It's the same thing, every single time. The US media, ex-players, pundits... everyone screams at the sky, claiming the US has a shot to compete for a World Cup. And every time, as soon as they play a real, big-boy team, they end up looking like a JV squad. Completely outmatched, outclassed, out-everythinged. Like a team of children vs. a team of fully grown adults.
It's clear that these are our forth-best athletes vs. the world's first-best. That all of our greatest talent gets funneled into the NFL, MLB, and NBA and then our soccer teams get the left overs. And as long as that continues, these sorts of embarrassing losses will be the result.
