Well, OK. I'm not a Bruce Arena fan, but he may ...

... well be our best choice for the rest of this cycle. Nearly all quality coaches in the world are engaged in league contests at the moment, and aren't available. Any foreign coach that may be available won't be familiar with the MLS, many of our players, and may not even speak English. Arena understands qualifying through Concaf, and understands WC qualifying generally. We're two games in the hole and can't suffer a slow ramp up.

And at Arena's age, he knows it is his last shot at this level.
