It’s been a pleasant surprise. We reserve the right to be critical and cynical when that’s deserved, but we have to give Matt Crocker and JT Batson credit for overseeing two outstanding national team hires. Well done by them. Even if Poch doesn’t work out, I think they made the best hire realistically possible.

@@jimg6178 Of course. The pressure is squarely on the players now. I’m optimistic Poch can get the most out of this player pool, but the stagnation and regression of multiple players since Qatar is concerning. They need to get healthy and get their act together quickly. If they fail even under Pochettino, then they will prove to be fool’s gold and not the generation of players we expected 4 years ago. We couldn’t realistically have hired a better coach, so if they fail, that’s on them.

We also need to understand that this whole venture is more than just results on the pitch. The development of youth programs, fostering an environment that grows true organic interest and love for the game, and instilling soccer philosophies into youth and next generation players - all of this is important from a big picture perspective of US soccer. It means even more if this knowledge, experience, and analysis is applied all over the US program - from top-down-sideways and back to the top. This also includes injecting other US coaches, trainers, and talent scouts into Pochettino's administration. In this way our future coaches also learn and develop. Like I said, it's more than just wins and losses. It's about cementing and securing a future that will grow and develop into a next level.

CONMEBOL is dying. Not just Brazil. Look at the last World Cup. Uruguay and Ecuador struggled against teams they should have beat. In 2026, the only teams I see making it out the group stage in 2026 is Argentina and Colombia. The rest are getting grouped.

@cuzzozanteeno2127 I disagree that CONMEBOL is dying. In the 2010 WC all 5 CONMEBOL teams made it to the knockout rounds. In the 2014 WC it was 5 out of 6 that made it to the knockout rounds. In the 2018 WC it was 4 out of 5. 2022 was the outlier with only 2 out of 4 making the knockout rounds, but a closer look is needed here. 🇪🇨 was in a group with 🇳🇱 and 🇸🇳 the latter of whom were the reigning AFCON champions. 🇺🇾 was in a group with 🇵🇹, 🇰🇷 and 🇬🇭. 🇰🇷 was arguably the second or third best team in Asia and 🇬🇭 were not exactly weak opponents. 🇵🇪 lost to 🇦🇺 in WCQ on Penalty Kicks. That same 🇦🇺 team made it to the WC knockout rounds, finishing ahead of a very good 🇩🇰 side. TL, DR: CONMEBOL is still very good! It's not dying.

The FAN Cheer on the Team to Win, that's why the follow the USMNT through the Media, and why the fill up the stands in the Stadium on game day. The USSF puts things together, by hiring the Coach and staff and creating an infrastructure for the USMNT The Coach and his staff do their Job by selecting the players training them during Camps and designing the appropriate game plan for the appropriate opponent The Players have to perform on game day to achieve the result needed. When everybody does their job, this USMNT will be as successful as the USMNT and all other US Athletes, there not a shadow of doubt about that in my mind. I may take couple of tries but we should not think it may take more than 1 year, or short change the Players by convincing them that they're not good enough so they should be happy with first round... You're basically giving the players the ideas about who they are. If you're still in 2024 talking to the USMNT players as though it's 1994, then you're telling them it's OK not to try and beat the 2002 record. You have to talk to them about the Quarterfinal, that's where every conversation should start until the night before that QF, and then you remind the players and the coach that they have a chance to beat the 2002 record so they can become the ONLY USMNT generation to reach that level. That's what it is. THAT SIMPLE!!!

Note on women`s side: title IX acts as a guarantee that amateurs via college have a flush of cash for grants eliminating pay-to-play and creating a healthy feed of players into the women's pro league and USWNT. By design, the equivalent money going into Men's soccer has only become more starved as football takes the funds (cheaper to cut men's soccer rather than to increase overall revenue because you'd have to match women). So while Title IX has made women's soccer thrive, it's destroying men's soccer. How do we ensure youth gets a model that isn't pay-to-play so our talent is seen?

Blank, Griffin, Duke, and other member’s of the inheritance class. So this guy works for Arthur Blank. This sounded like an Atlanta Falcons coaching change and trying to pacify a pissed of fan base. Having the tentacles of US billionaires into the national federation is not a positive development. So not willing to ask why Billionaire Ken Griffin is writing Poch’s paycheck? Is it a tax write off for Illinois wealthiest Oligarch. Blank is here to monetize - and The Doris Duke foundation’s JT Batson as CEO is their monetizing man.
