Concerns. It would be hard to pinpoint. Theres generalities and theyre related to the point in which they ran their meetings and how i think u. S. Soccer would be like to have a greater influence but being one of 35 voting nations and mind you mr. Warner came from the caribbean and 25 of those 35 votes are from the caribbean. It gave me a level of discomfort that we werent going to make progress in terms of transparency and some things i would have preferred as to how u. S. Soccer operates. Did you express those concerns to mr. Blazer . I did not. Any reason you might not have confronted him or asked why hes doing what hes doing . Generally speaking we have the potential to opt out and with mr. Blazer i just felt we had other things to do that could help build our sport as well and there was some concern that if i brought it to mr.

And that is the model that we felt was in the best interest of moving our sport forward in a very difficult and tricky environment
Be deciders of their fate. And im curious about a comment that was made that the European Union is better for the usa, quote end quote. My question is why . What can you share with us that would help convince me that it is in americas best interest to have a European Union as opposed to not having one in as much as our relationship with europe was good in both contexts . I think i said lets all take a swing at it. The eu whatever its current problems may be, is a Major Economic block in the world and Major Trading partner.
