[quote=Anonymous]Our best player, Pulisic, is an average player by international standards, which is not bad. The rest are below average although a handful of young players has some promise. So the talent level is not very high. Even so, I would not let the coaches completely off the hook, especially with sports media gushing over the tactical genius of Berhalter. Coaches select players and instill the style of play. So far, it is too early to tell if this team has developed identity, but I don't see a dramatic change for the better other than the team getting younger. As for economic factors, our professional soccer system is a closed monopoly-type system, which is not good for developing talent. Until we align with the rest of the world in how professional leagues are run (i.e. open pyramid with promotion/relegation), we will continue to underachieve, both in talent development and in identifying/utilizing available talent more effectively.
