YanksAbroad: THE NEW US COACH DON'T LIST

Here are the article's recommendations; read the whole post for the reasoning behind them. Personally, I would make #2 "Don't play Landon Donovan", but I'm prejudiced against Landycakes 'cause he didn't stick it out overseas.

1) Don't play Bobby Convey (or DaMarcus Beasley or Eddie Lewis or ...) as a left back

2) Don't play Landon Donovan as a forward

3) Don't be so secretive

4) Don't be so conservative

5) Don't schedule friendlies away from FIFA dates
