Heck of a match. SheBelieves Cup.
USA gaged multiple times in regulation and in the shoot out. Still found a way to win.

Euro Cup starts Friday.
In other news, why did the Wizards sign Vermes for so long? They’ll have to pay out his contact to fire him…and the Wizards are in shambles.

is Pulisic the greatest American footballer ever?
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

For career? No. Not yet.
For peak? Likely our best but you could argue that we've had some world class goalkeepers.
Tim Howard played for Manchester United and Everton for a long while in the Premier League.

For biggest stage performances for the US, it's tough to beat Howard's round of 16 match versus Belgium.

I think Pulisic's peak is already better than Landon's or Dempsey's.
( though, to be honest, Dempsey had a few excellent seasons for Fulham - I think he finished top 5 in 'MVP' voting for the entire league one year )

Dempsey was so good for a stretch of time.

Negative. $108 for super nose bleeds. I’ll let others be a better patriot than me.

Can someone tell me why Copa America is being played at Children's Mercy Park and not Arrowhead?

Probably because they don't expect Peru to be that hot a ticket...and Mercy is just a way better stadium for soccer if you can't get over 50k fans ( i'd argue even if you could get over 50k fans ).

USA v Uruguay will be at Arrowhead.

Offsides just needs to be completely altered.

If that Dutch goal today is offsides we have a problem.

I think offsides should honestly change to defense player last body part not in front of offense last body part not first offensive body part past last defensive body part.

This would lead to more scoring and more fun runs. You’d still have to be mindful of offside traps but there’d be more break aways with the keeper.

I wonder what the breakeven amount of ticket sales would be at Arrowhead to staff and run the stadium for a soccer game.

Boliva +1600? Ok, I'll throw in $5 and then $5 on a draw at +600.

On another note, I have mixed feelings about this.
