No they should have done him like USC and Pat Hayden did Lane Kiffin, fire him before he gets on the plane home.

On another topic here is why the future is bleak, USA Soccer and their rules regarding headers.

Yeah, yesterday Arena's own comments were that he didn't want to go through another 4 year cycle, and said he'll go with whatever is right. Well, I think it was made apparent what was right.

Problem now is: who steps into this job? Gulati, if he doesn't resign -- which he likely won't -- then the election is in February. Particularly, if you're an outsider coming into the US job and the man who picked you is ousted in February, then you may be looking at a quick exit yourself. In truth, though, I don't think they'll bring in an outsider. Still tenuous until the time that Gulati leaves.

No big deal. All this means is that we can watch and treat the cup in the exact same way that we typically watch and treat the cup after the second round.

And there have been better footballing nations who have failed to qualify than the US, so this puts us in good company.

No idea if this would do anything, but I just signed this petition https://www.change.org/...l-gulati-resignation

He's actually a lecturer at my alma pater, and if I were still a student there, I'd stage some protest to call for his resignation
