The U.S. Men’s National Team were an embarrassment. Failing to qualify for the World Cup is a humiliating failure. But what proceeded it may arguably have been even worse.
Bruce Arena resigned immediately after his team failed to qualify for the World Cup. That was in October 2017. It is now December 2018 and Gregg Berhalter, former Columbus Crew head coach, has just been announced as the future spearhead of the USMNT.
The year-long limbo in the meantime has been managed by Dave Sarachan. It was an impossible job. Sarachan still didn’t necessarily do a good one.
