We are in great position to qualify for the WC. If we just build on our exceptional young talent and play like last year, we should qualify. Can't wait to get it going, GO USA!!

I love this. The moment I saw him shoot at the goal we all knew it was a reference to the last presser.
The only feeling I can compare to is my Real Madrid. I'm 29, and I have the conviction I will see the USMNT become world champions within my lifetime. This team is royal too.
Hasta el final, vamos Real.

Triple G be like, "still got it." Where was that shot against Germany 2002? 😉

Nothing like preparing for winter games in Minnesota and Ohio like having a camp in… Phoenix

[TheDjcarter]

and hopefully most of the guys we saw in that video aren't actually on the pitch...and the camp is in Phoenix, you should have the camp in Michigan or Wisconsin or Maine since US Soccer set you up to play your next three qualifiers in below zero weather.

If our games are in Columbus, OH, Hamilton, ON and St Paul, MN…. Why is training camp in Arizona?

If we schedule these games in cold cities during winter to get a competitive advantage over Central American teams then let’s exploit that and have our guys in the elements now. These MLS guys just came from vacation in Hawaii to training in shorts and tshirt in Phoenix. I think we’re losing that advantage.

Nice little promo video for Phoniex Rising haha

[cincyorangeman]

GGG showing he can still challenge for that starting CB spot lol.

[jackied]

It's supposed to be 4 degrees in Hamilton next week. So is training in Phoenix where it's been 70 all week really the best preparation?

i love you usa 🇺🇸❤💙 . from iranian 🇮🇷 . 🇮🇷💚❤💙🤝🇺🇸

[singleplayernacho]

Say what you will about tactics but how do you not love Gregg

[SiMoney_x]

please don’t call up any of these guys but Turner, Robinson, Zimmerman, and Johnson

[ewhulbert]

Wow, Greg can still whip it in there. I guess I forgot he was a lefty...or can he hit it that hard with his weak foot?

[adebomiarogundade]

Hello, I'm from san Antonio Texas gonna be 22 by April...it's really my dream to play soccer at the highest level possible and i really need a trial

[sammmyyyboyyy]

ya we definitely need to focus on fitness. that makes a lot of sense. half our team couldn't dribble or pass through anyone in europe. but fitness. that's probably what we need

[Pregamechat]

Yo I just found out today that Jonathan David was born in Brooklyn smh

[benwhealler]

Why do those balls sound like they’re filled up with too much air? Lol

[netflixandreels]

Thanks, now bring in the good players

[Sikthkid]

All I know is Arriola and Lletget should definitely start every game in the future for all time, no exceptions, no need to be playing or contribute or progress or get better. Always and forever, starters until they can no longer walk forever of all time even 30 years from now. GGG is the best of all time. Please don’t look at their stats, just start them okay? Ok thanks, World Cup Final here we come.

[aaronhall]

Please continue to give roster spots and minutes to Arriola, Lletget, Roldan, Zardes, and Yueill, so that the US fan base can continue to laugh at you (Gregg). I like each of those players hustle and attitude, but it is crystal clear that their talent-level is not worthy of USMNT participation. Hope we qualify despite the lack of accountability at the top of USSF and USMNT.
