Cugalabanza Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I can't believe it. I'm !@#$ing heart sick. This sucks. Lots of blame to go around. Don't know what else to say. The USA program is totally lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 What? This is crazy. When was the last time USA has not qualified? Not a big soccer guy, but I do pay some attention and definitely look forward to the WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebug Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 '86 was the last time. This is just awful. I was wondering, almost expecting it to be 1984. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockpile233 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I probably won't watch a single minute of the World Cup. My entire interest was watching the USA. I imagine I'm not unique in this regard. This must be a huge step back for their program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Damn. First time since 1986 that the entire U.S. won't collectively pretend to give a schit/know a thing about soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the "entire U.S" is not invested in this. For the few of us that follow this, it's a big deal and it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 The United States Does Not Qualify for the World Cup I'm sure that all 23 National Team World Cup fans in the US are devastated by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I can think of three resolutions if it isn't too late: 1. Protest the game because they had to play two countries. I don't know much about soccer because it blows, but I think they could have beaten either Trinidad or Toboggan. Having to play them both sounds unfair. 2. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Hook up with another country that just missed and try to get in. USA & Chile? 3. Make up a new tournament like the NIT for soccer. Put it on FS1. Personally I hope they don't do any of that stuff because I don't want to listen all Summer to how soccer is overtaking baseball and other sports and is on the rise in America. It's not. The only thing it can beat is the Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont be the same without the US participating As a big fan of the USMNT, it's kind of like, for a Bills fan, if the Bills bombed out so bad, they were not even allowed to play in the NFL next year. So, of course you knew they weren't going to win the superbowl,...you knew they probably would miss the playoffs yet again, but you still wanted to at least get to watch them play some games. But nope. Oh, well... Edited October 11, 2017 by Cugalabanza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Brutal they couldn't edge out Costa Rica or Honduras. Would place 5th or 6th in any group in Europe at that rate this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If that. CONCACAF is a joke compared to UEFA. They politically correctly set aside multiple spots at the World Cup for regions that don't deserve more than 1 team (if even that) so CONCACAF gets spots it clearly doesn't deserve by world ranking. Losing to Trinidad & Tobago is like losing to Faroe Islands or Vatican City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing to Trinidad & Tobago is like losing to Faroe Islands or Vatican City. It's not all that black and white. From top to bottom, obviously uefa tops concacaf. But in the last WC, Mexico, USA and Costa Rica all made it to the knockout rounds. Costa Rica won their group (over Italy, England and Uruguay) and very nearly made it to the semis. I think Mexico and CR could do well next summer too. Honduras and (maybe) Panama, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I have no idea how Mexico and CR could do against the rest of the world. I only watch European league and Champions League and the UEFA/South American qualifying rounds as a habit. But if you have corralled all that PLUS Mexico and CR for ranking with some kind of credibility, hats off to you as a fan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
