Not exactly shocking news here that Gareth Southgate is out as England’s manager.

That’s life as a national team coach.

You typically get one cycle, maybe two and then move on to whatever is next.

Now part of me enjoyed seeing Southgate at England because they never won.

But even though results were mostly there, it felt like a bit of luck.

They won in PKs.

They never looked the part.

They struggled to create.

These are far from the few examples:

Yep, that’s part of the whole Matt Crocker fear.

People don’t want to watch British Berhalter.

But also people are going to freak out if it’s Steve Cherundolo.

Again, this is why I wanted Crocker gone and frankly Cindy Cone too.

That’s not just get out of the group.

That’s not just be better than Mexico.

Now we wait and see.

I assume it’ll be pretty quick if there’s interest on both sides.

If this is who Crocker was waiting for he’s not going to delay the hire.
