Description

An important read for those passionate about not only U.S. Soccer but fascinated by player development. This in-depth look uses unprecedented access and original data and analysis for the U.S. and other countries. Prior to the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team had won just four World Cup matches in 72 years. While the American women's team has made World Cup victories a regular expectation, the men failed to even qualify for the 2018 tournament.A  In What Happened to the USMNTA Columbia Business School adjunct professor and acclaimed author of The Real Madrid Way Steven Mandis turns his lens inward to examine what it will take for the U.S. men to achieve lasting success on the international stage. This meticulously researched, probing investigation challenges conventional wisdom and speaks to the importance of familiarity and authenticity to cultivate an organizational identity. A  If the Italians have their cantenaccio, the Spanish their tiki-taka, the Dutch their â?ototal football,â?? and the Brazilians their ginga, Mandis argues that cultivating a unique "American way" of soccer (coined the â?oSpirit of 1776â??) is not only possible but absolutely essential.A Finally, a source of reference that goes beyond recounting history without context or repeating opinions without facts or analysis.
