Yeah, always enjoy seeing the look on people's faces when that gets pointed out, Tampa. Well played. Soccer comes from the English middle class way more than the US.

Never mind that the USA has more people playing football than us by a multiple of five to one. Never mind that more people watch soccer live than watch 'American Football' live in that country. Never mind that their professionalism at youth level is better organised and reaping quicker rewards than England's. Never mind that in the last four World Cups England have bettered the USA's performance a grand total of once... we still talk about them as if they're some clueless, backward dribbling incompetents with worthless ambitions of grandeur.

English blinkers. Best blinkers in the world.

Yeah but @yankspurs

Worse than yedlin's talent (or lack thereof), about which there has been at least some pseudo-ITK, why are we discussing the merits of the USA coaching system. I'm pretty sure ther has been no ITK on this.

Apart from the ITK on Yedlins technical ability.... But thank you for modding. A&C doesn't know what he is doing so he needs all the help he can get.

Seen loads of posts regarding Yedlin being tried at RM for instance. Only reason that is even being suggested is because he is quick. I understand people want him to do well because he is young, and especially our friends from across the pond because it gives them more of a connection to the club, but the fact is we now have Trippier, Walker, and the highly impressive KWP(3 years Yedlins junior) who Yedlin is going to have to out perform in order to play. As things stand now the odds are without question firmly stacked against him I'm afraid.

Klinsmann played him twice on the wing in two friendlies against Holland and Ze Germans. Go ask one Daley Blind if Yedlin can play football at PL level. That is, once Blind find the ass that Yedlin tore off him. Yedlin transformed those games with pace, good movement and defended when needed, covering and assisting the starting right back when needed.

If the Club loan Yedlin out i think it will be a mistake, as Walker i think is fast becoming another Ledley King (God bless), but the unfounded, unproven bullshit about what players are saying about him from what i can ascertain is total fabrication.

Pace is only one thing you need to be a good winger, he has not shown any particular ability when it comes to crossing, passing or finishing though.



You have absolutely, one hundred percent no idea what you are talking about, have never seen Yedlin play for any length of time and couldn't even have bothered your arse to look at a five minute YouTube video of him.

If you had you would have got your sister to post what you said.
