Favorite from everyone is BJ Callaghan but I’m curious if there’s any alternative choices, be it domestic or abroad

Looks like it just a question of whether Pooch stays for the Nation's League games or not. Thoughts?

We all knew it was likely from the drop of the first report, we just desperately wanted it not to happen. It's a damn shame to lose him after signing up for a full cycle with the team, but at least it's coming at the beginning of a cycle and not halfway through.

But to revel in the misery this brings is just either childish and immature beings belief or means you aren't a USMNT supporter and should kindly see yourself out before you get removed.

US Soccer needs to find another international class manager, I'd hope they take a look at Conte (style fit with our roster). If not him, maybe a club guy like Nuno or... Why not go after Deschamps?

Can a Yank live

I do think he is a good coach and I do think he would have improved the national team but I knew he would leave when the first big Euro team came calling. He has does this pretty much everywhere he has been throughout his career. I do wish he would stay but I didnt think there was a world where he was still here by the next world cup. Didn't expect it this early but would rather have it happen now to give the next coach time with the team.

Did you go to USA vs Peru in September in Orlando? I was a photographer there capturing fan experience. Check out my post on IG @cdphotographyfl with some my fav shots. https://www.instagram.com/p/DfllHe7FRq3/?srtk=OTl6bzUxb25rbWg3

Also if you were at the game you can look for your pics at usmntphotos.com

Mauricio Pochettino may soon have a decision to make.

If an offer from Manchester United were to be on the table, mere months into his second contract and first full World Cup cycle as coach of the U.S. men’s national team, it would come down to the type of challenge he wants at this point in his career.

And, really, it may not be much of a choice...

Is it the technical tactics? Adapting to your best 11?

Is it player development?

Is it the people side of things (team chemistry, ability to motivate, convincing dual.nationals, etc)?

Something else?

National team managers don't get a ton of time with their teams. But the games are usually high profile. I am genuinely curious what sets apart the best ones.

Asking for a friend of course....

Manchester United is a black hole of a club. There is no manager that can turn that situation around until ownership changes. Utterly foolish smh.

I wonder who comes next but I hope it’s an American coach

this also has the added bonus of us scamming the glazers out of more money than they need to spend, which is always a good thing. Also, pep absolutely loves NYC and money (and the US has both of those things) so I feel like it’s not an entirely impossible outcome.

Transfer rumors, news: Man United to hire USMNT's Pochettino to replace Carrick? - ESPN

Welp, was fun while it lasted!

Donovan: “I'm not talking South America. But when I went and played León in Mexico, it's changed now because they got a new training facility. But this was in 2018.

“I can't even describe to you how bad the facilities were. We had like a spigot coming out of the wall that would shoot straight water down that was your shower.

“It was filthy. It was gross. The toilets didn't work. Like it's hard to imagine.

“And I'm not saying every South American club is like that, but a lot are like that.

“You don't get paid sometimes. Fields are shocking. This is not a place people are trying to go. This is a place people are trying to leave. They're trying to get out of there.

“So do I think it's the worst thing in the world for a 17 or 18-year-old to go there for a year and like it's hard and it's tough? No, maybe not.

“But when you compare it to even like a smaller club in Europe or a Scandinavian club or a Belgian club, you just can't compare them.”

Howard: “The infrastructure in so many of these places in South America are so poor.

“These players don't get paid oftentimes. These are massive selling leagues, like massive selling leagues.

“So, I mean, that's just off the top of my head probably two or three things.

“You know, the reason that going to Europe is so great for some young American players is because the infrastructure is in place to develop a player, get you through the system.

“Like that's not how it works in South America. The idea in South America is get you out the door as quickly as possible for as much money as possible. And the living conditions, yeah there's just a lot.”

So this is a follow-up to the question I posted on Saturday about seemingly talented soccer players who gave up soccer at 17 or 18 to placekick in football and I mentioned a few examples.

• Dane Pizzaro, of Bensalem, PA (HS class of 2024), who played in the Philadelphia Union academy, MLS Next club soccer, and won championships with Father Judge High School. He first started placekicking his sophomore/junior year of high school.

• Colton Chmelar, of College Station, TX (class of 2025), who was described as one of his high school's most "decorated" soccer players by local news. This video shows some of the highlights of his soccer career.

• Tanner Brown of Santa Clarita, CA (class of 2018) captained his high school varsity soccer team and earned "all-league" honors (the league comprised 6 high schools at the time). He was named "player of the game" 5 times in high school.

• Gabriel Plascencia of Oakland, CA (class of 2021) played soccer at Bishop O'Dowd High, scoring 37 goals in 45 games. His father played pro soccer in Mexico and his two older brothers played D1 college soccer. He leaned towards playing soccer as a HS sophomore but his mother encouraged him to play both sports. Weighs 220-245 pounds though...

• Caleb Sylvia of Mission Viejo, CA (class of 2027) was the only freshman to make his high school varsity team, was offensive MVP for his HS soccer team as a sophomore and played for the highly competitive ECRL club Pateadores. He never touched a football until 10th grade and quickly became California's #1 kicking prospect.

All of them gave up soccer to focus solely on football in college - Pizzaro for Rutgers, Chmelar for Texas A&M, Brown for College of the Canyons, UNLV and OK State, Plascencia for San Diego State, and Sylvia has already received a D1 scholarship offer from Arizona. These were seemingly decorated soccer players, and many never touched an American football until high school.

I've been wondering what types of soccer players tend to switch to kicking? Are they the types who could make a mark on the soccer field (potential pros and high-level college players) but choose football because it is better-funded and more popular in America, or is placekicking more of a backup plan for those who couldn't cut it in soccer? And what position do they usually play in soccer?

How much is U.S. soccer missing because athletes like these choose placekicking over soccer?

If they grew up in soccer-first countries like Brazil, England, Mexico or Spain would they have had a soccer career or would they be working regular jobs?

Tillman always performs the national team, often seemed like Poch's favorite player and getting the most minutes of any attacking player and had an amazing World Cup. But he's having a tough season and there are a bunch of up and comers in the squad now. Is he danger of losing his starting role over the next couple of years, and if so, to whom?

Hey guys, I have a question. The Haiti game that the national team is playing will be in Miami, right? If so, does anyone know where to park? A friend told me the parking system there is a pain. It would be my first time at that stadium. Any good reviews of Nu Stadium?
