The US Men’s National Team are starting again. After the debacle of failing to qualify for last summer’s World Cup, the USMNT decided to rip everything up, start over and build from the bottom once again with an influx of exciting young talent right across the pitch.
Given the vast quality and potential that U.S. soccer currently boasts at the youth levels, it is a smart approach. There is a great collection of burgeoning players at several positions around which to build. And the U.S. set-up is embracing the new and the fresh.
Unfortunately, that new and fresh hasn’t quite extended to the striker position.
