With the end of the World Cup cycle for the US, the prospect of a managerial change looms large. A
lot of people seem to be asking the questions "who is the best tactical manager for the US talent
pool" or "who is the manager who will play the style I want the US to play".
For me, it's all about timing.
Been focused on that recently. Sorry for the lack of posts. I'm trying to figure out a definitive
list of USMNT lineups, which is hard when the Hall of Fame and RSSSF don't agree in several
instances. Also, I was kind of burnt out from spending so much time on the plus/minus research.
Besides that, my goal was to make a list of which cap came in which game.

Another World Cup cycle has come and gone for the U.S. men's national team and it is time to
consider the possibility that a new coach will be leading the team once the next World Cup cycle
begins.
Bob Bradley helped guide the team through a period of transition after the retirements of
Claudio Reyna, Brian McBride and Eddie Pope.

US Soccer will name for USA great Claudio Reyna as their Youth Technical Director tomorrow. I don't
really know what that means, but they have a conference call scheduled to tell us all about it.
Claudio Reyna is considered by many as the most gifted soccer player that the United States has
ever produced.
He was named to the 'Best XI' of the 2002 World Cup, as he led the United States to the
quarterfinals; He earned 108 caps for the national team, and his career included stops in both the
English and Scottish Premier Leagues, as well as in the German Bundesliga.
In one day the Houston Dynamo cut loose a Designated Player that bombed and probably more
importantly saw one of the league's best assistant coaches step down for personal reasons. Yes
Dynamo fans I believe you are entering a slight rebuilding phase now.
Luis Angel Landin, signed last August as Houston's first DP, was released Tuesday by the
Dynamo.

First of all apologies for being away for a while. I took a break during the world cup to
specifically enjoy it and getting back into the regular routine is a tough thing to do!
With the new Collective Bargaining Agreement agreed upon and put in place, several things got
tweaked, including the Designated Player rule and this was a good thing because when the rule was
first announced and was code named the ‘Beckham Rule' because lets face it, it was designed
around signing him, the whole buzz around the rule was lost this time a year ago.
When Bob Bradley first took over as U.S. national team coach, one of the trickier tasks facing him
was reconstructing the team's midfield. The international retirements of Claudio Reyna and John
O'Brien meant the Americans suffered a significant drop in experience, and the team's ability to
manage tempo and keep the ball took a hit as well.
Leave it to the American soccer twittersphere to highlight our country's predisposition to being
reactionary, not to mention exposing our inferiority complex. Rory Smith from the Telegraph wrote a
sly article, essentially saying that Landon Donovan and David Beckham are starting to force many to
reevaluate their long held anti-MLS stereotypes.
Our series on the US at the World Cup continues with the second part of our look at the 1998
World Cup. You can read more about US World Cup appearances in 1930 (part 1), 1930 (part
2), 1934, 1950, the 1950-1990 drought, 1990, 1994, 1998 (part 1) and 1998 (part 2)
Putting 1998 in the past
The US had been humiliated at the 1998 World Cup, its poor performance on the field—one goal
scored in three losses— mirrored by acrimony and dissent off the field.
One of my favorite events of the year is rolling back into town! The Showdown in
Chinatown brings the Worlds most recognized athelete's from all sports to the playgrounds
of downtown Manhattan for a memorable 8v8 showdown in the name of charity.
Local legend and former Red Bull Claudio Reyna teams up once again with
basketball star Steve Nash to bring the third installment of this epic event to
life.

The idea of developing youth soccer players is a challenging concept, and philosophically varies
from culture to culture.
Claudio Reyna is as unique a player that our country has every developed, which makes him a good
reference point to draw from as our new Youth Technical Director.
Claudio Reyna has recently been hired as the U.S. Soccer youth technical director, and has outlined
a national curriculum for developing players through all levels of American soccer.
"We can't lose sight of the development of our players," he said. "Everyone is looking at
(their own development system) all around the world.
This Saturday marks the last tune up match the United States have before they take the field
June 12 against England in their World Cup opener. After four years of building his squad,
Bradley still has some questions that still need to be cleared up before the South African campaign
begins.

Claudio Reyna's role as youth technical director for US Soccer, and with it the concept of
structure and directed teaching as a means of producing talented players, is getting the once over
by people...
Black Stars coach Milovan Rajevac announced his provisional World Cup

When the US went to the first World Cup in 1930, 16 players were on the roster, unlike the 23
that are on the roster for 2010. In 1930, there were only five extra players available largely
because substitutions were not allowed: you started with 11 players and if one of them was injured
during the course of a match and couldn't continue, you played on without him.
As the United States Men's National Team sets off to make history tomorrow, the New York area
will have extra reason to celebrate. Tomorrow, Steve Nash and Claudio Reyna
present "The Showdown in Chinatown," and I've got the scoop at some of the participants one of them
being from your hometown New York Red Bulls!
If there's anything American soccer needed badly, it's an American superstar. He has arrived and
his name is, of course, Landon Donovan.
Mike Woitalla of Soccer America writes of how America finally received its soccer superstar.
In stoppage time of the USA's must-win clash with Algeria, Donovan sparked an attack at the
halfway line, passed off to Jozy Altidore, and followed up to bury a rebound to send the USA to the
second round of the World Cup.

For the third June running, bohemian sports hero Steve Nash (Canadian, Tottenham
supporting basketball star for the Phoenix Suns) hosted the Showdown in Chinatown at the Sara D.
Roosevelt Park on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
Now that the 2010 World Cup is over for the U.S. national team, the question is being asked
whether Bob Bradley should continue as the coach of the U.S. team.
To show how far the U.S. has come under Bradley, USSF president Sunil Gulati (Bradley's boss)
said that he was "disappointed" in the team's Round of 16 exit from the 2010 World Cup.

Claudio Reyna, one of the few quality players to survive the US Soccer landfill,
shares a brief story with us.
Claudio Reyna play midfield for Manchester City and Sunderland after stints with Rangers, VfL
Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen, earning the nickname Captain America along the way. Last week, I
sat down with Claudio at the Adidas World Cup Media Day and talked to him about his career and his
view on the changes at Manchester City and in the Premiership.
