Remember all the hubbub about the election for president of US Soccer a couple months ago? About how the winner was going to singlehandedly determine the future course of events for the sport in America? How the wrong choice would surely result in chasms of fire engulfing the continent, dogs and cats would start living together, and Mexico would win every game we ever play against them 2-0 in perpetuity? Well, that last part might still happen, but the rest hasn’t.

What has happened, though, is a lot of nothing. No new manager for the men’s team, though that shouldn’t be too surprising for a couple reasons. First, all the good managers are getting ready for the World Cup right now. Second, the person who’s supposed to hire that manager hasn’t been hired yet, either. I won’t accuse US Soccer of receding into the shadows after the most public thing that’s happened to them ever, but they certainly haven’t been broadcasting anything they’ve been up to, either.

I suspect that Carlos Cordeiro prefers to stay out of the public eye. He certainly did in the lead up to the election. Since he was elected, the only new things I’m aware of are grumblings about the executive in charge of men’s national teams role, or lack thereof, and that US Youth Soccer totally reorganized its youth national leagues. Wait, US Youth Soccer and US Soccer aren’t the same thing. Never mind, I have no idea what US Soccer’s been up to since mid-February.

One thing that fans plainly wanted out of the new regime at Soccer House was change. Fans aren’t stakeholders, though. What the stakeholders wanted was transparency and a role in making decisions that affected them. Maybe they’re getting that, but the fans aren’t. At least, not so far. What gives?

• POWER RANKINGSSSSS. Hour rankings: 5:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m., 9:00 p.m., 10:00 p.m., 11:00 p.m. Nothing good happens after midnight, no matter how much fun you think it is at the time. Quick joke a buddy’s dad used to tell (that took me way too long to get): If you aren’t in bed by 11 o’clock, it’s time to go home.
• The Chattahooligans made a scarf out of the offside rule, a truly great contribution to society.
• In case you missed it, Mark Pulisic is on Bob Lilley’s staff at Pittsburgh Riverhounds now.
