And then Uruguay players climbed into stands and started fighting fans??

Apparently some inebriated Colombia fans started going after family members of Uruguay players, including elderly parents and at least two newborn babies. Will be interesting to see what the fallout is. One Uruguay player came just short of calling for Colombian fans to be cut off from alcohol - no way in hell that happens.

And Klopp has already turned down US Soccer.

Time to see which unrealistic candidate the insanos on Twitter and r/ussoccer will settle on next. Zidane would be my bet. And then they’ll be out with the torches and pitchforks again when Cherundolo is inevitably hired.

Pep Guardiola.
Carlo Ancelotti.

Either of them will be eager to work with a powerhouse like the USMNT!

The powers that be at US Soccer have no ambition if they don’t hire Pep!

Echoing a Reddit comment, it’s good for US Soccer to publicly ask candidates like Klopp because

a) it never hurts to ask

b) when the offers are quickly rejected like this it helps to show the delusional portion of the fanbase (and media, looking at you ESPN) where the stature of the job actually lies.

The first one's actually true.
The second is just fodder for people like you.

Hiring a higher profile coach could actually raise the stature of the job all it takes is one coach to actually take a chance and go sure I'll do it. Klopp would have been wonderful but he was a pipe dream because he's stepping away from managing... it's why he left Liverpool. But it doesn't mean you stop going after people who maybe considered reaching for the stars hires

The list of names the odds makers have drawn up after Klopp said no is a real head scratcher. Granted, I'm not much of a fan of MLS but I didn't even recognize half the names. Interesting to see Steven Gerrard on there at 9-to-1

US or UK?

If it’s a UK oddsmaker I can kind of understand Gerard. He does manage a Saudi team and did play for the Galaxy. Still, not a real candidate.

Realistic bets, in order:

Steve Cherundolo (manager at LAFC)
Wilfred Nancy (manager at Columbus)
Peter Vermes (manager at Sporting Kansas City)
Brian Schmetzer (manager at Seattle)
Pellegrino Matarazzo (manager at Hoffenheim, US born)
Jim Curtain (manager at Philadelphia)
David Wagner (formerly at Norwich)

Those names look familiar. Nancy is the favorite at 6-1. Cherundolo was tied with others at 7-1. ESPN uses the odds makers from ESPNbets, so they could be based anywhere.

Another MLS hire would just solidify for many that US soccer doesn't care if they blow a home World Cup.

It's sad that I can't just block you because it would block the thread but you really are a *******.
The MLS is considered a worldwide joke and I'm sorry if that offends you but it is. You want to raise the profile of soccer in this country You do it by caring about the World Cup not trying to prop up a domestic league that doesn't play by the worldwide rules and is considered by many high-end players to be nothing more than a retirement league
