The domestic, B, C, MLS or whatever you call them team won their 7th Gold Cup in dramatic fashion. Many players on this roster are going to compete for roster spots on the World Cup roster if we are able to get through qualifying starting next month. The Roster for team USA has never been deeper. Who is your starting best lineup?

Mexico’s reign is over and will never return. What we’ve all known would eventually happen is happening right now: the United States of America has young players that were trained properly as children and our true potential is in sight. Mexico plateau’d a long time ago. Our ceiling will always be higher than theirs. Any loss to Mexico from here on out is an upset. The United States should never lose a game in concocaf again.
Would also like to mention how incredible our depth at keeper is. Turner, Horvath, Steffen, even Sean Johnson could start and I’d feel comfortable.

I believe a lot of these guys on the gold cup squad are going to get offers from European clubs. I agree that this may be the beginnings of a new era for USA soccer.
I believe team USA can challenge and compete for a World Cup trophy. Does that mean I think it likely? Probably not, but they are not so far out as one may think and if you take them lightly, you will pay the price. Our fitness in this last tournament was outstanding. When it came down to the final moments of close games, we persevered, conquered, and came out on top.

There is very little media coverage of team USA’s victory in the media. I noticed that when we lost our to TNT to go the World Cup, there was all sorts of coverage of it on TV. But now that we do well, crickets. We live in a strange time philosophically. Anti-American Americanism is rampant in the philosophy of Americans. As a kid, I remember watching the USA hockey team beat the Soviets. That was the most proAmerican time of my life. Now, it is a time where sophistry rules and people tell you America is Geaux Saints. Team USA has to win in this sort of environment and win games in their home stadium where they are outnumbered in fans. If you watch the media, all you going to get is trade deadlines in the NBA. No one watched the NBA this past two years, yet you turn on the channels and it is NBA, NBA, NBA.

I’d say the lack of coverage is mostly due to our stars not being in the squad. America doesn’t like a B squad and we certainly don’t like not being the best. As our best players continue to win with big clubs and our national team starts to compete with the big soccer nations I expect that coverage to skyrocket

Drudge Report has a link to the women crashing out of the Olympic tournament. No mention of the men winning the Gold Cup.

Anti- American Americanism is the new propaganda being disseminated in our media culture. www.friesian.com/antiam.htm |

The Lonzo Ball trade got more publicity than the USA’s Gold Cup win. They never talked about Ball all season when he was with the Pelicans. The new trend though in the NBA to win a championship is to get old Pelican players and coaches on your roster.
