Again im not disputing the results of WC rather the way such results were achieved. Really, it felt like we got lucky more so than earned our draws and win when we could have had a better style or approach which would have reflected progress.. sport is a "what have you done for me lately" business so hedging on futures is not efficacious as it could be. I totally understand that Klinsmann has a plan, especially for WC 2018 but that is at least a year away and in the meantime US has a Gold Cup and good chance at Confederation Cup that are more pressing issues than experimenting for WC

It almost seriously feels like Jurgen is trying to scare off all of American veteran talent to start fresh with a roster entirely of his own creation. THAT seems to take development too far, why waste current talent gambling on future potential?

I think USMNT best bet is to continue to improve to attract the best American talent,young or veteran, and build a positive culture and reputation. Snubbing Landon and underperforming because of experimental rosters and strategies seems counterproductive to this goal..

usmnt is like a middle of the pack league team, talent comes at a higher premium and conventional approaches don't always work, flexibility is the key
