I am so tired of USA soccer.
I keep waiting for this giant step forward, but the national team has been stuck in neutral for years now.
Ever since the excitement of 1994, I have been expecting a gradual improvement on the world stage.
Everytime they play a quality opponent, they get exposed as a 2nd rate team. It has been that way for years.The defense last night was horrific, and even though they scored twice against Petr Cech, both goals were from sloppy set-pieces.
The commentators last night even suggested before the match that the USA has a golden opportunity vs England in the first round of the World Cup.....yeah right. I remember the same chatter in 1998 against Germany, and Germany annihilated them (score was not indicative of the domination) You can throw the rankings out the window - the USA is still not a player on the big stage.
(Now watch them come out blazing in the WC2010 - LOL)
