After US misses qualifying for World Cup, ex-coach Bruce Arena writes about state of US soccer
When Bruce Arena was asked to rescue a struggling U.S. national team in the fall of 2016, he was also asked to write a book about how he did it.
He said yes to both requests. Neither one worked out quite the way he had hoped.
"The book," Arena said, "was going to be that we qualified for the World Cup and getting ready for the World Cup."
Spoiler alert: The U.S. didn't make it that far, a stunning 2-1 loss to Trinidad and Tobago in the final match of the 10-game qualifying tournament in November stopping it short of the tournament
