My idea would be to take a group of US players and designate them for an MLS team, so they can play together as a team, then you could add a few players from the Euro Leagues to give them the talent, but the core of the team constantly plays together.
In International soccer, especially in tournaments, team cohesion overcomes individual talent.

Why couldn’t this have been Keith Olbermann, the stupid Dork, and not this poor guy?

Exactly, soccer is SO boring as well. Baseball can be at times, but my sport is Hockey.

Coincidence: George Best died 15 years ago to the day. 1 yr different in age (59 vs 60), but similar internal organs.

Apparently some people think this guy using his hand requires JFK assassinations style analysis.

'
I knew it was my hand. It wasn't my plan but the action happened so fast that the linesman didn't see me putting my hand in. The referee looked at me and he said: 'Goal.' It was a nice feeling like some sort of symbolic revenge against the English."'
Yup. Sounds like a Commie. Would be a typical Bidenista in 2020.

I saw both Best(in his prime, against Ipswich) and Pele(with the Cosmos) play, missed out on the Maradona.

Imagine if the UK had a united team instead of individual teams, with all of the great Scottish players in the 70s, along with Best, probably would have won at least one more World Cup.

Maradona had a subdural hematoma - brain trouble.
Rush was right back in the '90s when he warned us against soccer.
