Pretty excited for this Gold Cup. With the new format for our Confederations Cup representative, I am much more invested in the Gold Cups than I was before. Would be great to quailify for that and NOT have to play this years winner in a playoff.
USMNT has looked very good recently, and we are starting to see (I think and hope) the fruits of Jurgens labor the last few years. The younger guys who have been in his system are starting to make inroads a lot sooner and look much better than previous regimes. It seems every game we have a new name pop up and make a difference in some way. I always hated how the USMNT coach didnt get to oversee the youth teams/programs the way he wanted. Glad that has changed for the better.
The best they looked was their friendly recently against Guatemala. I just felt they moved the ball exactly how I think soccer should be played. Look to attack, keep the passes short and crisp, and don't dick around with it while in the offensive third. They have never had that type of attack. It's always been sit back and then counter good teams. Hopefully they continue that trend.
Also wondolowski should have been kicked off the team once he missed that sitter against Belgium. Useless twat.
