U.S. coach Bruce Arena says Orlando is perfect host for World Cup qualifier

Orlando mayor Buddy Dyer and Orlando City CEO Alex Leitão both sat on stage, but nearly every question during a news conference Saturday went to the man sitting between them — Bruce Arena, coach of the United States men’s national team.
