re: Bruce Arena to save the day?

Hiring Bruce is just a move backward. However, I'm not sure any coach can produce a world class team until there is some realization that the technical skills of the players needs to improve. Way too many lost balls, bad passes, poor decisions, etc. Our style of play (maybe best for the skills available) won't produce consistent winning against the quality European & SA teams. If you watch some of the U-17 World Cup, you'll see where we'll be in 5 years - barely competitive.
