didn’t show up to play and didn’t bring their own energy, and went down a goal, the crowd got quiet. Were they low-quality, no, but they were more reactionary and fed off the play on the field. One goal would have ignited the crowd, can’t even imagine what 4 goals would have done. It’s hard for anybody to continuously smile and sing when getting punched continuously- and that’s what CR did to the US for most of the match. USSoccer, the players, and the press have just spun the RBArena match to put the blame on the fans when the team that night was garbage.
