FYI. Several have people have put in bids for soccer president. I believe right now it stands at Eric Wynalda, Landon Donovan(mulling decision), and Steve Gans.... Along with Sunil Gulati. Gans and Wynalda made pitches and case the other day.

My take on this. I don’t like business in a federation sport. For owning a professional team yes...etc....however for a federation especially like the US who isn’t known for soccer I think a former player should be in charge. We don’t need a lifelong fan of the game...like Carlos as he says on his website. The US needs someone who understand development of the youth in the country.  I don’t like the vote but will respect it.
