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.
