Fair enough, but don't you move Dempsey up to the front instead of playing Findley? What pictures of Bob Bradley does Findley have?

You certainly do. Findley is the soccer version of Bethel Johnson, all speed and nothing else. The US Soccer Federation should have given Jurgen Klinsman the keys to the castle 4 years ago. Bradley really is a shitty coach. However, the bigger problem is that the US squad just isn't very talented when compared to other top teams, which makes it incredibly difficult when playing top tier teams.

Exhibits A through Z as to why the US had to win their group are on display right now. Germany along with Argentina have been the 2 most impressive teams to this point.

Also Exhibits A through Z as to how overrated England turned out to be, and how a tie in that game was actually a bad result.
Brazil and Portugal look like the two most impressive teams to me.

On what planet has Portugal been impressive? They showed up to actually compete in 1 game. In the other 2 they spent 90 minutes trying not to lose. They might be really good, but they certainly haven't played like it. The performance against Ivory Coast was disgraceful. Brazil has been pretty good, but hasn't really dominated the way you'd like to see from them. Argentina on the other hand is massacring teams.

Could any USA kid kick like Tevas..no we play basketball and football....with our great superior black athletes.
Chalupas are going back to Mexico and then over the border....

I think it's more that FIFA has a fascination with "the beautiful game" and "tradition", stuff they don't want to spoil with things like "fairness" and "accountability". They probably think the NFL and the MLB are ruining their sports.

To some extent they are right. That said, there aren't enough goals in soccer to make replay a real problem. It's probably the sport best suited to replay, similar to the way it is used in hockey.
