Most of the Fox commentating team is doing the same with the exception of Alexi Lalas, who stopped short of that. Julie Foudy's name was brought up recently as someone who might be interested in running.

Guy running the New York Cosmos requested the same thing, but considering US Soccer notoriously does not like the NASL, I don't see that going over the same way.

Two of the larger semi-pro/amateur USASA leagues have called for his resignation and pro/rel.

Well, we'll know a little tomorrow. Board of Directors has called an "emergency meeting" tonight, and a conference call with the Media is set for Friday. Its expected that Arena's departure will be one of the items on the agenda. Bruce by the way gave another interview today and was his usual defiant self. Deflected all the tough questions and pretended nothing was wrong at all. It's sort of like he's head of the titanic minutes after it struck an iceberg, and not worried about lowering the life boats because the ship is unsinkable.

I don't know if it occurred to anyone recently, but our next competitive game will likely be the Copa America in Brazil in June of 2019. That's a lot of friendlies. It's going to absolutely destroy our FIFA ranking. I wouldn't be shocked if we dropped to 4th ranked in CONCACAF by the time this is over.
