I still say what the US needs to do is designate an MLS team as essentially the US National team (save for the guys who play in Europe), and have them play together against the other MLS teams, that way they’re used to playing together in the style of the National team. That’s essentially what the Germans do with Bayern Munich.
That’s what Klinsey is doing or trying to do without Gulati’s interference, adding the German approach to the US team. He wouldn’t have signed up if he didn’t have control of the program in the first place.
