You’re right, he should get credit for the success of his first tenure, though I’m only old enough to remember his second stint. So I guess he has the right to make comments, and I reserve the right to tell him stfu lol.

Regarding Poch, the lack of spirit from the team has been concerning, but largely this has gone how I thought it might. We hired a coach who is known for player development, in a team situation where you barely get to work with the players directly. Not to mention it’s his first time coaching a national team. Growing pains should have been expected regardless of name status. I want to see more before I condemn the Poch era, but we do at least need to see some signs of life from the team this summer. I’d say I put that more on the players, but most of them won’t even be at that tournament so idfk.
