YIKES! The U.S. may miss next year's World Cup!

Feels like USMNT has been rolling backward down a mountain since the day they left Brazil ....
This predates Arena's resignation. Plus, the Power-That-Hires, our Federation President Sunil Gulati, has already stated that there will not be a full time replacement just yet. An interim coach will be chosen for the next International Friendlies, but a full time replacement will probably be chosen after the next World Cup.Atlanta United FC's coach Gerardo Martino seems to be the favourite to replace Bruce Arena as USMNT coach.n

Mr Gulati's term as President ends in February. He is running for re-election - it will be his last term if re-elected - and is expected to win this election. For all that we could still have a new President in March and no one knows what that person might do. Please stand by for at least a year of drama concerning this team.

There is no way to remove him except term limit or his resignation. He believes that the loss to TnT and being eliminated from the 2018 WC is not a disaster but just a bump in the road. He is convinced that U S Soccer is absolutely on the proper path it needs to prosper. Consequently, he will not resign. Also, his term limit allows him one more 4 year term if re-elected.I don't understand how Gulati still has a job.

I thought DH was having a medical crisis, but he's only watching his beloved Azzurri vs. Sweden WC qualifier.

They will play the Seattle Sounders again. Based on the 2 semi-final games I watched it looks like Seattle will repeat as champions because they can score. TFC struggled to get a 1-0 aggregate win in their series. Seattle had a 5-0 aggregate win. We'll see what happens next Saturday in Toronto.Toronto FC made the MLS final again this year!!!

NJL (the semi-final games were the only MLS games I've watched all season. I am have been in a major depression since the Ft Lauderdale Strikers died last fall and have watched very few games since. I am just starting to get back into the sport now......)
I have no problems with this. TFC was the dominant team from the start and coulda won by 5 if the Sounders keeper had an off day (he didn't...he kept them in the game). Plus, Jozy Altidore, from Boca Raton, FL, scored the game winner and USMNT captain, Michael Bradley, played the game of his life to insure no goals for Seattle. Congrats to TFC for the best single season for any team since MLS was founded.NEH NEH BOO BOO!!! We did it!!!
