- How bad would it be if the U.S. misses the World Cup? Eh: "There's this sentiment out there from some quarters that somehow the U.S. needs a reset in the form of not getting to a World Cup in order to progress, and I completely disagree. I don’t think we need a mirror held up to get us to know what we are or what we aren't. We are very aware of our problems and our challenges. The damage that missing out on the platform that is the World Cup would be a huge blow, and not a necessary one at this point in time. Any return and improvement that would happen after not qualifying is, as far as I’m concerned, advancement that is going to happen regardless."
