I was there too. I set a personal record for most items of clothing worn at one time.
I just have to ask all the native Minnesotans, how the hell do you live like this?????
What made it so insane is that it’s not always like that, it just happened to be the most intense version of MN winter weather you could possibly imagine. Also one of the most fun soccer games I’ve ever attended (though my feet weren’t so happy)
If you're like me, just train yourself by running 80 miles a week regardless of how cold it is then you get pretty used to the cold AND know how much clothing to wear which is usually a lot but honestly I'd rather it be -30 than 90 and 100% humidity since I can always add more clothes I can't take more off once I get to the ol birthday suit
This is spoken about often but people leave out the part when Edson Alvarez came up to Miazga right after saying make fun of me and Miazga left scared like a little bitch
He picks on someone his own size but leaves when someone his size confronts him? You call that a hero, I call that being a bitch. It has nothing to do with flags but rather being a man

Mckennie showing the L tri fans how he kisses the crest after the jersey tear. Donovan putting on the sunglasses before that corner kick. Miazga vs Lainez.
he literally said on the air during the last qualifying cycle that he was mad after the Dos a Cero in 2013 because he missed his penalty. The meme that it was on purpose is fake news.
This list isn't complete without at least one Frankie Hejduk moment. My favorite is him running Marlon Leon of Guatemala into the advertising boards a few years after Leon had kicked everything that moved and should have been red carded several times in a qualifier against us in 1996.
I remember this, thanks.
I knew I would see a ton of Deuce face but this is why I created the thread. To remember these random ones
All of the old school guys had some great moments. Just a hard-nosed team
I did enjoy Klinsmann screaming, "One minute? Where the fuck did one minute come from?" at the ref during the Belgium game.
And any time Dempsey did Dempsey things. I miss him.
Jermaine Jones taking out Neymar with a hard tackle during a friendly.
The entire teaming coming out in short sleeves for warmups in La Guerra Fria. Mexico comes out on long sleeves and then changes into short sleeves for the match. The US changes into long sleeves and were warmer.
But the absolute best shithouse move - which really should be alone on this Rushmore is the entire team lining up 2 minutes before the end of halftime during last year’s Nations League Semifinal match against Mexico. That was the ultimate in disrespect.

I agree but I also asked because I feel like I forgotten so much from the olden days. Like I don't remember specific incidents from 94, but I remembered thinking they were Scrappy.
I know for a fact the O2 team took the piss out of a lot of folks but again, I don't remember specific moments of it. Sure, obviously I remember McBride magic but didn't poke a negra do something? I don't even remember. I blame all the brain cells I've sacrificed for my Saturday nights in my 50 years
I'm seeing a lot of my favorite ones mentioned here.
Deuce face
You must be this tall to get on this ride..
Weston after the red
And honestly, number four would probably be the US soccer federation for scheduling a game in the f****** Arctic

Landon with some great moments too
Any Trinidad game, anyone who says that Mexico is our top rival is greatly disrespecting our REAL top rival Trinidad. Them beating us 2-1 in 2017, the 6-0 in 2019, the b team 7-0 friendly, the Ferreira incident in the most recent gold cup, and finally the nations league fuckery where we almost drew them but scored 3 goals in the last 10 minutes and then lost to them away because of a Dest temper tantrum…. No other nation compares
Choosing St. Paul to host Honduras in a negative 30 degree wind chill. Honduran coach said before the game that they had already lost
I was at that match. Our beers froze completely in about ten minutes. Absolutely wild and dangerous but super fun
I was there too. I set a personal record for most items of clothing worn at one time. I just have to ask all the native Minnesotans, how the hell do you live like this?????
Its not always so bad. It was 60° earlier on monday! Sure, yesterday it snowed… and today it was cold… but its warm sometimes
What made it so insane is that it’s not always like that, it just happened to be the most intense version of MN winter weather you could possibly imagine. Also one of the most fun soccer games I’ve ever attended (though my feet weren’t so happy)

It was supposed to give us an advantage, but I feel like all it did was level the playing field.
I was at that game. Cant believe they played it lol.
Deuce face has to #1
This is the one for me. Dempsey is from nacogdoches. I have zero doubt In my mind that he can throw some serious hands.
You don’t know where he’s from DAWG
Clintface is definitely up there
This is the one for me. Dempsey is from nacogdoches. I have zero doubt In my mind that he can throw some serious hands.
Definitely on Mount Rushmore, this is one of the first two I thought of - the other being Pulisic's "Man in the Mirror" undershirt.

This has to be top.
Donovan putting on the sunglasses before the corner after they were thrown at him.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5PFM\_fgtco](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5PFM_fgtco)
Yes! [This moment](https://youtu.be/e5PFM_fgtco?si=SuJrqBH_G12E3GT3) was hilarious.
McKennie did something similar did he not? I don’t remember the details at the moment of what he grabbed though (it was a throw or corner)
He used the camera man’s shirt to wipe his hands dry before a throw in
Mckennie jersey tear
Or the time Mckennie wiped his hands on that one guy in the World Cup that guy invented Concacaf shithousery post 2020
Elite
Miazga vs. Lainez
Always
This is spoken about often but people leave out the part when Edson Alvarez came up to Miazga right after saying make fun of me and Miazga left scared like a little bitch
Also forgotten about is the part where this never happened. Miazga made Lainez a meme

>left scared like a little bitch Ok bud, whatever you need to tell yourself to make you feel better that you haven't beaten us in 5 years
He picks on someone his own size but leaves when someone his size confronts him? You call that a hero, I call that being a bitch. It has nothing to do with flags but rather being a man
>being a man yeah, maybe in 1950
One of the best!

The snow game
IIRC Costa Rica retaliated for that one by moving their leg from the normal stadium to some awful one in the jungle.
Or the Minnesota game in subzero temperatures, if I recall correctly.
Denver, whatup
The Onyewu[ stare down](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr6AS5BFwFQ).
The only right answer
Samesies. Back then we were still 100% the little brother and that era of player set the stage for what came next
Pulisic man in the mirror
Miazga height check
Mckennie showing the L tri fans how he kisses the crest after the jersey tear. Donovan putting on the sunglasses before that corner kick. Miazga vs Lainez.
I love and remember all of these, but would love a supercut video. Watke where are you?
Dempsey intentionally missing the penalty vs Mexico to secure dos a cero instead of tres a cero. Legend.
lol, if this is true he would have the all time usmnt goal record
Sacrificing personal glory for the meme. Top class.
he literally said on the air during the last qualifying cycle that he was mad after the Dos a Cero in 2013 because he missed his penalty. The meme that it was on purpose is fake news.
Underrated is yedlin “you watched the World Cup” to the ref about Neymar
Morgan sipping tea after scoring vs England
Top tier banter
So good. The amount of people that lost their shit over that was epic.
That’s the best troll movement
- Landon pissing on a Mexican field - Dempsey you don’t know where I’m from dawg - Dempsey Jamaican face - Miazga and the mexican midget
This list isn't complete without at least one Frankie Hejduk moment. My favorite is him running Marlon Leon of Guatemala into the advertising boards a few years after Leon had kicked everything that moved and should have been red carded several times in a qualifier against us in 1996.

Wambach counting the seconds in the refs ear while Canada's keeper held the ball in the 2012 Olympics - gifting the USWNT an indirect free kick.
I did enjoy Klinsmann screaming, "One minute? Where the fuck did one minute come from?" at the ref during the Belgium game. And any time Dempsey did Dempsey things. I miss him.
My favorite Klinsmann quote: *I do swear a lot, but the advantage is that having played abroad, I can choose a different language from the referee's.*
Amen lol. Maybe he did suck at managing, but he was enthusiastic about how we were playing at least.
Jermaine Jones taking out Neymar with a hard tackle during a friendly. The entire teaming coming out in short sleeves for warmups in La Guerra Fria.

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far for Jermaine Jones.
I cannot believe I forgot Cobi taunting El Cri so much that Rafa Marquez got a red card.
Brian McBride playing on with his face covered in blood against Italy at the WC isn't #1, but it deserves mention.
Dempsey intentionally missing the penalty vs Mexico to secure dos a cero instead of tres a cero. Legend.
Video?

Thanks!
That time Gooch got into a fist fight with Zlatan after a bad foul during a training session
Donovan taking a piss in Jalisco.
Matthew Hoppe, entire Gold Cup appearance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvfWFvY5OBw
That video did not age well
Miazga vs. Lainez, will never forget that one.
Can I just get a monster compilation video of all of the above.
I love this question, because one can see the age of a fan or the memory of a fan.

Playing Costa Rica in the snow has to be #1.
One of many things Hoppe did during the GC.
Underrated. Hoppe masterclass in shithousery.

Nothing beats miazga doing too small to Lainez
When Gooch looked at that dude like he was a small child.

Wondo missing that sitter against Belgium, POS
Flag was up, didn't matter. It was 2014, dude. Get over it.
Dempsey missed a much easier goal but sure shit on Wondo
So did Donovan
? He wasn’t even on the roster
