or do you think we've got something here we just ran into a bit of a buzzsaw no i mean this is actually a lot of what my book the messy effect is about it's how do you push this game forward in the country and i think there are a few big picture things that need to change and i actually think a lot of the conversation has revolved around youth soccer and there's a lot to get done and make better in that area but the the professional league in this country needs to get better and
And the onus is on them to improve the product, to improve the level of the league so that we're setting the ceiling higher for our best young American players who are coming through MLS Academies, getting to the first team, that they're training in better environments, they're playing in better games, they're developing at a higher level.
That's critical to the future of this national team.
And so there is an enormous responsibility that now gets transferred over to Major League Soccer's owners and its executives to make votes and change the rules in this league so that it can be more competitive with the rest of the world.
That's enormously important.
But those changes aren't going to take place fast enough to have an impact in four years' time.
And so there has to be a little bit of an internal search here amongst the players who are already a part of this pool and the young players who are starting to come through, players like Xavier Gozo, the 19-year-old in Salt Lake, or Audrey Memedi, the teenager in Red Bulls, Julian Hall, these young players who are starting to play more minutes and be more competitive.
That there has to be an understanding that you still have to have the mentality American soccer is always have.
You can dream of playing on the biggest stages.
You can play an aggressive and attractive style as the U.S.
did against Paraguay.
But you cannot lose the fight that you were talking about that wasn't there against Belgium.
You cannot lose the mentality that we think that you can just.
walk waltz onto a field and beat a team that is just as good or better on paper, who has players playing at just as high of a level as your golden generation, that you have to be able to fight your way to a, to a win.
And that mentality is what has to carry forward, whether it's Pochettino or not, that mentality has to be there in this pool.
And that's what I give Pochettino credit for, for instilling into the national team program, whoever us soccer hires, if he doesn't come back, the number one task is maintaining that,
that culture within the program of saying the players don't get to pick and choose when they come in.
You're either all in or you're not.
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
