Rocco B. Commisso claims that the governing body should be held responsible for the failures of the national team to make the World Cup
With himself and his club at the center of a lawsuit against the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) over anti-trust laws, New York Cosmos principal owner Rocco B. Commisso, who also servers as the chairman of the NASL's Board of Governors, has called for the federation to undergo sweeping changes after the U.S. national team's failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The USA fell to a 2-1 loss on the road against Trinidad & Tobago which, coupled with wins for both Panama and Honduras, saw Bruce Arena's side fall short of reaching the sport's seminal event next summer.
