I care deeply about the US Men’s soccer team.
The 2002 World Cup was our high.
A lot of the same.
I bring that up because of what happened this morning at the Olympics.
Obviously it’s a little different there.
It’s our U-23 team with 3 players allowed overage.
Fine, whatever, every team has this rule.
I don’t care that Morocco brought in Hakimi from PSG.
We need something better than this:
What happened today was no different of what we’re used to.
Or at the minimum questionable calls against us.
This didn’t even go to VAR, which apparently only happens after hour long delay.
Whatever, 1-0 at half.
Can come back from that, right?
I don’t know what has to change.
I’m not part of the US Soccer Federation (which is a disaster).
People keep talking about too many ties to the MLS and how it’s influenced there.
All I know is I’m so fucking sick and tired of watching the same old story.
Trying to play it into a success to get out of the group when we were expected to.
Just start competing against teams with talent outside of Mexico.
