Why we have to get younger: Part 2

When the USMNT go to Qatar, we can’t continue to utilize players past their sell-by date as we attempted to do during the last cycle. In part 1 of this discussion, I spoke about the advanced age of our players in how it relates to the World Cup in Qatar, but an aging roster is only one reason why it is necessary to aim for younger and hungrier players.

The second reason is because the locker room is broken to the point where the best possible fix is a major overhaul. Players and coaches consistently not on the same page shows how out of touch they were with one another.
