The War of 1812? Nah man. The US literally invaded Canada and got their asses whipped for it.
Fun and harmless banter aside you’re 100% correct. The US has the youngest team at the World Cup this year. Loads of talent when healthy but completely out of their depth and knowledge on the words biggest stage.
Group F looks like an absolute shitshow. I think any of those 4 could top the group. I personally believe Moracco has the best squad coming out of Africa.
If the US would start funneling their gene pool into football instead of the Big 3, the the US would become a heavyweight in the space of a generation. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that all the young guys in the small Colorado town I moved to all played soccer for their school teams, so maybe it's not too distant...
True, but we randomly kicked the crap out of the vaunted English Navy in that war somehow.
The good news is that no schools in America teach about that war in any way. We just ignore that it happened.
I think you’re right. We are building for 2026 with this group.She's awful, she really is. The whole team are really.
The American lads by contrast are all alright, just a load of soccer nerds....like the ones on here. Pretty harmless at the end of the day.
They have a young team, majority will be at their first ever WC. I think it's more of a learning curve for them really, building to 2026 when the US are co-host. I don't think it's trolling to say that.
You know, I only just recently learned that The Star Spangled Banner is actually written about this war. I always assumed that it was from the Revolution. Schooled in Britain I never even knew the war had ever even happened until I moved to the States.
Battle of Baltimore baby!
The talent will get better over time. We’re seeing more quality Mexican Americans and kids whose parents immigrated from Central American countries playing for the United States and naturally they are incredible talents.
Can’t throw the last game to come second for an easier route though this time.
Definitely, not to mention all the players who are now moving to European leagues and playing high-level. It will pay off in time.
John Herdman has them playing as a team, I'm only suggesting they'll get some results in their group and surprise some people.
Jonathan David is also good
Strange how we all see things differently.
I think that France, Denmark, Tunisia and Peru(if they qualify) could be the trickiest group.
No one. They play super defensive and are good on the counter. I went to the US-Canada game in Nashville and it was boring a fuck. Canada just sat back and let us have the ball.
I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but I would not be surprised if anyone in Group F, including Canada, topped that group. I think that is clearly the strongest group 1-4.
Belgium always under perform, Canada is a lot better than most will give them credit for, Moracco is in my estimation the best African squad, and Croatia is a WC finalist.
