Interesting. I think the MLS is a very good thing for the US to use for building depth. Some very good players have come from that league. Bobby Convey comes to mind. He was a great player in the MLS but after only one year in England he looks like twice the player he was. If over the next two years we can get more players in Europe, like Donovan, Adu, Johnson, Dempsey etc... then we can use the MLS for depth on the team while relying on the European players for the core. Bruce Arena is done. He did a lot for US soccer and we should be grateful, but his showing in this tourney was terrible. Its time the US gets a top flight coach.
What pisses me off most about this world cup showing isn't the losses. Its all the people who have done nothing but sit and wait to bash this team, finally getting to lash out. All of the fucking idiots on around the horn who know nothing about it trying to tell us all why soccer is never going to work in this country blah blah. 2010 should be a better showing.
