What the **** you guys? Are we watching the World Cup 0.5 here on American soil? Yes, Yes we are. The opening game, USMNT vs. Columbia, is tonight at 7:30 MT on FS1.

Will Klinsmann opt to start a conservative line-up with four center backs and three defensive midfielders? Probably. However, there exists a chance that we will see the likes of:

Bobby Wood, Who is a good soccer player. He'll play for Hamburg next year after breaking the 2 Bundesliga scoring record for Americans.

And:

Darlington Nagbe, the first American, in fact, to learn how to play possession soccer in midfield at an acceptable level. He dribbles, moves into space, and doesn't lose the ball. In the game above he completed all 33 passes attempted and scored a goal.

Who the **** is that? Oh, that's Christian Pulisic. He plays for Borussia Dortmund. Why does he look like he's fifteen? I don't know. Actually I do. He's 17 and looks young. He also scores ****ing goals for a top 7 team in Europe, and already has one for the Nats.

Please pray that you see these guys on the field tonight because they're real quality. I hope and pray to god that Zardes and his angular, concrete bricks he calls feet don't stay on the field for too long.

Go AMERICA!!

I hope Columbia scores multiple Goals in the game, I love their celebrations. I just hope the USA scores more!!

Overall I'm excited for this tournament!!
 
I mean every USA soccer game I watch. We just seem way less skilled on ball compared to every other country.

This is objectively true. The three players mentioned above, however, are skilled on the ball.
 
Bad first half. Our midfield has been bad with no attack to speak of. Wood, I like him but he looks jittery.
 
Colômbia is way better than Usa.
But the question is: since 2010 i don't see any improvement. They need better pieces, no doubt, But could be in a higher level as a team atm
 
seeing the US lose in soccer always makes me giggle.
