Namely, the parroting of the "deeper" than ever talent pool line - which I'm convinced more and more is totally not the case. (We have a lot of solid contributors in the system - but very few international starters and in the case of both groups hardly any of significant experience in a top flight winning club/culture).

I also love the idea that deploying a consistently "organized" side in MLS is the kind of accomplishment that deems one worthy of a national team job.
