USA under Bruce Arena

[NoSix]

USA men's national team record under Bruce Arena:

LOC MP W D L PCT GF GA GFA GAA
Home 78 54 16 8 0.795 155 38 1.99 0.49
Away 32 9 10 13 0.438 34 37 1.06 1.16
Neutral 12 6 1 5 0.542 14 11 1.17 0.92
Total 122 69 27 26 0.676 203 86 1.66 0.70


Arena's career winning percentage of 0.676 is the best for a USA MNT coach since the first, Tom Cahill in 1916 (career record:1W-1D-0L-0.750). Wags may note that Cahill compiled his impressive, if brief, record against European teams in Europe, while Arena stands 4 games under 0.500 in Away matches overall.

Should the USA defeat Germany on Wednesday, Arena would match Cahill's 0.750 winning percentage, if you consider only matches played since the last World Cup:

"I would imagine over our last 40 games, we've only lost, like, 3 or 4 games."

4 out of 40, to be exact! :D

Since it falls within the scope of this thread, I've got an Excel file of all of Arena's camp callups from 2002 through present... can post as soon as I get home tonight.
