I admired his turnaround at Chelsea. From a totally shambolic signing strategy he brought order and wins. Maybe it won't work for the USMNT but he's a strong hire and I support it.

Agreee with this. No one will care what his views are. They will be telling him what to do.

at least with Poch we can lose while trying to win instead of losing while trying not to lose as under Greg

It's possible that both pools are crap relative to expectations.

You're saying our soccer culture and level of soccer development is on par with the overseas powerhouses?

I think he’ll be focused on preparing usmnt for the World Cup.

He will first have to look at the pool he has to choose players from for his rosters.

What leagues?
He would just be focussed on the top tier USYNTs pools

Can't boil the ocean

The development pool for USYNT draws from multiple leagues scattered with clubs scattered across the country none of whom are beholden to US Soccer. US Soccer does not have the resources to create an academy or to bring training in house or to cajole the league to follow their standards

You must not be following the USYNTs closely on the boys side.
They are all from MLS Club or European academies. With maybe one or two exceptions.
Not pulled from all corners of the earth.

There is a process and criteria to select the final rosters of U23, U21, U18
He can definitely have input on that.
Based on looking at the program at that level, the development system topic (to be on that level) has to come up.

Chelsea owes him money so he cannot sign with USMNT yet
