MNT's 2024

[LIuconn]

We deserve a full explanation why he was hired back. What did he show in stint 1 that gave the fed assurance things would be better?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Formal confirmation

 

[ZooCougar]

Don’t hire an American if he never coached in Europe.

 

[Palatine]

He was given every chance. It was time to let him go. Hope the US Soccer can do better this try.

I’m fearful for who the those in charge will choose. They seem to have a lot of bias in their idea of how to get the US to world class.

They need a home run. Especially with what Marsch did in the Copa. An international hire is a must.

There is one guy. This job will be for two years. Get us to do well in 2026, No one will inspire the team, the fan base, the advertisers, tv, etc more than Jurgen Klopp. The timing is perfect. For him and US soccer.

 

[meyers7]

Wonderful news. Now, now, we have to see if USSF (Matt Crocker) can get it right this time.

You don’t hire someone from Sweden if you want to win a Super Bowl.

If we are serious about Klopp, that is a massive step in the right direction.

What I also would love to see is having a contingent of our officials study what Spain does, figure out how to teach that to kids from a young age and have that style of play permeate our youth soccer. Solid spacing and fundamentals, ball possessions without ridiculous passes leading to losing possession, and too often in our case, a scoring opportunity for our opponent.

We, more than basically any other country, need to have our best professionals play six to eight hours away in a different hemisphere, obviously spread out among numerous leagues and clubs. The cohesion needed to compete as a national team will need to come from a basic philosophy that our players grew up in. It will take a generation for this to happen here, but until we start doing this, any dreams of doing better than perhaps one win in a knockout stage in a World Cup will remain dreams forever.

I don't think most knowledgeable soccer fans think the US is gonna win the WC in 2026. We're not winning in 2030, 2034, or 2038 either. If we could get a huge bump from 2024 (as a nation playing "football) we might start talking about a chance in the 2040's. Maybe.

Only 8 have ever won WC (Uruguay, Italy, Germany, Brazil, England, Argentina, France, Spain). France didn't win one til the 16th WC (68 years). Spain, even longer. And Netherlands, Portugal never have. We aren't even close to their level. In a WC Quarter or Semi against Belgium, Croatia, Turkey, a couple hot African countries (they vary), I'm not betting on the USA either.

For 2024, we just want a decent showing. We'll get a decent draw, so we need to get out of the group and try to make a decent showing in a quarter. That would be the best. That would mean winning 2 games after the Group stage.

We sent people overseas to study this stuff umpteen times. It’s a waste of time. There is no magical drill that we are not using. It’s culture that is missing.

Player wise, not much will charge until they change our culture from top to bottom.

Our system isn’t about creating good players, it’s about seperating vain parents from their money.

It’s a miracle that we’ve generated the players that we have tbh.

And until we have a highly competitive pro league with pro/rel and PRESSURE we probably won’t generate top coaches in the USA. They will have to go abroad like Marsch and Cherundolo (sort of) and get experience.

 

[ZooCougar]

Klopp is unlikely to happen.

This man is a good Plan B. He’ll come in an do a job for 2 years.

 

[Palatine]

If we hire an expensive coach from Europe like Klopp, do we have to increase the pay of the women's coach given the equal pay stuff?

Would that force us to hire a less expensive coach?

No.

Is there anybody this guy hasn't been in a shouting match with? How do players react to him? Certainly has bounced around a bit. Coached all over the globe.

Initiate contact. and maybe play with violence, as Coach Mora says

He’s an international manager. Short stints are the norm. Unless you are the USA and every manager is supposed to be a messiah and savior.

We just need a winner to come in and do a job for two years.

Don’t overthink this.

Also what shooting matches?

Are you even talking about the right person?

Don't know much about him. Just googled and a bunch of stuff came up. All coaches have their own style and some are more vocal than others. Just asking for context.

Latest news is that we are in a battle with Nigeria for his services.

And the back up plan is Cherundolo. Who is basically a Berhalter.

 

[ZooCougar]

Good god.

 

[ZooCougar]

Come on!

Another farcical hiring process.
