re: Future of team USA

I've been guilty of really just following Serie A, EPL and more recently Bundesliga and pretty much ignoring MLS but intend to change that as well.
As far as the USA's future, I think we're still a long way away from having the quality all over the pitch + depth to be a real threat to take out 2-3 great sides consecutively but we're at least a serious contender against anyone which is already amazing progress for US soccer.
However, I think that this year's CUP was extremely open. In 2014, I expect that sides like Italy, England, Germany, Brazil ect will be stronger in addition to there being no fall off among the better sides and so, for me, I see this Cup as a real lost chance to take advantage of draw that may be the easiest we'll ever see.

I don't think we have a LONG way to go. I think the gap is closing. We have had pretty decent World Cup runs in the past four (excluding '06)
I think our talent is a ton better than it has been. I know that England is having problems and don't have a TON of new talent to come around. I am really good friends with two Brit's and I asked them about the future of their soccer team and they were both pessimistic.

Agree 100% USA should & could have made it to the Semi's.....giving US soccer a huge boost in the arm. They spoiled a great opportunity this year.
