So what happens if they don't make Russia? Fire Arena and start over then, or commit to him for another four years?

Arena is probably done after 2018 no matter what. A national team coach should very rarely be in place more than one World Cup cycle. The goal isn't to find some sort of Greg? Popavich mainstay. It's to keep the program on track and progressing.

Eh, there's really not much into the whole keep your national team coach for one cycle concept. Germany and Spain have kept the same coach for multiple cycles and they've had their best runs yet.

So all USMNT has to do is have the talent pool the two best teams of the last decade plus? Exceptions to the rule don't apply here.

BENTEKE scored but you can't stop Bob Bradley

Jesus that plane crash is sad

[jwfocker]

Just awful. To be one of the players that didn't make the trip due to injury or some other reason must be absolutely soul crushing.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Amazingly powerful scene at the Atletico Nacional stadium yesterday. Man...

That was heavy as shit.

I can't believe the piece of shit that heads the Brazilian FA forced chapecoense to field a team for their last game of the season.

Fuck that guy.

Lol@Bob Bradley

[numbers]

Feel bad about Bob getting the sack. A respected American manager in the EPL would have done a lot for US Soccer's reputation.

[verb_to_trust]

The Swans looked like they had given up on him. Sad, but I wouldn't have trusted Bob with the January transfer money either given the team looked worse under him.

so ronaldo turned down 100 million a year

[verb_to_trust]

Well maybe he sees Tevez is getting 750k a week in China? Ronaldo should get double that.

Giroud has just scored a freakish goal. Just outstanding.

[verb_to_trust]

And his was onside

[verb_to_trust]

Man U just gets to score goals from offside positions now I guess.

The fastest way to relegation is if I decide to root for your team.

You haven't followed Benteke to Palace, have you?

[verb_to_trust]

Pretty impressive free kick by Rooney

[verb_to_trust]

Bayer score three today but still none by 'chicharito'. I hope that douche never scores again.

You haven't followed Benteke to Palace, have you?

I did. I think I'll root for Arsenal next year and really test the bada curse.

How did the Kansas Kicks do today?
