[quote=Anonymous]The 2002 World Cup qualification campaign was a pain in the butt and we qualified 3rd place in the hexagonal with 17 pts, 5-2-3 record and +3 GD. We reached the quarterfinals which was pretty great, although Mexico in the round of 16 wasn’t exactly a powerhouse.

The 2014 World Cup qualification we came 1st place in the hexagonal with 22 pts, 7-1-2 record and +7 GD. We came up short in the round of 16, though we took Belgium the distance, a quite formidable team.

Under Klinsmann we lost the first 2 games of the hexagonal, then Bruce Arena was brought back in and touted as the guy who would get us into the World Cup, sure thing. And he also lost 2 games, and tied 3 more. Jurgen gave Pulisic his debut, and brought Brooks and Fabian into the fold. Howard had some of his strongest performances under his direction. He didn’t leave a disaster, we panicked after dropping the first 2 games of the hex, said screw the process, went back to 2002, didn’t qualify anyways, fired the guy we hired as a savior, elected the VP of the old regime, and over a year later we still don’t have a permanent coach. There’s world class coaches available, but they haven’t been considered. We might hire a decent head coach of a franchise that almost ceased to exist beyond this season, but we’re not really sure about that either. Now that’s a disaster.[/quote]
