After 3 consecutive championship titles, the U. S. failed last night to advance to the CONCACAF Nation's League final, igniting criticsm from fans online about whether Poccitino is fit for the job.

Some factors boil down to players from European clubs being jet lagged as well as the schedule change, as the final is usually held during the summer, as well as the US team having too long of a break in between games.

But Poccitino's starting line up, substitutions and strategy is also questionable, especially after he went back on his promise of not starting players who get little to no field time in club matches.

The U. S. had bad luck throughout the last decade with coaching and failing to reach major finals and once even failing to qualify for the World Cup.

And with the Gold Cup coming up this year and the World Cup coming up next year, should the U. S. not take any chances and just replace him now, or should they wait to see how we do in the Gold Cup?

The U. S. has historically had the best results with American coaches

Who knows, it may be revealed to us soon that a lot of our experiences and struggles back then were unnecessary or in vain. I know I hardly remember anything I learned in school past the 4th grade. Once you have basic reading, writing, and arithmetic down, you are fairly functional in the world. I don't remember any of this algebra crap really.

But besides the long, grueling school days and countless hours of bullshit homework, what are some of your favorite memories in the 2000s?

I miss the cartoons back then. They were miles better than the shit these kids have today. Tech was decent back then and there was a good balance of playing outside and enjoying video games and computers just as much. Kids used to actually interact and socialize. Riding bikes and outdoor adventures all the way to making trails and playing in the creek in the backyard. You had cool, big electronics stores and the mall was still fun to go to. Windows XP anyone? Pinball 3D? I had a Palm Tungsten E2 and a Life drive, which I thought was kickass back then but is ancient tech now. Then you had the old, big cable remotes with the spongy buttons where I used to surf channels I shouldn't watch... hehe.
