Good article on issues facing USMNT https://www.google.com/amp/s/sports....204950746.html
Fans are right to wonder why the roster looks so “thin”. After 10+ years of DA, the MLS getting stronger, Americans going overseas to learn/play soccer, and all the money & time USSF has spent with NT camps and scouting why can’t we find strong players for every position?! Contrast the men’s team with the women’s. With the women, there is continuity and leadership. You can draw a line from one generation of coaches and players to the next and they stick around so that veterans can help new players adjust to a style of play. With the men, we rotate coaches and players in and out so often there is no continuity. The playbook gets tossed out after every failure and we look for something new. No wonder we can’t improve...
