So jdub, the S.D. Bajen MLS team manager is in first place only 11 votes ahead of diegar13 Velez Americano manager (as of February 16). Much further back we find unclend form Green Tree, it appears unlikely that he will be able to catch up with the two front runners at this stage of the game. Lets refresh the statements of the two front runners:

jdub: 'I would also like to officially say that I would like to be the coach of the national team. I have several seasons of experience and like other candidates I have won a league title at each level (also I have over 40 FL titles and 6 Private cup titles to my teams credit) and my team has moved into the top half of the MLS. I have a good working knowledge of the game and my player rating was very high at one point. I feel fortunate to be apart of the USA side because there is definitely alot of passion about the game as the length of this thread has demonstrated' NT Assistants: kobra22 Manager of Birmingham Kobras, Div 1.1 team and yenuwine Manager of American Airlines MLS team.

diegar13: 'Why I want to become the next National Coach? Because, based on my experience and knowledge of the game, the tournaments that I had won (not always with the best players) and the dedication and enthusiasm that I have for the game, I will make a very competitive coach. Do I have a work plan? Yes I do. 1) I will select my assistant and we will work as a team. 2) Players Selection. We will look into players not only in MLS but also in every USA Div and foreign countries. This will be an ongoing task that will last the whole time while I'm the National Coach. 3) Opponent's players and tactics study. We will check games played by different countries, their player's skills and tactics. We will find the opponents' weaknesses and we will make those work in favor of our team. It will also be an ongoing task. 4) Tactics and Strategies. We will try different tactics and strategies to find the best one that will make our team win. We will test players' positions in the field. We will rotate and switch them in order to find the best player for the best position. 5) We will try to schedule as many friendly games as possible in order to find the best team possible and to best know our opponents. 6) We will answer any questions that you may have related with the team. We will accept different opinions and points of view but we will take the final decision. If you think I could be the next US National Coach, I encourage you to vote for me the next election' NT Assistant: rivercampion manager of River Plate D Best

The problem we have is that very few US managers have voted!!. The apathy is alarming look at the number or votes and just compared with the number of active accounts in the US = 6313!! And we not even reach 2% of that number in votes! That is really not good, even if only 20% of those accounts are real, still the number is ridiculously low. US manager have to get involve to be able to develop a worthy National Program and select the best possible NT and the have the best possible representatives in the next MZ World Cup You are still on time elections will close by the March the 3rd, but better hurry….

WE NEED YOU!
