RE: OT: Officially The Official Soccer Thread
So..Fox let Bruce Arena work as a "pundit" for the match today. Now, lets ignore how mind-numbingly stupid it is to allow the coach of a team that just failed to get the team to the world cup appear on television the VERY next match. But instead focus on what he said. Because there were some real uhh...interesting quotes here

1. "Miazga and Brooks was likely going to be the World Cup Center Back Pairing"

Hey Bruce, that's great. I really appreciate that you thought so much of Matt Miazga that you brought him in for exactly 23 MINUTES of Hex Qualifying. So He's good enough to start in the World Cup, but not in World Cup Qualifying.

Also, that drew the ire of Geoff Cameron, who let out a nice tweet about how great it is that "real coaches" don't listen to studio analysts anyway.

2. "There are no players falling through the cracks in the US Youth Setup"

Oh Great...I'm glad to know that there are approximately zero examples out there of kids who were ignored in the US System only to go play in Mexico/Europe and make a name for themselves. Sure...Good on You Bruce

3. "My Biggest mistake was calling up 5 players from Europe for the September Qualifier against Costa Rica after the mostly MLS Side won the Gold Cup"

Wait...You mean the Gold Cup that featured Mexico and Costa Rica's C teams, and ended with us barely surviving a not full strength Jamaica side in the final? Cool. Yeah, I'm sure that team would have done REAL well against the Costa Rican A side.
