USA has long way to go before becoming even a blip on the international soccer scene.
That is probably obvious to most people, but I just need to get this off my chest.
I am watching U20 USA against U20 Ecuador. Now at the end USA did tie it 3-3, but just watching them play, they looked lost. They got their goals on lucky passes when Ecuador fell asleep. They cannot generate offense. And this is the U20 team. This is the future of USA soccer.
When they get the ball even in midfield they end up passing it back to defense instead of pushing forward. They cannot beat anyone mano y mano. If they do move forward, they have to pass it immediately instead of driving it themselves for a bit. Ecuador got so bored they fell asleep and just allowed three goals.
And Ecuador is like the bottom feeder of Conmebol. I dont know what USA Soccer is doing. What the hell is that academy in Bradenton doing? These kids have no ball skills.
