    The same problems we had all tournament finally came back and bit us in the ass. We were never ready at the start of games and we couldn't capitalize on golden opportunities.

    Good game, but heartbreaking.

    I don't understand the inexplicable giving up a goal in the first 15 minutes of first halves (both regulation and OT). It's like they're the Astros and want to lull you to sleep. It was a great run, and good training for the younger kids (Bradley, Gomez) but the coach needs to have a better feel for his team (why pay Findley, Clark?). I applaud the team for their effort. Best of luck in 2014.

    Let's be fair, in bball you can also dribble for 23 seconds and do nothing but waste time.

    I blame the Coach Bradley. He started 2 scrubs! Findley and Clark after having so much success with a different squad

    I blame alexi lalas too! he is so damn arrogant on the post and pre match shows.

    oh and BrooksBall for the jinx lol

    It reminds me of how the Texans start their seasons. They're just not ready at the beginning and don't get it going until later on.

    Look at my threads. I am huge soccer fan. I genuinely want the sport to grow in this country. But when you SEE the player sitting up, looking at the ball, and only falling to the ground when the ball goes out to the US it's all too obvious, especially when he takes the stretcher and walks across the field to be subbed out.

    And Ghana did this to us four years ago to get the penalty kick then; a flop in the box.

    The bandwagon on what exactly? US Soccer, or soccer in general?

    Yep. All the "new" fans are now non-fans. All of a sudden, Americans don't give a **** about soccer again.
