If you cannot beat the US in soccer

You do not deserve to go to the world cup.

This.

>You can't beat the US?

>can't beat the USA at YOUR OWN HOME TURF
how many times will they get 7-0 in confed cup?

Mexico played their C team though. They are already qualified & they want to play the Confederations Cup.

Meanwhile USA is very complicated, if Panama wins you are out of the WC

Why didn't you get the message in the thread you just made that you're completely and utterly wrong?

>if Panama wins you are out of the WC
You, uh, know there are 4 more matches, right?

The only thing Mexico can beat the US in is obesity

>if Panama wins or draws with a 4 goal surplus we don't get invited to the World Cuppe
WE FUCKED UP WE SHOULD HSVE WON

>>if Panama wins or draws with a 4 goal surplus we don't get invited to the World Cup
'no'

Boludo doesn't know that Panama still has to play at the Azteca. Go worry about your Italian midget not winning a world cup or a copa america.

>The ol' "It was just a prank bro! That wasn't their real team!" routine

Explain

There are still 4 more matches. Costa Rica and Panama at home, T&T and Honduras away.

Even if Panama wins 100000 - 0 USA is still in playoff spot. Would play against someone like Uzbekistan.

Never mind that there's still 4 games left.

Thanks friends this is my first soccer season. When do you think America's real athletes begin to play this game btw ?

Once football gets shut down for BTFOing kids' brains 2bh. Baseball is not as popular as it used to be, and hockey takes too much money. Basketball and soccer are the future methinks.

How can a country that cares so much about soccer be so mediocre at it?

According to Mexicans, Mexico has never played their A team

Hahahahahha

>Mexican "soccer"

Who /Chivas USA/ here btw?

Good thing we beat them in Columbus :^)

Messi is actually the best ever Argentina are just choke artists

Having the best athlete doesn't mean you're the best soccer player, if that was the case Ivory Coast and Ghana would have world cups by now, look at Messi, Pele, Maradona, not great athletes but the best among all time

>best ever argentinian
>wanted to quit the team after being butthurt

>mythical mexican a team

that team would win 4 straight cups winning every game 7-1

thanks friend

but we chocked in the Azteca, ese

You beat the retarded kraut in charge at the time but have yet to get the better of the Arena.

Yeah sure but they still all choke around him while he carries them almost single handedly, theres like a 40 percent win different without him in the past year or two

What???

But look at Englands U20 team who were completely blacked and won the chip and not to mention all of the most hyped young players are "athletes"
Just look at France's national team
America has to recruit our best athletes from football and basketball if we want to win a World Cup and it's undeniable

You don't understand at all. At younger levels, it's true sheer athleticism has a better impact. But with time technical and mental ability develops and comes to the fore. That's why a lot of "really athletic" younger players fizzle out in their mid-20's. They rely too much on that brand of soccer and don't broaden their skill set.

The true GOATs have to have an added mental element that isn't usually accompanied by overly dominant athleticism.

The problem is a lot of the potentially best soccer minds/bodies go play football/basketball/baseball and disappear, it's not that the best soccer players are transitively the best basketball players.

U-20 doesn't mean shit when it comes to senior team though, obviously athletes against younger opponents and less skilled opponents will be better, doesn't matter if you're faster and stronger if the other team can pass it all around you and just be more precise see: Africa, yes you need good athletes, but good coaching and technical ability is more important, if we want to win a World Cup we need good coaching at every level, Jozy is a tremendous athlete but he's only an above average soccer player

>Dozy
>above average
That's stretching it by quite a margin.

Look at Pulisic. He's kind of short, scrawny, and isn't the fastest guy out there, but he's statistically and observably becoming our best player. In the meantime we've never had any shortage of speedy or athletic players here.

It's not what we've been missing at all. And for what it's worth, naturally, basketball playing ability would not translate to soccer ability very well at all. Tall, gawky guys with poor center of gravity and comparative foot control are basically the worst possible soccer body.

the only basketball players i could see being good are westbrook, iverson, maybe paul

You're still under the delusion that soccer is a game of skill. Maybe 20-30 years ago but just look at all of the GOATs of the recent past
>Rapid winger/striker who just runs past the defense and latches onto any through ball
Henry, Ronaldo, CR7, even Messi used to be insanely fast at his peak
Every elite level striker or winger is just another guy who runs very fast. Hm I wonder which population in our country fits these characteristics?

Look for players that are 6'4 and under, with great lateral quickness and a vision for the entire court (so a good amount of assists). You'd have no way to tell how good they are at shooting or dribbling so you'd have to rely on skills that translate over. So yeah, maybe Chris Paul.

>Look for players that are 6'4 and under, with great lateral quickness and a vision for the entire court
you just described literally every running back and most wide receivers in the nfl

>Vela cuts inside like Robben
>it's painfully obvious he's going to shoot from the first dribble inside
>it seems like hours pass until he shoots
>literally nobody comes to help Beasley at all
How did this happen? We should have won.

>insanely fast

No. If you actually watch the league play they are not "insanely" fast. They are fast just like most strikers and attacking mids are but it isn't their premier quality. It's vision and more importantly technical control and dribbling WHILE moving at a very quick pace. That is the threshold precious few players, especially those of elite physical ability, pass. The fastest players on the field are typically wingers with comparatively poor technical ability, their job is to simply run the ball up and down the field and cross shit in. That's where most of our "fastest" would end up.

>every elite striker or winger is just another guy who runs very fast

Just to reiterate almost all professional strikers and wingers are fast, that isn't unique to any of them, and Messi/Ronaldo are not the fastest, they make the best decisions and control the ball the best.

you just listed a bunch of guys who were among the most skilled in recent years, though those guys do all benefit from great physical attributes too tho.

there's no GOAT level player without incredible skill
A guy like Pirlo was never really a specimen.

Running backs have terrible vision. They aren't looking at the whole field, they are looking for a seam directly ahead of them. Quarterbacks are more comparative in that regard. I don't think you understand soccer or football for that matter.

>Wide receivers

are you fucking serious? They literally run routes. Lines on a piece of paper another man draws for them.

>canada has a gold in soccer

>Thats more than most countries in the world cup and in north america


"" thas rite""

>Running backs have terrible vision.
>this entire post

pic related is (You)

>Running backs have terrible vision
The city of this dipshit

Then explain England and France. Not just their national teams but their leagues too. It's not just a matter of being faster, it's the whole athlete. They've identified their strongest athletes and they are winning. Why can't we?

>Barry Sanders had terrible vision

>>Wide receivers

>are you fucking serious? They literally run routes. Lines on a piece of paper another man draws for them.


Wingers

are you fucking serious? They literally run up the field and cross it in. Lines on a piece of paper another man draws for them.

england's national team isn't that good at all, and their best player right now is probably either alli or kane, neither of which are set apart by their physical ability. again, it helps if you are strong or fast, but you're never going to be a genuinely elite player without having the requisite skill. we have terrible youth development and a lot of kids with that sort of coordination wind up playing other sports and not excelling.

>Runningbacks have terrible vision

things the u.s. needed to tie with mexico

>mexico's entire midfield except hererra being non-existent
>defense crumbling like always
>memearito cucking himself
>parking the bus from the 2nd half onwards
>no tecatito
>vela disappearing for almost the entire 2nd half
>guardado and layun, one a leader, and both big parts of mexico's offense, not playing.

hmmm. really nice fag "rivalry" we have here.

Can you read between the lines? Why is are guys like Alli, Dembele, Pogba, Mbappe, Rashford, etc the new generation of GOATs even if they aren't simply the quickest? They are superior athletes. The sporting brain is part of that. Next evolution.

You're all retarded. If using Messi as comparison

>be small
>be autistic
>be GOAT

Simple. Has little to do with physical ability, most to do with mental.

>we didn't even have to play brooks, dempsey or johnson

>Alli, Dembele, Pogba, Mbappe, Rashford
>new generation of GOATs
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>Marcelo

>Real Madrid, the KKK of European football, is all but offering up their daughters virgin cunts along with a half billion in compensation and transfer fees just to have Mbappe play 4-5 season for them. Keep laughing tho

>usa starting BRAD FUCKING GUZAN

that's quite literally our C team out there you stupid chicano poster

and we still beat you 1-1

I think the US team suffers from coordination the most, they seem to panic and wing it a lot of the time.

We did playing away.

T-they have a M-messi clone!

You lost 1-1 in your pussy Aztec Stadium

>and we still beat you 1-1
>You lost 1-1
Top kek this shit will never get old

Stay obsessed, Dracula

>no one in america cares about povertyball
>send literally 8th tier athletes down
>country is SEETHING after being BTFO by trump
>USA wins 1-1
>w-w-w-w-w-e d-d-din't even have our A team

is there anything more pathetic than mexico?
