Today’s the day we’ve all been waiting for. US Soccer will vote for the next president of the federation, and the expectations are huge. I’ll spare you the hyperbole about the importance of this election. If you’re reading this column, you know the stakes.
It is important though to take stock about where soccer in the United States is before throwing support behind a candidate. I realize that most of you reading this are like me and unable to vote. We are passengers along for the ride. But I am hopeful that this and other articles and opinion pieces are contributing to the greater overall dialogue and getting the attention of the men and women who will not only vote today, but for whomever eventually takes the reins of the Federation.
