Steve Gans and Eric Wynalda make pitches to be U.S. Soccer president

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nevada -- Steve Gans and Eric Wynalda stated their respective cases to replace current U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati on Saturday.

Speaking before the National Council of the U.S. Adult Soccer Association, both candidates were given five minutes to lay out their vision, and then answered several questions.

Gulati was in attendance, but declined to make a formal presentation, having spoken earlier in the day to smaller, region-based groups. Another announced candidate, Paul Lapointe, was unable to attend due to a prior commitment. Landon Donovan, who has been reportedly mulling a run, wasn't in attendance.
