US have amazing young talent, something to look forward too. Soccer is indeed growing sport and expect US national team to improve big time.

4 years is a long time. And 4 years is the calendar US Soccer fans live on. In 4 years Dempsey, Jermaine Jones, Beasley, and Howard will be old men. Besler, Gonzalez, and Fabian will be 29 or 30.

 

New names will rise, high hopes for others will crumble. Six 2010 players made the 2014 roster. That's it. Stuart Holden was supposed to be a big star, imagine him playing in front of Jones and Bradley, but life is cruel.

"Only every four years..." Next year is the Gold Cup, and in 2016 it's the Copa America Centennial, the oldest international tournament in the world, which is conveniently being held in the States.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
