Am I wrong to feel that it's weird for Sunil Gulati to say anything less than totally supportive of Klinsmann right before a do-or-die match?

I agree it would have been nice to make the Confed Cup (especially after wining Gold Cup #1), or at least make the final in Gold Cup #2, or make the Olympics (Jurgen is Technical Director), but we are a program in transition with a ton of youth coming up through the ranks (accept for keeper ironically). There will be some growing pains. I'm not happy either about the last year of US Soccer, but I'm willing to give him till Russia to see how we've grown.
I just wonder if it's a matter of timing. How many times does he give press conferences or take interviews?
He's been the best player on the field for Costa Rica so far IMHO
Matta was good. Wish he could make more of those with us but lately I feel like PV has been more reluctant to unleash him due to us being wrecked otherwise.
I love Matta and I like to wear NYC tinted glasses as much as the next guy but 4-0 USA! I'd think most of us would be more interested in that fact than how Matta performed.
Disagree Adam. Hamid and Horvath are studs. Horvath started champions league matches this year at 20 years old.
The best baddest news of the day was to come home and find out that The Good Ol' USA was ahead (2- nil .)
The Ticos are a tough bunch but finally our boys showed the world we stand united .
Oley, OLEY , OLEY.

Draw Saturday gets us through, but Paraguay are not slouches, and need a win to advance. Thought our midfield was incredible last night. Only change I make would be zardes and his concrete boots.
Had to drive my mother to Yonkers last night during the game. Was disappointed to find it wasn't on the Sirius Soccer station. Does anyone know if this -- and other Copa games -- are on radio anywhere? I punched in a few of the local sports stations and think I maybe found it in Spanish on one of tham but that did me no good, and I'm noot even sure that's what it was.
PS: Siri was useless. Couldn't even give me the score, and was unable to find any USMNT games since March 29.

Should have told your mother "After the game ma". Of course you would have gotten grounded but hey, it is what it is.
I'm well aware you're over 50.
That's what happens when you're put out of your normal position. I do wonder though what value he brings. Doesn't seem to have a major impact on the game. Loses the ball easily, doesn't make effective runs.
I also imagine giovinco is cap tied right? If not get that man a US passport. Both him and big apple jack.
I'm no Zardes fan, but he absolutely makes effective runs. Its one of his few good qualities. The unfortunate part is his first touch is Khiry-bad and he is dis-possessed often.
That's my feeling too. And it looks even worse when contrasted with watching Pulisic on the ball. If you favor defense and tracking back, then I guess Zardes is your man, but he takes away so much of what we want to do on the offensive end to create chances and maintain possession; that one could argue that makes him more of a liability then an asset when measuring the whole. That and all of our bias to see Pulisic get a damn start. Let the kid play!
