No one is qualified to be U.S. Soccer president

The defining feature of the race to become the next president of U.S. Soccer is the same as the defining feature of the race to become the next president of anything: vagueness. Seven different people have announced their candidacy so far, and there is nary a specific recommendation among them.

Every candidate — Kyle Martino, Eric Wynalda, Paul Lapointe, Steve Gans, Carlos Cordeiro, Michael Winograd and Paul Caligura — has offered us vague platitudes about our current approach to talent identification and development, the equal treatment of women, on the pitch and in the administration, and the scourge of corruption within FIFA.
