In two short years, Atlanta United has rescued Atlanta’s sporting soul.

On a MLS Cup that will forever be Atlanta’s championship.

After a disappointing autumn, the US enter a critical 2019 with plenty of questions.

Chief among them: what role will the old guard play in reshaping and rebuilding the team’s culture?

Gregg Berhalter is a capable and qualified manager.

But the year-long delay and the lack of a search and interview process for other potential candidates is worthy of critique.

Perhaps worse, it immediately places Berhalter under an intense microscope.

A US team playing with most of its young core was hammered by England in London Thursday afternoon.

The game was a reminder that for all the generation’s young promise, the Americans are still far behind.

It was also another example of why a US program in transition must find stability sooner and not later.

A major challenge for US Soccer in the aftermath of the catastrophe in Couva is expanding access and increasing participation in underserved communities.

A very diverse U20 team, coupled with the black and brown faces that dominate the quickly forming core of the next senior men’s national team, provide hope, even in a contemporary moment plagued by political tribalism.

Always good to check in on the Americans “challenging themselves at the highest level,” or something.

As the US ready to hire a new coach, it’s both fashionable and fair to return to a timeless debate: What style of play should the US adopt? And given the 2018 World Cup qualification failure, is it right to privilege results over substance, at least in the short-term? Or does that cheat the program in the long-term?

Both the growth of the US player pool and its limitations were on display in the October friendlies.

We dive deeper into the pool as it stands and discuss the road forward.

The US again showed flashes of promise in its October friendlies against Colombia and Peru.

But the US have midfield questions to answer and will require more defensive consistency moving forward.

Our observations from the October friendlies.
