They way they played last night, gave up ran amok no one should be a fan of them. And yes I’m actually questioning my fandom. Haven’t seen many teams give up like the USMNT did last night

It’s not his fault they played like this they were genuinely scared to pass the ball

You are a fair-weather fan. Real fans support their team even when we're disappointed in their performance.

No it’s not just their performance. They gave up, didn’t care anymore. You realize how bad that is for a player of your national team? In a game at the World Cup?

If you’re struggling to be a fan after last night’s performance then I have no idea how you’ve survived the last 10 years

That is my point. Last 10 years they didn’t poop their pants this bad

Are you forgetting when we failed to qualify for the 2018 world cup Probably since you're a fair-weather fan

I remember vividly I was in my room when it happened and caught the end of the game when they were losing to Trinidad and Tobago. We have different definitions of failure for this team. I think having a home World Cup and quitting in the middle of the game is worse than not qualifying

That’s because we weren’t even IN competitions like this except for the 22 World Cup where we honestly barely made it out of the group. In other words, we didn’t even have pants to poop

22 World Cup was twice as good as this one imo at least they didn’t stop trying to equalize against the Netherlands. They did in the 2026 RO16

I disagree. I would rather win the group and a knockout game than fail to qualify in a match against Trinidad. I feel like that should be obvious.

I disagree. With a performance where they genuinely stopped trying, that is inexcusable. I would rather them stay home than have them play scared like they did last night

You're a dunce if you genuinely believe that. You'd rather us have not qualified? Be serious you're a fake ass fan

Personally, Winning the group and a knockout game, losing in the round of 16 to a quality team > Not qualifying at all It's pretty simple

You are simplifying my arguments. It’s not that they lost. It’s that they gave up and stopped trying. Anyone supporting that is the real dunce. Yes I would rather have a team that tries and doesn’t qualify than one that gives up on the pitch and rolls over and waits for the game to end

My jaw dropped when they took out Pulisic. A real superstar would’ve pushed through, and good coaches would’ve put some pride back into their players

It’s not that we’re defending the team giving up. We’re not trying to say that (or at least I’m not), what we’re arguing with you about is giving up on supporting them at all. You want them to act like a proper team and not give up, then we as fans and supporters also need to not give up on them

I always take a team that puts effort the whole games. Not putting effort into a game for your country is the ultimate sports sin

Yes exactly. From the jump the players didn’t even believe they were as good as Belgium and got in their own heads

And I’m in agreement with you that they shouldn’t just give up, but neither should we. Take your own advice

They are done for none of them have any real passion for playing for the US. Dest was awful last night and seemed like he was ready to get subbed off. No protesting of the subbing off. I can tell you so many other moments of the game where the team was genuinely checked out

One shit match with some errors and they've "lost your support" You're a loser. If you don't mind me asking, which club do you support? Personally, supporting a mid-tier bundesliga team I'm used to hardship in this sport. It's not always going to be perfect, we're not always going to win, and sometimes we'll lose and look like dogshit and I'll be unbelievably disappointed. That's part of the game. It can be cruel. You don't revoke your support due to one lackluster performance though.

Again, i understand that part and am in agreement with you on that. Our best player by far was Malik Tillman last night. However, other players like Chris Richards, Balogun, and Freeman had a good tournament overall. We have other young, up and coming players who I think would kill to play for the USMNT badge like Diego Luna (who should’ve been apart of the squad)

On top of that this was our first World Cup in a long time with an actual manager who knows what he’s doing. If Poch sticks around and helps build a legit foundation for this team, we COULD become something great. But part of that responsibility falls on us as fans to continue backing our guys through thick and thin and not abandoning them

Oooh what Bundesliga club do you support if you don’t mind my asking?

Eintracht Frankfurt have some familial ties to that city. It can be very tough at times lol but I'll never stop supporting them

Great club. How you feeling about Nathaniel Brown’s move to Bayern?

Anonymous #10 10h

He was a fantastic player for us so I wish him nothing but the best! We got a lot of money for him which is great, but it's always frustrating feeding Bayern all that talent. Hope we can reinvest the money well. Which club do u support?

Inter Milan. I have never seen them give up though in soccer but I have seen US soccer do it

Well I support my local club which is Atlanta United (so I also know a thing or two about hard times 😭) but I’ve been into football since like 2014 when I was a lot younger and Atl Utd wasn’t even a concept yet, so I began supporting Manchester City because my favorite color is light blue. Didn’t find out about the oil money stuff til much later and by then I wasn’t gonna switch clubs

Hahaha yeah that's cool! Being able to watch Haaland every week has to be pretty fun. For MLS I also support my local club in D.C. United. The MLS is so much fun to watch people hate on it wayy too much tbh

Anonymous #8 9h

Bro the growth the MLS has gotten recently makes me so happy. Is it mostly because of Messi? Sure. But honestly who cares? It’s bringing more attention to the league as a whole and we’re actively seeing growth and improvement of the league. Now all we need to do is get a relegation/promotion system going and we’ll be golden

And yes, I’ve known Haaland since he was at Salzburg and I was screaming with joy when I saw the Here We Go by Fabrizio when he signed for us

Tf does Trump have to do with any of this lmao he really lives in your head rent free huh

Have you not been following this situation or people’s reactions to it at all? People are upset that *Trump* may or may not have had some part to play in Balogun’s red card penalty getting suspended, making it pretty clear government interference in a sport and that’s what has people upset. The USNMT didn’t ask Trump to do that. Trump has everything to do with the situation

They didn’t ask him to get involved. But they did benefit from his decision. I didn’t see anyone agreeing that his involvement was uncalled for

Idk, his involvement is quite literally what I’ve seen most people being upset about
