Didn’t even make it last year.

You make it this year and kinda flop in your first game.

First post on this board is about how the coach is inept

Well, for one, the world/FIFA hate the idea of the US being good. We're never going to get even refereeing in big tournaments.

We are also the youngest team at this WC

? Don’t understand how it’s flopping to tie a team that is essentially equal. I get we scored first, but Wales made great adjustments at half.

We’ve never really had a quality coach and probably never will

the cold hard truth is that the USA isnt good enough. We are getting better through investing in youth development, but we arent there yet.

Clumsy centerbacks and lack of clinical finishing would be my top 2 reasons.

FIFA only cares about money. They’d love for the US and China to be great at soccer.

Is China bad at soccer because FIFA hates them too?

And giving the men's earnings away to people that aren't earning it.
Virtue signaling is getting expensive.

But one way to minimize how much you give away is exiting the WC early so you don't earn very much.
