    Gulati's VP Cordiero becomes new President of US Soccer with 68% of the votes.

      US Soccer has a new President in Carlos Cordeiro. He was the Vice President previously. Here’s a rundown on what’s going on now:

      1. The Twitter bots and Reddit bots are going full meltdown about an “establishment candidate” winning. According to them US Soccer is fully doomed and nothing will change. Also something about MLS/SUM cartel conspiracy.

      2. In contrast to above, US Soccer announced they have begun the process to hire General Managers for both the Men’s and Women’s systems to run the soccer side of things.

      3. There’s a bit of kerfluffle involving the Athletes Council voting and attendance. A few reporters mentioned on Twitter that Heather O’Reilly flew from London to attend and vote despite having a game tomorrow while Brad Guzan and Jonathan Spector didn’t attend “while only being in MLS Preseason” and a few “isn’t that odd *wink*” comments. Clapping back, Stu Holden said the “Athletes Council decided to vote as a bloc and had a meeting prior to the voting with all involved.”

      4. Hope Solo is still crazy.

        Oh, forgot this:

        5. The Players, via the Athletes Council voting as a bloc, decided this election not, as the anti-MLS folks around Twitter think, the “soccer establishment.” They have, by law, 20% of the vote and, given the wide open election, were able to effectively leverage that. It’ll be interesting to see their thought process and discussions about who to support and why.

          I think almost every squad has a nickname (e.g., "Cottagers" for Fulham). Remember that baseball teams didn't create their own nicknames -- they were bestowed by beat writers as shorthand. I dunno but I suspect association squads were named the same way in the mists of time.

            Rovers was my nickname back in the Hattrick days. I miss that game.

                  People are saying "he was Sunil's VP!" not realizing that the VP is a board position that is separately elected (in fact they have to have an election next year to replace him). As angry as people on the outside are, those who are actually running things seemed to have some common sense.

                          But we have less construction graft and skimming to offer.

                          Frankly, it's like the Olympics. You only give it to us when the rest of the world starts getting fatigue from the expense and close to realizing the waste. We provide them with the selling point that it can make money that they use to scam everyone else into believing and bidding.

                              Trump can give FIFA and the IOC peanuts compared to "cost overruns" for a dozen billion dollar stadiums.
