After all the USSF did to gain an advantage,
we only managed to win 1-0.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

That's kind of my point. How much "advantage" did we get from manufacturing unplayable conditions?

The opposite point may be more valid:
Without the snow, it is a draw or loss.

So now the USSF is racist? How woke of you.
FYI, immigrants are everywhere in this country.
I have relatives in rural Cascadia, middle of nowhere.
Their schools have many children of immigrants.
 

I didnt say USSF is racist - I said there is a shitty attitude there. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You only get the next Pepi to pick the US over Mex if he views it as his team. The trade off on getting young guys like Pepi is, in my mind, you can't avoid ever playing in demographically "tougher" venues.

 

With the talent this team has, I trust our guys to win a dog fight anywhere in the US - will make them tougher. This is the turning point for the USMNT we've been waiting decades for and you want them to keep acting like scared underdogs.

 

Side note, I'm so sick of the insult "woke". If you disagree with my point, say it. Implying I have an immature world view is intellectually weak.

Bollocks!

In your mind, adequately describes it.
The next Pepi will not base his decision on which country to choose to play for on the venues of USMNT games.

Were you at the CR game in RBA?
How about the Gold Cup final at GS?

you want them to keep acting like scared underdogs.

Again, BS. I am OK with wherever they play, while agreeing with their choice to play wherever they want, the same as every other country. Unlike you.

I'm so sick of the insult "woke".

Touched a nerve? If the shoe fits

If you disagree with my point, say it.

Fine. Your points suck, as does your reasoning.

Implying I have an immature world view is intellectually weak.

I did not imply it. I said it.
P.S. 5:48 AM? Looks like you Woke up early!

It's not the same roster, this team has shown it can win.

Yup makes me think of the Nations League Final...which I'd say from the looks on TV was a much tougher crowd than the one at RBA that day against CR (for the record, I was at the CR game).

Friendly upcoming in LA. Supposedly will be MLS-based players from teams no longer in the playoffs. 


RIP Guillermo Romulo, Alexander Francis Orig, Celenio Eleazar, and my Mom, Resurreccion Eleazar.

 

RIP Cesar Castello, Mike Vallo, Glenn Stampiglia, Bob Paquette, and Warren Lee

I don't have it in me to go back and forth, but you are arguing that the US should play all of their games in Ohio, Nashville...  and I am saying, sure, play there, but don't be little bitches and not play on the east coast because we are scared of Mexican fans. Side bonus to not being little bitches is thats the way you get the next generation of US citizens with Mexican heritage - show we are the better team. 

 

(Replace Mexican with any other nationality) 

 

Also, I was at RBA for CR - that was a different team, not the sort of guys that shush thousands of people while getting cans thrown at them. The current squad is young, but they have a real fight in them.

I don't know how I keep letting you troll me, but I do. I concede. All remaining US Concacaf games should be in Ohio. Only in Ohio can the 12th best team in the world succeed against teams like #49 Costa Rica, #40 Canada, or #63 Panama....

Admit it. Deep down inside, you love it.

Not what I said, but OK.
Until Columbus is no longer politically correct.
