re: The future is bright my fellow SBers...

I don't know man. We keep things close because we fight so hard and our hand-centric sports seem to trickle down to elite goalkeepers. But damnit, we are out-talented in every match we play. We'll never come within spitting distance of winning a World Cup until that changes. While Yedlin and Green showed promise, that's not enough to be truly optimistic for the foreseeable future.

After 4 years, a new coach, and a commitment to open competition for international spots, we lose 2-1 in the round of 16. Same as last time.
