Pay-to-play needs to be eliminated and the USSF needs to be purged at the top. Fire them all! Gulati, Arena, just leave!

Which... why is he sounding like my PM? And she's terrible.

Oh yes. It was bad. Super uninspired whereas T&T were fighting their arses off.

US soccer isn't going to go anywhere bc none of the governing bodies want to invest $$$.

Yikes. jazzypom October 11 2017, 10:49:20 UTC

Yeah, I got caught up. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when people were saying that the USA playing Trinidad and Tobago was unfair because T&T are two different countries.

Some people were trying to use the excuse "But football is the most popular sport in T&T, unlike in the US!" and I'm just like, LOL. Everyone knows it's cricket; they've got superstar players from T&T in West Indies team like Dwayne Bravo.

Switzerland were robbed :( Hope they can win the playoffs!

I'm not too familiar with Twellman. I know he's a former US player. He once commentated a match I watched and was pissing off but this is just super entertaining (and true):

To piggyback on Bretos' joke of jumping on the Iceland band wagon, this was one of my favorite tweets last night from one of my favorite people.

No USMNT in the World Cup? Get ready to hear where a lot of people studied abroad.

Lmao, if that actually happened, there won't be place in Iceland.

Oh yeah the USA were bad (I didn't watch all of it as the matches overlapped). All they had to do was win and it wouldn't have mattered what happened elsewhere. Completely lifeless.

Messi was amazing. They were lucky the ban didn't stick!

e: Fox paid $200 mil for the 2018 WC rights. Fuck 'em.

The Messi Tweets & memes are killing me. XD So a) HE has to stay healthy, b) that vile, wretched snake Di Maria has to stay healthy; ditto for Romero (God bless him, best back-up GK around).

US: hopeless mess. Fire 'em all & send Germans to teach them how to actually run a footy federation. Stay in the Bundesliga, Pulisic!

Looks like Tim Cahill will have to keep carrying Australia as well.
