[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 923020, member: 4572"] Who’s celebrating moral victories? We’re the 16th ranked FIFA team and we made it to the round of 16. Played 90 full minutes against one of the best teams in the world in England. 3rd youngest team in the tournament. We finished and did about what everyone expected us to do. Yeah it sucks to lose, but that’s like saying Tech’s expectations for next year should be a national championship, and celebrating any result other than that is celebrating a moral victory. This year’s USMNT was a building block for the future of soccer in the U.S. We needed to prove we belonged on the world stage, with the best teams in the world, and we did that. It was a stepping stone to have us in position to actually compete for the trophy on our own turf in 2026. By 2026 Pulisic will be 28 and a Premier League vet. Weston McKennie will be 28 with multiple years of top tier competitor. Tyler Adams will be 27. Sergino Dest will be 25. Giovanni Reyna will be 24 and in much better shape to contribute. Brendan Aaronson will be 26. Timothy Weah will be 26. Antonee Robinson will be 29. Josh Sargent will be 26. Walker Zimmerman will be 33, and for reference Tim Ream is 35 and played excellent all throughout the Cup. Just about everyone who contributed in this Cup will literally be in the primes of their career. We legitimately have one of the best midfields in the world right now, and it’s only going to get better. All we need to be an absolute contender are solid strikers, guys who can finish at the net. I don’t see this being a more victory at all. It gave everyone a chance to see that we deserve to be out there, and hopefully will provide a spark that gets us into that elite conversation in the next Word Cup cycle, especially on our home turf.
