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.

Categorize it that way. If and when we reached out to talk to other National Associations, other federations, once again, we were one of 41 and one of 35 voting members and there really werent anybody else there wasnt anybody else that had the same maybe the same feeling that i did on a personal level or that we did as an organize. So we operated as best we could within the framework. Once again, were in concacaf by virtue of being a member of fifa and we felt we had to find a way to participate, work our way through and fortunate enough by a close vote, 1817, mr. Gillatty was elected in april of 13 and we think that was a step in the right direction, a step towards reform 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 sometimes.
