Seems like the USSF wasted six months of everyone’s time just to hire the same guy who already had the job. A big 17 you to Mr. and Mrs. Reyna though.
It’s quite possibly the most uninspiring hire imaginable. Wasted six months of everyone’s time is the perfect way to put it.Seems like the USSF wasted six months of everyone’s time just to hire the same guy who already had the job. A big 17 you to Mr. and Mrs. Reyna though.
More like wasted another 4 years of everyone’s time. Just when I think US Soccer federation can’t get any more disfunctional, they prove me wrong again.It’s quite possibly the most uninspiring hire imaginable. Wasted six months of everyone’s time is the perfect way to put it.
I look forward to bland, unimaginative soccer and an absolutely needless struggle to qualify for the 2024 World Cup.
One of the analysts on the Paramount Plus broadcast of last night’s game made an interesting point. He said due to the women’s team equal pay thing, the USSF can’t fork out millions and millions of dollars to hire a top level men’s coach without giving the women’s coach the same or similar money. I don’t know if that’s a contractual thing or if he just meant the optics would look bad, but if that is the case, it makes sense to stick with Berhalter since I’m sure he is a much cheaper option than some others out there.
We had the Donovan/Klinsmann controversy, the 1998 team has one player banging another's wife, but the Reynas brought the awful little league parents, southern cheerleader parents b.s. to the table and likely delayed the hiring. The players like Berhalter and he's got a good record. The play is often uninspiring, unlike last night under some interim dude I never heard of. At least we're already qualified. I've also heard about the equity issue. Not sure if that's true but it's certainly possible given today's emphasis on a type of equity that deemphasizes merit and achievement and traditional markers of excellence (World Cup ratings and cash for one).Seems like the USSF wasted six months of everyone’s time just to hire the same guy who already had the job.

That was Charlie Davies. His career was just starting to blossom when a horrific car wreck in 2009 changed his trajectory.One of the analysts on the Paramount Plus broadcast of last night’s game made an interesting point.

Even Brazil is going to have a hard time qualifying for the 2024 World Cup.It’s quite possibly the most uninspiring hire imaginable. Wasted six months of everyone’s time is the perfect way to put it.

Math is hard for me, you guys.Even Brazil is going to have a hard time qualifying for the 2024 World Cup.
Didn’t realize the US Space Force fielded teams?Seems like the USSF wasted six months of everyone’s time just to hire the same guy who already had the job. A big 17 you to Mr. and Mrs. Reyna though.
