Behold This Legendary Rant About The USA’s Humiliating World Cup Elimination

One of the most cherished genres in sport media is the fabled Sport Rant. Usually spotted after some kind of catastrophic loss or earth-shaking national embarrassment, only the angriest and most humiliated sports broadcasters are able to unleash the full power of the Sport Rant.

It’s unsurprising that the elimination of the US football team from the 2018 World Cup provided fertile ground for an historic Sport Rant, and provide it did.

Taylor Twellman, a former national team member and current ESPN commentator, absolutely unleashed upon learning that the US team had fallen in a shocking 2-1 loss to Trinidad & Tobago.

It is an instant classic of the genre:

The absolute shame at having his beloved team fall to pieces in what should have been an absolutely breezy game thanks to a set of entirely preventable factors – which he was at least somewhat complicit in – is palpable:

The gloves should have been off years ago! We should have been having real criticism. And the discussion after Brazil, Max, was “Can we beat the Colombias and the Belgiums and the Argentinas of the world?” You kidding me? We can’t beat Trinidad on a field that’s too wet and too heavy? What are we doing? What are we doing?!

This is the good shit. This is the Sport Rant.
