Another thought: I feel the media needs to start holding the actual players on the team responsible for results on the field. The sports media's relationship with the team is too friendly and rah-rah. It's always Klinsman's fault, or Gulati's fault, or Arena's fault. It's never the player's fault that they can't go out and consistantly handle business against the likes of Trinidad & Tobago and Honduras.
Look at how Alexi Lalas's criticism of the team was handled a few months ago. The fact it took us being outside of the top 3 six or seven games into a 10 game group stage before anyone began criticizing the team was ridiculous in and of itself. Then when someone finally start directing criticism at the team, he's largely made fun of (it was somewhat corny) and his points marginalized.
