MNT's 2024

[ZooCougar]

How about Rafa Benitez? He’s interested.

I am not intimately familiar with international soccer and the various approaches but I am starting to follow more closely. My thinking though is that I like what I saw from Spain. I don't think the slow, methodical ball control game is a winner for us. We may not be as brilliant but we can certainly be as athletic. Or maybe we can't keep up with the quick highly skilled finishers. I don't know.

Watching Martinez score for Argentina yesterday. It was a very straightforward play and granted he was fresh and the defense was very tired. But I think the USA has a better chance of scoring in transition. It seems here the Colombia defender was caught outside and Martinez had a straight line to the box. I just hope he isn't blamed for the goal by the Colombia fans...

Actually Colombia #15 Uribe was on Martinez and probably should have been in his shorts but let Martinez run, then the outside defender #2 Cuesta was outside had no chance to catch up to Martinez. How are they not double teaming Martinez.

How about Jose Mourinho. This vid came up on my fb feed. He's moved around but I guess he's with Turkey now.

Put it this way, I'd prefer GGG to Mourinho.

How about Rafa Benitez? He’s interested.

Ehh, I think he's a bit stale. But I would enjoy his haughty attitude. He doesn't suffer fools and he would be surrounded by them.

with the world cup just 2 years away and a mountain of work to do, how quickly with the hire be made?

"It's gotta be someone from the International cloth."

The Boneyard said this a week ago. Without the cloth part.

No.

MLS on the CV should be a disqualifier.

I would take Marsch.

Viera was in MLS because he was working for Manchester City and they sent him to their farm team NYCFC to get experience.

 

[KryHavok]

USMNT dropped 5 spots in the FIFA world rankings to #16, making them the biggest drop inside the top 20. At least they are one spot ahead of Mexico, and Canada is in 40th.

It’s MLS but but at least players don’t have to rot in NCAA soccer now.

I'm glad I can't really hear it.

 

[SubbaBub]

Viera is a realistic pick. Did a good job with underachieving Palace. I could see him doing well in a short cycle. Not sure how he would address the holes in the roster.

My first question for any prospect is where are the goals coming from and what system do you see the US playing based on current personnel.

Second question is what players do you intend to bring in that didn't feature in 23/24.

The only three locks I see right know (including health) are CP, Reyna, and Robinson. Everyone else has competition and/or performance issues.

 

[LIuconn]

Tyler Adams had surgery and is out for a few months. Can't rely on him to be healthy going forward.

That video, with the music and GGG talking about a slide with fancy graphics? So glad he's gone

It’s YNT but the US is playing France in the Olympics right now. Familiar names from the u23 pool but some of our best options weren’t release from their clubs for the tournament.

3 overage players also with the U23s. Miles Robinson, Zimmerman and Mihailovic.

 

[ZooCougar]

Walker Zimmerman is garbage.

 

[Waquoit]

Who does Zimmerman have the goods on?

 

[Palatine]

Zimmerman was NOT the problem. Even if the defense was perfect, the offense is awful, you can't win without scoring.

 

[LIuconn]

This should be zimmerman’s final time representing the USA. Miles Robinson is washed up. That Achilles injury snared him.
Djorgie almost had an amazing first half long distance blast
