Why do you say that? So he can bring on some foreign players and make them U.S. citizens before their first match. I think Bruce will show the world that american born players can compete with international teams. It might take 6 months, but he will do it.
As good as some of the players are here in the US, (as far as being physically fit is concern), they need the experience of a coach such as Bora to really make a turn around.
That is to say, to convert a physically fit group of players into a world class and winning team, given current conditions, it will certainly take months...
The best example I can give you is last year's performance in France by the US team...
A promising young team, indeed with some experienced players... yet with an absolute moron as head coach....
I am convinced the US could have done a lot better than what they did.
Bora is like a magician, he did incredible things with the Mexican, Costa Rican, the US, and the Nigerian national teams.
For additional commentary in reference to the world cup and the head Moron of the US team, take a look here...

George at one point wanted to revive the thread... we need a tournament to make it fun as we did last year....
I will confess that I have stopped following soccer, (other than the World Cup every four years), however, George is a very keen follower to this day. |
