  1. I don’t care what the haters say. Bruce Arena is fucking legend! He’s dedicated most of his professional life to the growth of soccer in this country. He tried to clean up SOMEONE ELSE’S MESS with the USMNT but the damage was too deep. Put the blame on the USSF and the fraud they hired and kept for 6 years.

  2. Much respect for Doyle but he totally takes Nagbe’s talents for granted. If I had an MLS club or managed the Nats (and he still would play) he would be FIRST on my team sheet.

  3. Matt Doyle sucks! oh and we should worry about qualifying first instead of thinking we can win 2026. The kids have potential, so lets get them to achieve them by giving them some time together and built chemistry.

  4. "All the things you can do technically as a goalkeeper", you mean like flicking the.ball over Castellanos' head and keeping control of the ball on the other side in Orlando's first ever play off game. If it was needed somehow and Orlando only had 9 outfield players Gallese could probably do a job somewhere on the pitch

  5. Oh yeah. Let's act like Louisville City do not exist and aren't actually good. Louisville and Cincy are rivals as well as Louisville and Nashville and now St. Louis since Cincy and Nashville aren't in USL. No chance "Bluegrass Derby" or anything similar is the moniker for a Nash v Cincy "rivalry".

  6. You interviewed the Bill Obrien of USMNT. Arena was an awful national team coach. Hey the only ones that can play are from MLS. Tough, smart, dependable, what a c$%t

  7. Lol ok you have a few good players at top teams but winning the World Cup? For real France Brazil and Germany could send there B team squads and they would have a better chance than the USA of winning the World Cup.

    Maybe if the MLS/US soccer invests in grass roots soccer like basketball/football/baseball then maybe they could challenge by 2080 ?!? 😂😂

  8. I see so many pessimistic people. Of course they can win the World Cup. The only way this can be possible is if these players avoid any career threatening injustices and they stay consistent and keep improving in their club.

    Pulisic, Dest, Musah, Mckennie, Adams, Reyna are all under 25 and have skilled unlike any players we have seen. Let’s not forget that we have home advantage in 2026.

    These players are showing good skills in Europe top leagues. It’s possible that they can drop their level from time to time but any players that shows talent in the top clubs and is under the age of 25 has potential to become world class players. The US doesn’t just have one or two players with promising talent. They have atleast 10 players now is true that anything can happen but as of now they have potential.

    The question is will they win the World Cup? Winning the World Cup doesn’t only require skill but luck too. In the past there has been teams worthy to win the cup and didn’t. These teams have been Hungary, Netherlands and Belgium.

  9. Hahah that title is laughable at best. I’ll repeat this as long as the USMNT can’t beat Mexico in CONCACAF to the point where the USMNT is considered the top dog let’s please not talk about winning the World Cup lol

    Beat Mexico first and then let’s talk.

  10. I feel so bad for Cincinnati. I wish them another mediocre season…lol. No, a good season but not better than NYCFC. Honestly I think it's sad that there is only 576 views. I mean, I'm not criticizing you guys, I'm criticizing fan participation. Wow!! guys as a NYCFC fan, I'm full on buggin'. I feel so in the dark. Coach is talking about how good the home growns are doing which I love , but come on…we need some big purchases and idk wtf is happening. I'm seriously beyond frustrated being that it's 3/11. Honestly we're gonna pick up people in the second window I hope because maybe 2 signings so far. idk what to say.
