What MLS games did you watch this past weekend?
Matt Crocker has the knowledge to perform well as the sporting director for US Soccer. Oguchialu Onyewu should also be hired as the General Manager. However, the MOST important decision for the USMNT to be successful at the 2026 FIFA World Cup is to NOT hire Jesse Marsch (or anyone connected to the Redbull system of football.) US soccer needs to hire someone with EXTENSIVE experience UEFA Champions League, not just the domestic league. They need to have THRIVED in that tournament. Performing well as HOST of the tournament is important to the future of the game in the nation. The problem is that I highly DOUBT that they will take this GLOBAL tournament SERIOUSLY, and probably will not invest in that CALIBER of coach. They probably do not have the financial ability to do so as well.
so pepi in the wc?
Great a failed, relegation tier Leeds coach. Might as well not even show up for the World Cup. This isn't some quirky Ted Lasso show.
