Dave Sarachan may only be a caretaker manager for the U.S. men's national team, but he has struck the right balance in naming his roster for the Nov. 14 friendly against Portugal.
In the wake of the U.S. team's failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, there was certainly a "throw the bums out" mentality permeating the U.S. soccer community. The anger and frustration is understandable but if the U.S. is to really turn the page from the debacle that was the 2-1 defeat to Trinidad & Tobago last month, there will need to be a hand-off of sorts from more experienced performers to younger ones.
