    Such an embarrassment the US isn’t in the World Cup
    How the fukk does that even happen? 325 million people and we can’t find a few players who can beat countries whose players learned to play the game on a dusty field kicking a ball stuffed with straw between two Pepsi cans.

    This was supposed to be US soccer guys best moment. Oh well. At least we’ll make it in 2026.

      Look at the best players in the MLS. They are from overseas. You can't win without a top class striker and the US has none. Do you remember who was the US best player in last World Cup? Tim Howard. The goalie. Here is your sign!

                We are the only Country who doesn’t bring their best 23 athletes to the World Cup. That’s why we don’t give a fuk & this year by default we really don’t care as Americans.

                          Just seems like an excuse,the US has been decent in prior WC.They should have qualified this time,had a perfect chance to do so.

                            Nobody cares? Americans get into the World Cup
                            Every 4 years- once it’s gone? Nobody watches the MLS

                                  Soccer would be more popular if the field was about half the size.

                                      Soccer has never been an American sport, we are still babies in the game but catching on quickly.. Colleges have women soccer.. Womens soccer especially caught up and excelled, mens not so much yet.....

                                                Too tall and too heavy. You need to develop young kids in soccer academies and they will become good players. Converting NFL and NBA guys to soccer players is not the answer.

                                                      They're all Muslim refugees living in Italy now what do you expect? Soccer taking a hit for recruits now..

                                                      Americans think this about soccer.. We'd rather shoot hoop, play stick ball or throw the pigskin around growing up..

                                                              Pavy. What I meant to say was nba pg types and NFL secondary types should train their kids to play soccer. If there was more incentive as far as money and fame they might choose soccer over football or basketball

                                                              But ya you are right it's all about the youth culture

                                                                UEFA qualifying is tough though there will always be big names not at the world cup, in saying that the Dutch and Italy are two that you would assume to be there every time. When it gets to 48 it's really going to take the fun out of qualifying for the most part, exciting for the mediocre teams I guess, oh and us down in New Zealand!

                                                                The US would have to implode incredibly to ever miss a world cup after Qatar.
