Sorry to say that actually I’m one of the people who thinks Paxten Aaronson’s MLS move is very bad for developmental purposes and I think it’s gross of the Rapids official social media to troll USMNT fans over their concerns. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Huge night for Diego Luna and Matt Freese 🔥

Diego Luna is special. I hope he makes a move to Europe soon

I have never been less excited for a USMNT match than I am today. I really, REALLY don’t need Trinidad and Tobago to confirm my worst fears about this team a year before a World Cup yet again.

Welp. We stood in the pouring rain once again just to watch the USMNT lose. But at least I can always say that whenever we play in Hartford, we WILL fill the stadium up, even in awful weather. Us CT folks love our soccer.

God I miss the days of Dempsey & Howard. 😭 I can forgive Gio, Dortmund doesn’t have to release him for international duty which is what it is. When it comes to Pulisic and now Musah though? I have no sympathy. The lack of fire and passion is embarrassing. I agree with you, make Tyler captain again.

This really feels like more of an all time low for the USMNT than 2017. I’ve personally never felt worse about this team, and at a time when I should be the most excited I’ve ever been with the World Cup just over a year away, all I feel is apathy. I hate this.

Juan Soto hit on his first at bat as a Met. This spring/summer is looking promising 💙🧡

Tough week to be a USMNT fan. This team is in shambles. Symbolic of how our country is in shambles at least

Clint Dempsey is a legend. Forever my favorite to have ever played for the USMNT and he just solidified that spot by singing Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade when they showed an old picture of him with an emo haircut on the broadcast

Poch has the guys looking so good out there. This was an actually exciting January camp?! I didn’t think such a thing was possible #USMNT

This is not what happened, at least on Instagram. On Instagram, the old Biden admin accounts are all still active & show as created in January 2021 with all follows, posts, likes & comments still available. The new Trump admin accounts that people are being forced to follow were created this month.

It’s ok to feel sick over the state of things.

Tim Howard lays into “stupid” USMNT star Christian Pulisic over ‘Trump dance’ In a column in the Daily Mail, ex-USMNT goalkeeper Tim Howard was highly critical of Christian Pulisic’s celebration against Jamaica.

Tim Howard: “Doing a dance that mimics Donald Trump is stupid. Why? Because, whether it’s the president of the US or my neighbor down the street, I would never back someone who I believe is racist. I wouldn’t glorify that... Any show of support for Trump is political.”

I don’t necessarily think we need to keep politics off the pitch - soccer is inherently political. The problem here is that supporting Trump isn’t simply a political opinion, especially not now in 2024. It’s a statement on believing that not everyone deserves basic human rights, respect & equality.

It makes me sad that Pulisic did that stupid dance last night. This team played the best 90 mins of soccer that they’ve played since the few games we got under BJ, & now instead of being able to talk about that, all the conversation is (rightly so) focused on “Captain America” supporting a fascist.

We’ve had some defensive mistakes but otherwise, they’ve looked so much better tonight. The start of the Poch era is so exciting 🤩

Seeing as Pulisic did the Trump dance, I think it'd be totally reasonable to ask him post-game about how Trump's policies would directly harm many of his teammates and their families

The #USMNT are looking like a different team tonight. Hope they can keep this pace up for the full 90

I feel like it’s a really good time for y’all to turn off the news and start that overdue 200 hour Stardew Valley playthrough you’ve been putting off. 1.6 update is out, a new farm is calling you. 👩‍🌾🌾🐔

Don’t mind me just searching “USMNT” on here and following everyone that comes up. Hi to those people. I can’t promise I’ll have any insightful takes, but I can promise I’ll have fun watching the match and will enthusiastically like all of your posts about it 🙂‍↕️
