The United States Men’s National Team fell to Uruguay in the final game of the group stage of the 2024 Copa America 1-0 and ultimately were eliminated from the tournament. Felger watched the game and has some thoughts on the product of the game.
Felger is OUT on soccer after USMNT vs Uruguay….
Felger: I want to like it. Maybe I just hate the US team, or the brand that’s played here in the Americas. What a disgrace of a product last night. And if you watched it you know what I’m talking about. The first half was basically everybody just rolling around on the ground constantly. Every time there was a challenge on the ball both guys went down and both spent about 5 minutes rolling around on the ground with the training staffs coming out and that dumb-ass magic spray. They do the old school stretcher where the guy gets stretchered off and he comes back. And it took so long. It took so much time. A ball in the air, guys came together, rolling around, holding their heads. A ball on the ground, they come together, they both roll around holding their heads. I’m like you didn’t get hit in the head. Why are you holding your head? Why are you holding your face? You didn’t get touched in the face. Every single time it took forever to play the first half because all these guys are doing is rolling around on the ground. I’m saying this too, in all seriousness, do you have any pride? Like, do you have any? Why is there no sort of culture of wanting to be tough?
