Antigua and USA all tied up 1-1 with 85 mins left.
Ah guess the laugh is on me.
Business as usual...
Listen guy, it takes ah big man to admit guilt, i will never stay here and say that the US is ah sh!t team, on the contrary, i will always give props to them for their approach to the game and the level of heart and endurance they have is outstanding, as a matter of fact, they are the best team in concacaf as far as work ethic go, and yes, the USMNT is ah BIG BIG team,
but i can't help but hate them for their unmitigated gall to think that they could just condescend on the rest of cancacaf, and think that they can run neck and neck with the rest of the world super powers of football! yes donovan is real good, and so is dempsey, and you also had some fantastic players over the yrs, fellas like reyna, mc bride, koby jones, KC keller, johnathan specter and harks just to name ah few.
these players as with most US players are technically strong and could hold their own, but with all that, the only reason yuhs guys are better than lets say, a jamaica or a panama is bc these countries don't have infrastructure like mexico to develop their game, but give it time, i predict in the very near future the US would be catching hell to qualify just like argentina does in comebol.
did you see how they catch hell to beat antigua barbuda? expect more of the same in the future. enjoy the ride for now.

What gives you the idea that other countries are catching up to the u.s.a? The only country I can see (outside of the minnows) that has gotten a lot better is Panama. The U.S.A has played a few bad games, so what? It happens. Every other team except Panama and Mexico aren't improving. The MLS clubs are now only starting to turn out decent graduates. Who isn't to say their team won't get better in the future?
