[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2688915, member: 12852"] I get a renewed sense of hope after each new manager comes on. I might be more enthusiastic right now about the future b/c the breadth of quality young talent in the pool is better than ever. I'm not sold that Berhalter is the answer, but I don't think he's going to hold us back as much as Boob Bradley seemed to and Arena after the Jurgen sacking. I'm actually a little eager to see them all try to figure out the international game together over the next cycle. The potential for growth there is exciting to me. I'm not expecting us to be a Spain, Brazil, Belgium, or Germany type of juggernaut. But in spite of our feckless federation leadership, I think the pieces are there to be a solid top 5 - 15 in the world side in a few years. Obviously we'll need to catch some good breaks along the way, but that's what being a fan is all about. I can see Qatar being another South Korea/Japan for us with a lot of young talent who don't know they're outclassed going in a little under the radar. Unfortunately, I can also see us failing to qualify again. I consider Sunday night a step in the right direction, but I'm not putting too many eggs in the basket just yet. [/QUOTE]
