  6. Note on women`s side: title IX acts as a guarantee that amateurs via college have a flush of cash for grants eliminating pay-to-play and creating a healthy feed of players into the women's pro league and USWNT.

    By design, the equivalent money going into Men's soccer has only become more starved as football takes the funds (cheaper to cut men's soccer rather than to increase overall revenue because you'd have to match women).

    So while Title IX has made women's soccer thrive, it's destroying men's soccer.

    How do we ensure youth gets a model that isn't pay-to-play so our talent is seen?

  7. Typical ESPN jokes on predicting the World Cup favorites:
    Brazil got disappointed in Copa America and World Cup qualifiers.
    France only scored 1 open goal in Euro and couldn't beat Italy in the Nations League.
    Why those 2 teams were ranked joint odds to win the World Cup when we see them falling apart??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  13. We also need to understand that this whole venture is more than just results on the pitch. The development of youth programs, fostering an environment that grows true organic interest and love for the game, and instilling soccer philosophies into youth and next generation players – all of this is important from a big picture perspective of US soccer. It means even more if this knowledge, experience, and analysis is applied all over the US program – from top-down-sideways and back to the top. This also includes injecting other US coaches, trainers, and talent scouts into Pochettino's administration. In this way our future coaches also learn and develop. Like I said, it's more than just wins and losses. It's about cementing and securing a future that will grow and develop into a next level.

  16. A nation of 350 million, if you have a great 2026 you will make that many people happy.
    We see this with the USMNT when they win the World Cup in the US.

    That's how it's going to be if we have a great showing in 2026.
    Of course we cut them a break, but only after they advance past R/16.
    You set a minimum goal and you welcome the maximum up to and including winning the World Cup.

    For the USMNT or any other team who never won the World Cup, you basically have to push them there, but also let the Players and Coaches decide they want to win. You only push them and wait to see how they react and you continue cheering them on.

    If they don't win, it's not the end of the world, but the way they exited Copa America is a FAILURE. Even if you have a lower level of quality you can advance to the following round.
    We had a team with Gregg that suffered from low ambition and/or complacency.
    That was terrible.

    This point has been dealt with by Pochettino already in his presser, we need to see it in action next two friendlies.
    So if we have a good showing this October then we can rest assured that the problem was not with the Players, it was with Gregg.

    The Role of the Coach is to Lead the Players to become a stronger team.
    It is not the role of the player to be the coach.

  17. The FAN Cheer on the Team to Win, that's why the follow the USMNT through the Media, and why the fill up the stands in the Stadium on game day.

    The USSF puts things together, by hiring the Coach and staff and creating an infrastructure for the USMNT

    The Coach and his staff do their Job by selecting the players training them during Camps and designing the appropriate game plan for the appropriate opponent

    The Players have to perform on game day to achieve the result needed.

    When everybody does their job, this USMNT will be as successful as the USMNT and all other US Athletes, there not a shadow of doubt about that in my mind.

    I may take couple of tries but we should not think it may take more than 1 year, or short change the Players by convincing them that they're not good enough so they should be happy with first round…

    You're basically giving the players the ideas about who they are.
    If you're still in 2024 talking to the USMNT players as though it's 1994, then you're telling them it's OK not to try and beat the 2002 record.

    You have to talk to them about the Quarterfinal, that's where every conversation should start until the night before that QF, and then you remind the players and the coach that they have a chance to beat the 2002 record so they can become the ONLY USMNT generation to reach that level.

    That's what it is.
    THAT SIMPLE!!!

  18. Did anyone pick up on ‘the business’? This group will only grow the game in the US to make money.

    US Soccer is so screwed – the US Billionaires have taken complete control. Blank, Griffin, Duke, and other member’s of the inheritance class.

    So this guy works for Arthur Blank. This sounded like an Atlanta Falcons coaching change and trying to pacify a pissed of fan base.

    Having the tentacles of US billionaires into the national federation is not a positive development.

    So not willing to ask why Billionaire Ken Griffin is writing Poch’s paycheck? Is it a tax write off for Illinois wealthiest Oligarch.

    Blank is here to monetize – and The Doris Duke foundation’s JT Batson as CEO is their monetizing man.

  23. Well you may do better when you start calling this game football! You got yourself a good manager though, although he won't be able to help you with your own defects. eg what country league playing while having major tournament in own country lol is MLS going to be playing while the World Cup is going, typical American dummies
