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 idea if this would do anything, but I just signed this petition

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.
Basically how you guys (the English) have been treating the cup for the last decade or so :p?
