The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/rangers-mets-yankees-nets-nycfc-the-return-of-new-york-sports--20220530-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York team</a> is in rebuild mode, with no notable signings for the 2023 season and all eyes on 14-year-old Argentine/ American Máximo Carrizo.</p>
<p>For Rodríguez not being able to resign with the team and turning down an opportunity to play for Brazilian side Esporte Clube Bahia has left him training and preparing to play for Montevideo City Torque of the Uruguayan first division.</p>
<p>There is not a look of regret in the eyes of Santiago Rodríguez, who knows his stock is high and that a move back to MLS or abroad is still in the cards. <strong>Here is what the young Uruguayan talent told Bolavip about his time in MLS, New York, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-top-10-best-players-since-nycfc-began-playing-in-mls-20201223-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NYCFC</a>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Bolavip: </strong>So what has Santiago Rodríguez been up to since his return to Uruguay?</p>
<p><strong>Santiago Rodríguez: </strong>Things are a bit different than some of the things in New York, but (Torque) has the same structure of work even though they are two different cultures (United States and Uruguay), I feel fine working and training with Montevideo City Torque, with a group of guys who are really good, I have been treated really well since I arrived, and am really happy with the team and my teammates.</p>
<p><strong>BV: </strong>To make it clear to everyone, you will play at Montevideo City Torque this season?</p>
<p><strong>SR:</strong> At the moment, I don’t know, (Torque begins their season on the weekend against Danubio), NYCFC contacted me a few days ago and we are talking, but at the moment am going to play for Torque. So am not unhappy about that I like it here.</p>
<p><strong>BV: </strong>What happened with NYCFC and Bahia? Both are a part of the City Group family, what broke down with both?</p>
<p><strong>SR:</strong> With NYCFC it was a very long contract, and to my understanding the salary was not what I wanted. We could not come to an agreement. For the number of years in the contract I felt it was not the best for me and my family.</p>
<p>With Bahia it was a different situation, it was a loan deal, different conditions than when it’s an outright sale, there were elements in the deal that I considered with my father that I feel are mine as a player, being here in Uruguay, and I did not want to give them up.</p>
<p><strong>BV:</strong> You are within the system of the City Group and the deals that have come in are from within that family of clubs, but where would you like to play if it was up to you?</p>
<p><strong>SR:</strong> Sincerely, I think, I’d like to play for a team that I feel comfortable in. Being whatever league, of course I’d like to play in Europe, but if we take a look at things am in Uruguay right now and am very comfortable.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>BV:</strong> How would you classify your time in MLS and NYCFC? What did you like, what needs to change?</p>
<p><strong>SR: </strong>Sincerely I think (MLS) is a very physical league, it took me a bit to get accustomed to that physicality. MLS helped me progress as a player, and it made me a better player as a result.</p>
<p>In my opinion, MLS needs to find a way to become more important, have more relevance. I know it’s behind other sports, and it’s growing, but the league needs to find a way to make it easier for fans to watch the games, follow the teams. Get people more excited about going to the stadiums, make the local teams more important.</p>
<p>The league has top rate clubs, great stadiums, excellent infrastructure for players to train in, and that in the long term will make a lot of difference.</p>
<p><strong>BV:</strong> Are you surprised how NYCFC has restructured their roster ahead of the new season? A lot of players have left the club.</p>
<p><strong>SR: </strong>I was shocked to see so many players leave the club, there was a foundation in place, when I arrived you felt that the club was structured… This sometimes happens at clubs, especially on a team like NYCFC who has a lot of young players, there is a risk that in any given year you have to start from zero so to speak.</p>
<p><strong>BV:</strong> In the end do you feel MLS was a proper steppingstone? You were able to get on the Uruguayan national team playing in the league.</p>
<p><strong>SR: </strong>I think it is, it’s a good place to grow as a player. It’s a beautiful league to play in, only thing is when it comes to television, at times it was really hard for my family to watch me play here in Uruguay. They literally needed a lot of options to watch me play. So maybe that is why coaches and scouts are limited when trying to watch games and follow players.</p>
<p><strong>BV:</strong> What did you like the most from New York? Outside the pitch.</p>
<p><strong>SR: </strong>New York is an amazing city! You really are at 100 percent every moment, I loved and will miss going to Central Park, walking through Manhattan, Brooklyn, just being a tourist in a way.</p>
<p>What I will miss most are the people who worked at the club, even though I didn’t speak English they were always there to help, we would find ways to communicate, and it made the day-to-day fun.</p>
<p><strong>BV:</strong> Aside from New York, which city did you like to play in the most?</p>
<p><strong>SR: </strong>There were a lot of cities, I loved playing in Yankee Stadium, the fans were really loud, outside of our home, Columbus has a good supporters, or New England in the playoffs, the fans were good at trying to get us lose our focus. Lots of places really. Also, our rivalry with Red Bulls, even though we were very different clubs in style and culture they were difficult matches.</p>

Santiago Rodríguez: ‘MLS needs to find a way to become more important, have more relevance’ - Bolavip US

<p>Irish international <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/greatest-european-players-to-play-in-mls-20211228-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Robbie Keane</strong></a> came to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-top-10-most-expensive-incoming-transfers-20210211-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Soccer</a> when he was 31 years old, wanting to prove a point. Already an established player, Keane’s great career lacked one key element, championships, it was in Los Angeles where he’d lead the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/LA-Galaxy-supporters-have-had-enough-of-Chris-Klein-and-Jovan-Kirovski-20230116-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy</a> to three MLS Cups.</p>
<p>Playing alongside<strong> Landon Donovan and David Beckham</strong>, Keane still stood out among them, and potential has been the most important player the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/top-15-greatest-los-angeles-galaxy-players-of-all-time-20201216-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy</a> ever signed. During Keane’s five and a half years in MLS he scored 104 goals in 165 games, since his departure the Galaxy never again won MLS Cup.</p>
<p>Now in speaking with Betway sportsbook, the Ireland legend speaks about his time in MLS and getting a chance to meet the President of the United States, Barack Obama.</p>
<h2>Robbie Keane on MLS experience</h2>
<p>When speaking about his overall time in MLS, Keane was quick to point out he was glad he came to MLS at the age he did.<em> “The MLS. I always said, if I went to go somewhere like that, I didn’t want to go there at 35/36 where I couldn’t make an impact. I think going at 31, I was still playing at a high level, and I think, you know David Beckham was the one that called me and said I think you are the final piece in the jigsaw that we need.”</em></p>
<p>That final piece was a run of form and dominance the Galaxy never replicated since and it earned the team various trips to the White House, where the team met then President Barack Obama at the height of his popularity.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><em>“As you know in American leagues if you win a championship you go to The White House. When we won the last one, we actually came to Ireland for pre-season and played against Shamrock Rovers. So, I returned the favour, and I rang our President, Michael D. Higgins, and asked could we go and visit him at his house.</em></p>
<p><em>When we came to Ireland, Michael D. Higgins was waiting at the front door with his few dogs. The lads were actually out on the gardens walking his dogs, so the lads were taking selfies with him. So, it was a little bit different. And before you know it, I was over there, in 48 hours, and then a few months later we won the cup. I was there for 5 and a half years, and I have to say it was probably one of the best times I’ve had in my career.”</em></p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/top-15-greatest-los-angeles-galaxy-players-of-all-time-20201216-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LA Galaxy</strong></a> wanted to start the 2023 season with a bang, playing against MLS Cup champions and bitter rival <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Gareth-Bale-announces-his-retirement-from-soccer--20230109-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LAFC </a>at the Rose Bowl on February 25th. Instead, the club which has won the most <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-top-10-most-expensive-incoming-transfers-20210211-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a> Cups and have recently missed the playoffs four of the last five seasons since 2017, got a brutal message from their supporter’s clubs,<strong> it’s Chris Klein and Jovan Kirovski or us.</strong></p>
<p>Chris Klein is the president of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Chicharito-Hernandez-hints-possible-return-to-Liga-MX-20230112-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LA Galaxy</a> since 2013 and under his watch the club has fallen from champion to sideshow. <strong>The culmination of the debacle and the tipping point for the supporters’ clubs was the Galaxy’s illegal payments to Cristian Pavon made in 2019 which resulted in club president Chris Klein being suspended until the primary (spring) transfer window of 2023.</strong></p>
<p>Andrew Alesana, 35, leader of the LA Riot Squad since 2020 and a season ticket holder for the club since 2007, spoke to Bolavip about the supporters’ groups collective grievances with the club, and what if any compromise can be made.</p>
<h2>LA Galaxy supporters want change</h2>
<p>Since the statement was released on January 14th, according to Andrew Alesana the Los Angeles Galaxy will speak to the supporters’ clubs and address the issue. <em>“They have scheduled a meeting, can’t confirm when, but (Galaxy) have reached out… (Supporter Relations) we have talked to them the last few days.”</em></p>
<p>Alesana assures that the issues surrounding the boycott of the club are all due to the performance on the field and nothing to do with supporter perks off of it. <strong><em>“There is lots of things under (Chris Klein) leadership that have been embarrassing for the club, getting in trouble for cheating… The communication of the club is not good, (Klein’s extension) was dropped 8:30 AM our time, nothing was said officially by the Galaxy, the piece the reporter dropped had no one from the Galaxy named in it, it just said “the Galaxy said”, and that is how the club operates, no communication even between themselves.”</em></strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Alesana stresses that the issues are squarely on the front office and not the players who they <em><strong>“support”</strong></em> but know that they were <strong><em>“left with no choice” </em></strong>in order to get the front office’s attention on to the issues the supporters feel have turned the Galaxy into an expensive bottom feeder of MLS.</p>
<p>To many Galaxy supporters Douglas Costa and Javier Hernández have been extremely costly considering the production output of Zlatan Ibrahimović who scored 53 goals in 56 matches for the club and would go on to AC Milan where he has 33 goals in 60 games and won the Serie A championship. The Galaxy failed to reach any agreement with the Swede who simply left the league, leaving the Galaxywithout the club’s best player and arguably the most recognizable player the league had.</p>
<p>Another person who is in the middle of the storm is former USMNT striker Jovan Kirovski, who has been attributed a lot of the poor scouting decisions by the club over the last few seasons.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Alesana knows that this could set a major precedent, both good and bad in American sports, that the fans can evidently as a collective whole have someone as high up as the club President fired. <em>“In the end we want Chris Klein and Jovan Kirovski out, I understand that this could set a precedent… (Galaxy) cannot accept (missing the playoffs) for two years now, fans have been putting ‘Klein out’ on social media post for a long time… We are giving those people a voice, this is not a single fan… all those people who are upset and that feel (Klein) should not have been awarded a contract extension, should sit out. We are not begrudging anyone who doesn’t, but this is all that we can do to try to effect change.”</em></p>
<p><strong>For the LA Riot Squad, Galaxians, Angel City Brigade, Galaxy Outlawz, and Ghost Ultra Galaxy it could be the final shot of trying to get their beloved club on a winning track.</strong></p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-25-best-players-of-all-time-20221103-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Javier Chicharito Hernandez</strong></a> is the star of <strong>LA Galaxy</strong>. In the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-15-worst-signings-in-mls-history-20201229-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>2022 MLS season</strong></a>, the 34-yearold scored 18 goals and helped his team to reach the <strong>Western Conference</strong> playoffs where they were eliminated in a thrilling semifinal by the eventual champions, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lafc-vs-philadelphia-union-tv-channel-how-and-where-to-watch-or-live-stream-online-free-2022-mls-final-in-your-country-20221104-0042.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LAFC</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Furthermore, <strong>Chicharito </strong>is the best all-time scorer for Mexico’s National team with 52 goals. In that historic list, the striker is above extraordinary names such as Jared Borgetti,<strong>Cuauhtemoc Blanco</strong>, Luis Hernandez or Carlos Hermosillo. Javier Hernandez has the tremendous distinction of having playedfor two of the greatest clubs in the world:<strong>Real Madrid</strong>and Manchester United.</p>
<p>Now, after the disappointment of not being called for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-why-is-chicharito-not-playing-for-mexico-in-the-fifa-world-cup-20221113-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Qatar 2022 World Cup</strong></a>, many fans wonder if his future at the club level might bring him back to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Miguel-Herrera-confirms-possible-return-as-coach-of-Mexico-for-the-2026-World-Cup-20221203-0042.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mexico</strong></a>. Continue reading to find out which team could make this possible.</p>
<h2>Will Chicharito Hernandez leave LA Galaxy to play in Liga MX?</h2>
<p>It’s important to remember that Chicharitowas formed inChivas’ academy at Guadalajara and, in 2010, the club’s owner, Jorge Vergara, made possible an agreement withManchester United. The transfer and his presentation atOld Traffordparalyzed the entire country. From that point on, the charismatic forward was mentored by legendary manager SirAlex Fergusonand he became a star.</p>
<p>So, the romance between Chicharito and Chivas is inevitable when talking about a possible return to Liga MX. Entering the final stage of his career, the striker didn’t close the door to that possibility. “Chivas, we’ll see it in the future. There’s a history between Chicharito and Chivas. It’s there and it’s beautiful and divine. I love Chivas, but there are a lot of factors. Right now, I have a commitment to the most important soccer organization in the United States (LA Galaxy). Just like Chivas are in Mexico.”</p>
<p>Though Chicharito doesn’t know when the return will happen, he asks to fans of Chivas trust regarding his decisions and a possible comeback. “I don’t know (possible return). I’ve always answered that I don’t know. It depends of a lot of factors in my life. I hope people that really love Chivas don’t judge me because I am there or not. I gave my life to Chivas. I grew there and they gave me an extraordinary life. I think we both made history. I was champion, top scorer and then I was the first Mexican player that went directly to a Triple A (AAA) club (Manchester United).”</p>

<p>The Revolution have also won five Eastern Conference titles but have fallen short at the MLS Cup final.

<p><strong>Here are the best players to have played for the New England Revolution, </strong>a club that has seen the best and sometimes worst of MLS and is looking towards a future where they will play in their own Soccer Specific Stadium one day.</p>
<h2>15. Adam Buksa</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230103_BUS_210622_adam_buksa_crop1672770809923.jpg_22069893_c0311e78.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Adam Buksa (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Polish striker Adam Buksa came to the Revs in 2020 and his sole intention was to score goals and get sold to Europe. The tall striker made good on his promise and scored 35 goals in 74 matches across all competitions for New England, he’d be sold to Lens in France for a reported transfer fee of $10 million.</p>
<h2>14. Gustavo Bou</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230103_BUS_210622_gustavo_bou_crop1672770935224.jpg_22069893_bc23c9fe.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Gustavo Bou (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Panther Gustavo Bou came from Racing in Argentina and was pivotal in the club’s 2021 Supporter Shield season. Bou has 40 goals in 91 games for the Revs and has been one of the team’s best attacking fixtures for the last four years.</p>
<h2>13. Pat Noonan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230103_BUS_210622_pat_noonan_crop1672770994120.jpg_22069893_cf7f9f6a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Pat Noonan (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>In the dark ages of MLS prior to the arrival of David Beckham MLS made it necessary to build around young American players, and Pat Noonan fit that bill. The former Revs forward played 119 games and scored 37 goals, he was a part of a US Open Cup in 2007 and three Eastern Conference championships in New England.</p>
<h2>12. Joe-Max Moore</h2>

<p>A few days ago the final of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Qatar-2022-The-text-that-made-Lionel-Messi-cry-after-the-World-Cup-final-20221223-0044.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022</strong></a> was played, so teams from all over the world are ready to return to activity.

Here we tell you when this competition will resume.</p>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/FIFA-president-Gianni-Infantino-apparently-unfollows-Salt-Bae-after-World-Cup-final-controversy-20221223-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Qatar 2022</strong></a> was played on a totally unusual date for what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Qatar-2022-Who-are-the-first-father-son-duo-to-play-in-a-WorldCupFinal-20221223-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Cups</strong></a> are. Historically, it was played during the summer months between May and August depending on the year, although in recent editions the most common thing was that it took place between June and July, that is, during the recess of the main leagues in the world.</p>
<p>This year, however, it took place between November 20 and December 18. In other words, in the middle of the season, which forced the suspension of many leagues that must be resumed. And of course, the United States league is one of those waiting for its restart after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-players-who-have-won-the-world-cup-20200908-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Qatar 2022</strong></a>.</p>
<h2>When does MLS resume?</h2>
<p>Unlike the <strong>European leagues</strong> where the season starts in the middle of the year and ends in the middle of the next year, the <strong>MLS</strong> starts in the first months of the year and ends in the last, but always within the same year. That is why the season in the <strong>American League</strong> was not interrupted, and in fact the next one will start on February 25, 2023.<br> <span></span> </p>

<p><strong>Atlanta United and Major League Soccer</strong> are ecstatic that one of their players is at the FIFA World Cup. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/laliga-jorge-sampaoli-has-first-major-signing-in-sight-for-sevilla-20221007-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thiago Almada</a> got on the Argentine national team after a string of injuries placed him on the squad at the last minute.

Even Lionel Messi has come out publicly to tell reporters that Almada has a very high ceiling.</p>
<p>Atlanta United went one further than most clubs and actually purchased ad space on two billboards in Buenos Aires to show their support and do a bit of branding for a club known for buying top talent from Argentina.</p>
<h2>Where are Thiago Almada billboards located?</h2>
<p>The billboards were place first at the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Caballito, an upper middle-class area above the José María Moreno subway station. The second is closer to home for Almada, it is located in the Liniers train station, close to Vélez Sarsfield’s José Amalfitani Stadium, where Almada made his professional debut.</p>

<p><strong>Almada was named newcomer of the year in MLS in 2022 and had 7 goals in 31 appearances across the board,</strong> he was also called up in friendlies for Argentina and would get his first cap prior to the World Cup. Almada made his World Cup debut in the 83rd minute in Argentina’s 2-0 victory over Poland.</p>
<p>Thiago Almada has interest from various clubs abroad and Atlanta United is hoping to keep the Argentine for one more full season before selling him off to Europe. Almada could become the largest <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-the-top-outgoing-transfers-to-date-20200903-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outgoing transfer fee in MLS</a> history.</p><p></p>

Don’t let faceless Twitter experts say the contrary, the US Soccer program came off of the 2018 cycle playing some of the worst soccer in its history, there were no significant Americans playing in Europe, during 2018 there was a record low of two Americans in the Premier League. When the dust settled four years later Berhalter won two continental titles, owned Mexico, brought in many dual nationals, and vastly improved the player pool of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/USMNT--Christian-Pulisic-still-looking-for-Landon-Donovan-moment-20221201-0037.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a>.</p>
<p>The 2022 World Cup ended on a much more promising note than the round of 16 exit in 2014, where the US National team made it out of their group but were completely overwhelmed by Germany and Belgium in their two biggest tests.<strong> This <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Is-the-USMNT-qualified-for-the-2026-FIFA-World-Cup-20221203-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> squad in 2022 played their best game against their most difficult opponent, England,</strong> and played a brand of soccer that for the first-time reaped praise from the international community.</p>
<p>Still after 60 games in charge and a 37W-12D-11L record should US Soccer renew Gregg Berhalter? <strong>Watch the World Cup in the US live on <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/worldcup/?irad=1370502&amp;irmp=3119684" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FuboTV</a> (7-day free trial) and <a href="https://imp.i305175.net/c/3119684/1515422/11640" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peacock</a> (Limited-time offer for 0.99/m).</strong></p>
<h2>Where do the USMNT go from here?</h2>
<p>Gregg Berhalter was a coach suited for the task at hand, which was trying to get the Americans back on track after the program spent major amounts of money on an underwhelming manager in Jürgen Klinsmann, who while philosophically made important strides, his teams played worse and worse as the years progressed.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221205_BUS_208114_usmnt_against_wales_crop1670266872743.jpg_22069893_f2d570aa.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    USMNT against Wales (MLS)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The emergence of <strong>Christian Pulisic, Giovanni Reyna, Tim Weah, Brenden Aaronson, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, Yunus Musah, Joe Scally, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Antonee Robinson, and Sergiño Dest </strong>will be vital as the USMNT have created pillars of which the team can improve on and build off of.</p>
<p><strong>Gabriel Slonina, Sam Vines, Justin Che, Miles Robinson, Malik Tillman, Djordje Mihailovic, Gianluca Busio, Ricardo Pepi, Auston Trusty, and U20 products Diego Luna, Kevin Paredes, Paxten Aaronson, Mauricio Cuevas, and Jonathan Gomez</strong> are just some of the young names that can only add depth and improvement to those who after 2022 have established themselves.</p>
<p>The USMNT seems ready to take a big step and after laying down fundamental changes to the program, maybe Gregg Berhalter’s job with the national team is done.</p>
<h2>A new coach for a big challenge</h2>
<p>With the US Men’s Soccer Program back on track and leaving a positive impression on the world stage, what does US Soccer look for now? 2026 is a World Cup where the USMNT will look to finally break out and position themselves as a legitimate World Cup contender. To do that the round of 16 and even quarterfinals will be seen as a big disappointment. The objective to truly position the US is at least a semifinal finish.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221205_BUS_208114_christian_pulisic_crop1670266925255.jpg_22069893_c9e7ca1e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Christian Pulisic (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It’s quite the leap from round of 16 by scratching and clawing to a team that at least will have to defeat two major powers to even get close to a semifinal. It also means, because of the increase in teams from 32 to 48, that the US must play not only 7 of the best games of their lives but add one more in 8 to reach that semifinal objective.</p>
<p><strong>Gregg Berhalter was the man to position the team for that leap but now a new mind must take the reins and try to truly elevate the team to heights it has never been to.</strong></p>
<h2>Who?</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221205_BUS_208114_marcelo_bielsa_crop1670266991728.jpg_22069893_4566e4d5.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Marcelo Bielsa (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The big question, the USMNT will not be short on interesting candidates, the biggest is <a href="https://urbanpitch.com/the-culture-of-marcelo-bielsa/" rel="no follow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Marcelo Bielsa</strong></a> who revolutionized the teams he has coached during his career. His time at Newell’s Old Boys, Velez, Argentina, Chile, and Leeds were defined by one thing, elevating youth players to achieve success they have never achieved before. Unlike Chile, Bielsa would be in the position to coach the team after they have been firmly positioned, Bielsa did what Gregg Berhalter basically did this cycle with Chile, which was after big failures reposition the national team program.</p>
<p>Bielsa would be a major gamble but a necessary one for a country looking to break out of its shell, if the Leeds United project proved anything is that despite a language barrier, Bielsa can get to his players and improve them, drastically.</p>
<p>Other candidates that realistically could be interesting options is <strong>Roberto Martinez,</strong> the former Belgium coach was able to get a lot out of Belgium’s golden generation, but Martinez was just that, a tactical and very reliable coach, not the whirlwind that Bielsa was at Argentina, Chile, or Leeds.</p>
<p><strong>Jim Curtin</strong> seems to be the quiet American candidate having vastly improved the Philadelphia Union in Major League Soccer, yet to win any major silverware, Curtin is well respected in the halls of US Soccer and has done a remarkable job of improving a Union franchise that was in the dumps for many years.</p>
<p><strong>Jesse Marsch</strong> is an American Bielsa, a high presser, but in order for him to coach the USMNT it would almost surely mean he was sacked by Leeds, could the job go to a guy sacked from his las two jobs who has a lot of bark and little bite?</p>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/marcelo-gallardo-leaves-river-plate-after-eight-years-in-charge-possible-replacements-20221013-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Marcelo Gallardo</strong></a> laid huge foundations as he positioned River Plate in Argentina as one of the best clubs in South American soccer, winning 14 titles, he is also a former MLS DP. While never interested in an MLS job, the possibility of coaching a World Cup team with players on some of the top teams in Europe could be appealing. Especially considering Gallardo is an avid promoter of an attacking system and working with youth. <strong>Gallardo’s record in knockout phases is exceptional.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Mauricio-Pochettino-talks-about-coaching-Messi-Neymar-and-Mbappe-20221201-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mauricio Pochettino</a> </strong>remains jobless after a spell at PSG where he coached the best players in the world and won three titles. A student of Bielsa, fluent in English, Pochettino has worked with American players before, Brad Friedel and DeAndre Yedlin.</p>
<p>The next head coach may be a big-name gamble, but he/she should not be a gamble out of left field like a let’s say <strong>Landon Donovan</strong>, but rather a coach who has a track record of working with youth and building a project. Big name coaches used to working with $400 million transfer budgets don’t seem ideal for a program that still needs a lot of internal work, rather than coaches used to quick fixes.</p>
<p>Never has US Soccer been in a position to truly build itself into a contender, whatever happens as of 2023, US Soccer will need to position itself for the best World Cup in its modern-day history. <strong>For that they will need a coach up to that challenge, but never forgetting how far Gregg Berhalter got the team after 2018.</strong></p>

The announcement that NYCFC will have a stadium of their own by 2027 in Flushing, Queens, the kit drop by St. Louis CITY SC, and the list of available free agents as of yesterday.</p>
<p><strong>MLS</strong> free agency is a thing to digest, MLS free agency requirements stipulate a player must be 24 years old and have at least five seasons in the league to qualify in that category.</p>
<p>Among the free agents for 2023, the biggest names on the list include<strong> two <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/pulisic-to-wear-n.10-for-the-usmnt-who-were-the-last-number-10s-for-usa-at-the-world-cup-20221116-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> World Cup roster players, NYCFC captain Sean Johnson and NY Red Bulls defender Aaron Long. </strong>Below the rest of the list.</p>
<h2>MLS free agents in 2023</h2>
<p>MLS free agency became known on November 16th, 1PM EST. While these players are currently free agents, their clubs in some cases are in ongoing talks to bring them back.</p>

<p>On Friday on the radio program Ultimo Arco, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qa-with-loaned-lafc-midfielder-francisco-ginella-carlos-vela-is-the-mexican-luis-suarez-20221003-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Club Nacional de Football</a> </strong>president José Fuentes stated that the club is still hoping that Nicolás Lodeiro could return.</p>
<p>Fuentes told reporter Martin Charquero, “We are going to do everything possible for Nicolás Lodeiro to come. In case he wants to come, we will be delighted. We will respect his decision as always.”</p>
<h2>Nicolás Lodeiro’s Seattle Sounders contract situation</h2>
<p><strong>The quote by Nacional’s president seems like wishful thinking, Lodeiro has a contract with MLS and the Sounders until December of 2023. </strong>Despite the Sounders having a disappointing regular season, the club did win the Concacaf Champions League and is set to play in the Club World Cup eventually.</p>
<p>Lodeiro has been a huge part of the Sounders offense and while the club will be adjusting, reports indicate that the Sounders will not go through a major overhaul. <strong>Lodeiro’s departure would depend on a number of factors, one that has surfaced in Uruguay over the years is of an ill relative and also how the Sounders view their needs after a season where the club missed the playoffs for the first time in team history.</strong></p>

Seattle Sounders: Nacional of Uruguay on the heels of Nicolás Lodeiro

Seattle Sounders: Nacional of Uruguay on the heels of Nicolás Lodeiro - Bolavip US

<p>It was lighting in a bottle, but what a bottle and what powerful lighting, looking to be in game shape for Uruguay in the upcoming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-all-time-top-goal-scorers-of-conmebol-world-cup-qualifying-20201008-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIFA World Cup</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/luis-suarez-offers-advice-to-liverpool-striker-darwin-nunez-ahead-of-qatar-2022-20221018-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Luis Suarez</strong></a> turned back the clock and gave <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-scary-scene-as-ball-boy-falls-down-hole-during-luis-suarezs-nacional-match-20221014-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Tricolores</a> a huge boost and two championships to boot.</p>
<p><strong>Suarez played a total of 16 matches for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qa-with-loaned-lafc-midfielder-francisco-ginella-carlos-vela-is-the-mexican-luis-suarez-20221003-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nacional</a> across all competitions, he scored 8 goals,</strong> one which included a highlight reel goal against archrivals Peñarol, and two in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/garra-charrua-the-top-25-greatest-uruguayan-players-of-all-time-20221028-0057.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Uruguayan</a> playoffs.</p>
<p>For Suarez it was a dream come true, for Nacional fans a memory that will last a lifetime. On Sunday in El Gran Parque Central, Uruguay’s all-time leading scorer said his goodbye to the fans that started a social media movement that left the world class striker no choice but to return home.</p>
<h2>What comes next for Luis Suarez?</h2>
<p>In a sendoff event at the stadium with the newly crowned Uruguayan champions, Suarez was in tears as he saw the love of the supporters and his teammates.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong><em>“As I said a while ago, I came back for (the fans) and because I wanted to be here. Unconsciously I wanted to come back. You have to feel proud that people around the world talk about what the Nacional fans did and it’s all your credit”.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>“I want to thank the president, the coaching staff for having treated me as they treated me from the beginning, all the people from the Nacional staff, my teammates for the daily treatment, I enjoyed every day and moment. I take with me a fantastic group, very grateful, I take with me the memory of all of you”,</em></strong> Suarez said in a tearful and emotional message to the fans. Then the striker jokingly returned the number 9 shirt to Emmanuel Gigliotti, the former Boca Juniors striker who had to take a reduced role with the return of the former Liverpool striker.</p>

<p>Suarez is rumored to be signing next with the Los Angeles Galaxy, but that has not yet been confirmed by media in the United States. River Plate in Argentina is also rumored to still be interested in Suarez with teams from Brazil also on the docket.</p>

Now, with the rumors about the possibility of him leaving Europe to land in the US with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-signs-inter-miami-youth-players-arm-for-tattoo-20220927-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Inter Miami</strong></a>, one <strong>NBA player</strong> has <strong>promised </strong>to go to all his games even though he lives on the <strong>other side of the country</strong>.</p>
<p>In recent days, the rumors said that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/champions-league-round-of-16-least-and-most-likelyopponents-for-psg-20221104-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lionel Messi won’t stay with PSG</strong></a> next year.

<p>According to those same rumors, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-speaks-on-his-argentina-future-after-qatar-2022-20221021-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Messi </strong></a>has been tempted by <strong>Inter Miami</strong> to join them after the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/lionel-messi-and-argentinas-food-bucket-list-for-players-ahead-of-qatar-2022-20221104-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>FIFA World Cup</strong></a>. Of course the news made everyone crazy, including an NBA player that is willing to <strong>fly across the US daily to watch the Argentinian play</strong>.</p>
<h2>Portland Trail Blazers player promises to buy Inter Miamiseason tickets just to see Lionel Messi</h2>
<p>Whenever a superstar lands in the United States to play in <strong>Major League Soccer</strong>, everyone wants to see at least one game of that team. Well, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-on-argentina-prior-to-world-cup-other-teams-are-above-us-20221006-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lionel Messi’s rumors to Inter Miami</strong></a>, every home and away game would be sold-out with no doubt.</p>
<p>Just a few days after the news came up, people starting to get hyped about this move and <strong>Josh Hart</strong> is one of those. The <strong>Portland Trail Blazers</strong> player made a bold promise through his Twitter account even though it would be very difficult for him to fulfil it.</p>
<p><em><strong>“Ain’t no way Messi is going to Inter Miami next year…if he does I’m getting season tickets for the summer,”</strong></em> tweeted the NBA player. <strong>Portland </strong>is <strong>3,200 miles away from Miami</strong>, but it seems like he doesn’t care about itand his admiration for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-confirms-he-will-not-play-the-2026-fifa-world-cup--20221006-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Messi </strong></a>is even bigger than any distance.</p>
<p>Of course this move is not 100% sure. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/where-would-messi-fit-in-with-lewandowski-at-barcelona-20220925-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Messi could be returning to Barcelona</strong></a> after his time at PSG, but it has been said that even David Beckham, Inter Miami’s president, has reached the Argentinian to show him the team’s interest to sign him.</p>
