I mean from not on until forever with the WC cup setup both will always qualify. This match is yes big but its also mostly meaningless. We also get to host the Gold Cup every single time now too.

yeah and then have all the important games in southern California to get that $$$$ from Mexico's fans. Gold Cup final in 2011 it was in the Rose Bowl with at least 2/3 of the crowd wearing green. lol all I'm saying is if it was reversed the USMNT would've been in Mexico on Tuesday night and Russia on Wednesday then play saturday
 
Klinsmann would have sat 10 back and praised the squad for playing courageous free flowing footie holding Mexico for to a 0-0 draw.

At least w/ Arena we are fun. We don't have to be the best in the world, just play stuff that doesn't make me want to vomit.

Extremely stupid of them.

Same subject for us. Short corners drove me nuts all night on our side. You start 3 center backs and play short corners all effing game. Let the big dogs eat.

The ref was going to blow his whistle about 3 sec after the ball was kicked.
 
Decent game. Not sure what Beasley and Guzan were doing in that squad, but OK.

Bradley was surprisingly solid, thought Acosta wasn't bad either. Thought Cameron was really good, but maybe that's a product of the 3-man back line, giving him freedom to move into a spot to stop/disrupt?

Never heard of this Arriola guy before. Thought Wood was ok and Pulisic too, but they were asked to do a lot without much support. Almost a moment of magic in the mid-80s with Pulisic, but I guess he's allowed to miss a few as well.

Bradley needs a CM who can pass and we only have CMs who pass even worse than Bradley.

This is one reason I laugh when people get all over Bradley and call for his benching. Who exactly are you proposing takes his place? And even if we find a DM capable, who do you pair that replacement with that's better? Bradley is far from perfect, and his form has slipped a bit since he quit Roma for Toronto, but all the same, he's the best option available in midfield.
