USA Men's Soccer to take long vacation - Time for Immigration reform or to annex Mexico

.

Double dose of defeat Saturday destroys hope for any international competition for USA men!

In a nutshell - we suck!!!


USA Men's Under 23

The U.S. men’s under-23 soccer team lost to Honduras 2-0 with a Rio Olympic berth at stake in Sandy, Utah, on Saturday afternoon.


To qualify for Rio, the U.S. must now beat Canada on Tuesday and then beat Colombia in March in Rio de Janeiro.


The U.S. failed to qualify for the 2004 and 2012 Olympic tournaments and has not won a men’s soccer medal since 1904, when the Olympic tournament included three teams.


The U.S. looked strong in the CONCACAF going into the Honduras match.


It went 3-0 in group play, outscoring opponents 13-2, despite all three 2014 World Cup players who met the U-23 age requirement being omitted from the roster — John Brooks, Julian Green and DeAndre Yedlin. Brooks and Yedlin were saved for a senior national team match against Mexico on Saturday with a  2017 Confederations Cup berth at stake, though Brooks is now out due to injury.


Honduras, which qualified for its third straight Olympics, went 2-1 in its group, the loss to
Mexico.


USA Men's National Team


Mexico defeats USA 3-2 in CONCACAF soccer playoff game


The US Men's National Team fell to Mexico Saturday night on a late goal in excruciating fashion on their home soil on Saturday night.


The U.S. equalized in the 108th minute to put the teams tied at 2-2, but a goal by Paul Aguilar in the 118th minute made it 3-2 Mexico in a CONCACAF playoff game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.


The time is now for Immigration Reform

Continued embarrassment of men's soccer in the USA should convince the dysfunctional politicians running Washington into the ground to shut up and do something for the good of the nation.


The conservatives should bite their gums or guns, the liberals should bite their condoms, and both should shut up with their incessant finger-pointing and pathetic polarizing pathos.


Our men's soccer team sucks and it is an international sign of the collapse of the American standard of greatness.  We do not need Einstein to tell us the teams from Central and South America are kicking our butts, we need action.


Congress and the Obama Administration must immediately pass Immigration reform and it must include instant citizenship for all foreigners in the country illegally.  Forget about pathways to citizenship and all the other crap.


Maybe we can find enough good soccer players in the eleven million illegal immigrants to mount a men's soccer team and if not, at least we will have a new generation of kids to build a long- range program.


If the oracles in our nation's capitol cannot do this, then we must find a way to annex the rest of Mexico and declare them all US citizens since we did a pretty good job of taking about half of Mexico so far.



One way or the other, we cannot tolerate losers such as the Men's soccer team, it does not fit the American ideal or standard.


Wake up Washington, give us the team we deserve, declare all illegal residents legal citizens for the interest of our national pride, and for the ratings for our television networks.
