USA NOT going to FIFA world cup for the first time since 1986.


The most popular sport world-wide, and the USA, just lost 2-1 to the worst team in qualifiers... All the USA needed to do, was tie or win, and they would be playing in the 2018 FIFA World cup hosted in Russia... They however lost to Trinidad and Tobago, a team that is complete and utter garbage, guess the USA was worse this year.

I for one, am very saddened about this. Football is my favorite sport, I watch it more than anything MLB, NHL, you name it, football is my go to sport to watch... However, once every 4 years, when the World Cup comes on, it is the only thing that trumps Football for me, so for me, I am really bummed about this outcome, and probably will be even more annoyed once the world cup rolls around next summer...

2010 - USA makes it to round of 16, off of an amazing Landon Donovan last second goal.

2014- USA makes it out of group of death, losses in Round of 16 again.

2017-18 qualifiers losses to a team that isn't even qualifying for the world cup...

I dont know how to upload a video here but if you want to see just how awesome it is coming together to root for the USA once every 4 years, click this link below. it shows non-soccer fans reactions to our country winning in 2010 making it to the round of 16..... It was amazing, and so was 2014...

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world outside of America. Here obviously it takes a back seat to NFL/MLB/NBA in terms of viewership on a TV set... But soccer is very popular when talking about kids playing certain sports, its just simply not watched at a professional level here in the states...

In europe and throughout the world, Soccer to them is like our football.... So to me, YES I would love to kick the entire world's ass with our team... frankly wont get another chance for roughly 5 more years now.

Frankly, we haven't ever had a chance. And it's not changing anytime soon.

thats a really good point to be honest... Because other countries funnel everything into soccer, we are funneling so much talent into so many other areas.... Never really thought about it that way.

The only thing the United States should ever lose to Trinidad in is number of deaths of cholera/dysentery/coconut crab bites.

but it's soccer so this loss doesn't really count anyway.

I'm sure things like that will help.

However, in most of the rest of the soccer crazy world, kids are kicking soccer balls around the living room as soon as they can walk and dribbling balls to and from school and everywhere else they go.

That just doesn't happen on the same scale in this country. Even soccer mom kids aren't, for the most part, focused on it like in other countries. I'm sure there are exceptions, but until it becomes a bigger norm, I think the US is going to have a hard time competing.

I'm rather indifferent. I enjoyed playing as a kid, but I don't think it is that enjoyable of a spectator sport. In some ways, I would rather the US be indifferent than to take it really seriously and still come up short on the international stage.

They didn't deserve. They have sucked and regressed for a while. Klinsman didn't develop a center midfielder, a goalkeeper, or a forward for the future. Bradley should have been off the team after the last World Cup. I am disappointed but, truthfully we suck.

I'd give it 20 years. The concussion issue will spark a massive surge of soccer talent in the USA. Kids will chose soccer over football.

The big money is in baseball and basketball.
