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. 🤷🏼♀️

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.

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.
One year out from a home World Cup, a struggling #USMNT will be without its star player.
Christian Pulisic may need a rest, but his absence from the Gold Cup hits differently. Needing a cultural reset, the USMNT missing its leader and the face of the program hurts.

Christian Pulisic missing Gold Cup: Bad look for the player, bad break for USMNT
At a time when the USMNT needs an uptick in fortune, form and vibes, its on-field leader won't be in uniform.

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

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.”

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.

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

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 🙂↕️
