I think my takeaway from the current state of US soccer on the biggest stage is that there’s a fundamental disconnect between how players on the team expect each other to play. The European league players and the MLS players are not on the same page and there’s no connective tissue.

But at this point, most of the current players play in Europe. The development point is definitely true, we don't develop offensive creators, just faciltators.

Out of curiosity, which MLS players, specifically? I ask because, if we’re talking about tonight, not a single player who stepped on the field plays in MLS

It's like they play completely different styles. Lot of passes to where someone should be, but that someone is doing something completely different. At least when the US was all about just being great athletes and trying to win by attrition it was a cohesive philosophy.

You’re not watching a US attack from the backfield thinking “Oh damn they’re gonna work this thing through and generate a legitimate chance,” you’re thinking “I hope the ball finds a way to bounce to someone in a position to score”
