Tim Howard Commits to 2014

Tim Howard, the U.S. Men's national team goalkeeper, has committed to playing for the U.S. in 2014 when all the world's teams will gather to play in Brazil. I know, its kind of early to be talking about the 2014 world cup already, but this is a key piece for USMNT to compete in 2014. With Howard on board, another question has yet to be answered in the case of Bob Bradley. Bradley is being courted by the EPL's Fulham. If Bradley takes the job in Europe, it likely opens the door for Jürgen Klinsmann to become the USMNT's head coach.

The water is still muddy in the situation of the USMNT, but Howard's commitment to 2014 is the first step to figuring out what kind of team the U.S. will field in the future. Expect a lot of these questions to be answered by August 10th when the USMNT will face Brazil.
