It looks like the options are to stream online or watch in HD on Univision. Why is Fox playing a Champions Cup game over the Gold Cup?

LOL! I knew we would lose the shootout. The team I am cheering for always loses once it goes to a shootout no matter what league, or level of play we are talking about.

Our defense is terrible, especially Brooks who constantly lets people get behind him. Please bring Beslar back, he can't be any worse than this. Bradley was pretty unimpressive all tournament, we need to find someone else to take set piece crosses, he wastes about half of them. Maybe I am spoiled from when Donovan was around and he rarely hit bad ones. Please bring back Feilhaber, he actually has some creativity to his game. Corona was pretty worthless.

I wanna give him his free pass for this entire tournament and move on but if all the signs are true we could be really tanking andwould be evem more bad by 2019 dempsey and howard retired.

I don't follow soccer very closely, but I do remember hearing how much US Soccer is growing and how things are looking up for the future and what not after the world cup last year.

Now all of the sudden, we should be worried about the future? What changed, besides losing when we shouldn't have, in a year?

That's how being a US Soccer fan works. We're so used to dominating our region that any time we lose, it's the end of the world. Just go back and read the reactions after we lost to Honduras in 2013 to see how everybody thought we were doomed and JK couldn't cut it, etc.

Bradley has been super overrated by US fans as a result of the gaping chasm of talent in the age group behind Dempsey and Donovan. He's the only good one, so he suddenly becomes great.

Like, there's a reason dude got chased out of Roma by a guy who doesn't even play for Belgium.

He's definitely been propped up by the fans, but he's also had some sensational games in a US shirt that people remember too. On the Roma thing, he was never going to be a good fit for the Italian game with how physical they are in the midfield. Serie A sucks anyway.

I don't think Bradley is overrated. I think people know he is good player and within the USMNT a very good player to have, simply because there is no one else in the midfield that can do what he does. He isn't a top European player and he never will be. However he is a top USMNT player because the talent just isn't there at the moment.

I know I would rather have Bradley than not have him in the current USMNT set up. I am still disappointed by his last World Cup. He played very well in the lead up and then just disappeared, that Portugal match being the worst of them.

Roster for the friendlies:

Sept 4 vs Peru at 7PM
Sept 8 vs Brazil at 8PM

Next big match for the US is October 10 against Mexico at 6:30pm EST. Winner of that match goes on to represent CONCAF at the Confed Cup in Russia in 2017, I would imagine it is a must win for Klinsmann and the US really needs to be in that competition.

Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), William Yarbrough (Club Leon)

Defenders: Ventura Alvarado (Club America), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Greg Garza (Atlas), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Michael Orozco (Club Tijuana), Tim Ream (Fulham)

Midfielders: Alejandro Bedoya (Nantes), Joe Corona (Veracruz), Mix Diskerud (New York City FC), Jermaine Jones (New England Revolution), Alfredo Morales (FC Ingolstadt), Danny Williams (Reading), DeAndre Yedlin (Tottenham Hotspur)

Forwards: Jozy Altidore (Toronto FC), Aron Johannsson (Werder Bremen), Bobby Wood (Union Berlin), Andrew Wooten (SV Sandhausen), Gyasi Zardes (LA Galaxy)

^ I don't think its useless for the US to be competing against some of the best teams in the world and try to win a tournament like the confed cup. It only raises the brand value for football here in America but more importantly gives us a very good gauge on our squad one year before the tournament.

I wasn't American during the confed cup run we had in South Africa but my mates were ecstatic with the Spain and Brazil matches.

^Agreed! I think it really helped in 2010. That group of players had experience in 2 Gold Cups, Copa America, the 2008 Olympics, U-20 World Cup, and Confederations Cup. It's not a bad thing for some of the younger players to get put in a tournament environment while wearing a USA jersey.

We were totally outclassed by Brazil. Our team looked so much slower than them, other than Yedlin. Bradley had another subpar performance, he is too slow against teams that play with any pace.

Donovan is like the stain on your crisp white shirt that just won't go away. Where is my tide to go? This has been is still trying to stay relevant.

i agree to some extent, but at the same time he was answering a question. So it's kind of a 'meh' moment to me.

It'll be 150 degrees in there like it always is when there's a big crowd. That place needs to invest in a new fucking AC system.

They have expanded and its usually not bad as long as it isn't packed to the point where there is no room to move. I think the World Cup crowds were an exception, probably won't get the same turnout for this.

And our U-23 team has to beat Canada and Columbia back to back to get to the Olympics.
