Latest AFTN podcast had a brief discussion of MLS moving a winter schedule, and the co-host (Zach, for those who know him) mentioned (without saying it directly) that the CPL would also look to move to a winter schedule. No other real details, only implication of it. https://aftn.ca/episode-644-the-aftn-soccer-show/ Missed the minute mark, but I think it was after the LA vs NY discussion and definitely before the listed music break. -
I say stick with them and let them build that chemistry. Several of the incumbents, who share a few hundred caps among them and are still not on the same page after all those appearances, have probably reached their ceilings. Maybe not for one or two, but until the team gets a new coach (and I honestly want someone from outside of the CWNT/CSA legacy orbit here to lessen an incumbency bias), I feel that they'll just be spinning wheels. Maybe they blast lesser ranked Korea off the pitch tomorrow and that would certainly be a positive but how we do is a more important than barometer than just the scoreline. -

In retrospect, Osieck won the Gold cup in 2000 with probably similar or less talent than Lenarduzzi had for WCQ 1998. One can argue that the prestige level of the Gold cup was very low at the time but still, Oscieck (unlike Lenarduzzi in 98 WCQ) didn't have Peschisolido nor Radzinski back in 2000. The one thing that turned me off from Lennarduzzi was the way we played in the first two games in hex in WCQ 1998, and the fact that in post game comments he expressed satisfaction. I thought that we were really played off the park in the Azteca (4-0 loss) and at Palo Alto (3-0 loss), but he seemed satisfied. I get it that perhaps we didn't have the horses to compete but would it have been too much to ask for (if you didn't have the horses) to come up with a game plan to play a more positive soccer? I mean, we lost 4-0 and 3-0 in those games and you should never loose that way by playing negative soccer. That's just not good under any circumstances and the coach has to bear some responsibilities. Also, Rad (our best talent) snubbed the MNT after that that stint. No matter how difficult a guy can be or may be (if that's the case at all) you gotta make peace with your best player. And, you gotta play him. Herdman has to be top choice. He got us to the WC and we finished first in the hex. For me, Marsch now edges out Osieck based on what we accomplished at Copa America. A fourth place in Copa is more significant in my mind than winning the Gold cup in 2000 based on what was the pretige of the Gold Cup in 2000.. Plus, under Marsch, we beat some of the kind of sides that we would not even dream of under Osieck and Lennarduzzi regimes. Ultimately, when it comes to judging coaches in any sport, Its the results that matter. PS>; Let not forget that Lenarduzzi's team made it the hex due to the great fortune of being in a piss poor semi final grouping. Yallop, Mitchell and others did not have the same fortune. We were dead last in the hex for WCQ 98 by a country mile.
