I always root for the Netherlands, England and USA - in that order - in the world cup. Im down to just England. Guess I need to find a new team.
I haven't followed it. Who didn't Arena take? They looked absolute pants from what I saw.We're terrible and Bruce Arena elected not to take one of our best players. Then he started a god awful player over Cameron twice in a row in 2 crucial games.
Fabian Johnson, Danny Williams, Chandler, Lichaj, McKennie. Brooks is hurt. All of them should have been on this roster.I haven't followed it. Who didn't Arena take? They looked absolute pants from what I saw.
We deserve this. MLS runs USSF and it costs us having any hope of a half way decent team because the league is fucking terrible. They got Klinsmann fired because he realized that and wouldnt select many players who the league is obsessed with. Funnily enough the league does more to help CONMEBOL and other CONCACAF nations then it does for the US. It hurts the US. They dont develop American players. Our best players in the future are playing in Europe because they know they will not get any thing close to decent training in America. Klinsmann tried to change it and bring America to the 21st century and MLS was having none of it. Maybe now the USSF will split from MLS for good. Doubt it but one can hope.
They had a good project going and MLS and Garber's feelings got hurt because Klinsmann rightfully criticized them. So they created alot of unrest. They were able to because they run USSF and also essentially control the soccer media in this country.shoulda kept Klinsmann, I agree. they panicked.

TV revenue is already locked in.Not good for FIFA with no USA at the World Cup, less TV revenue and sponsorship
Thats the problem. Its a complete shit show. Thats why there needs to be a split.well they are more interested in US revenue for MLS owners than national team performance. what respectable coach is going to take the job of national coach to promote MLS revenues over performance?
