In case you hadn't heard, the United States Failed To Qualify For the World Cup. Among other repercussions, United States Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati, whom has held the position since 2006 (and had never faced a challenger ever in elections for the presidency), declined to seek re-election. In his wake lie eight contenders for the presidency. Let's meet the candidates!

Paul Caligiuri
A former USMNT member with 110 caps over 13 years. Scored the shot heard 'round the world, which qualified the US to their first World Cup in 40 years.


Kathy Carter
Soccer United Marketing President. The collusion-est candidate.


Carlos Cordeiro
USSF Vice President. Second-most status quo candidate.


Steve Gans
An attorney from Boston who has his own logo for the election!


Kyle Martino
Another former USMNT member. Supported by Thierry Henry and David Beckham.


Hope Solo
Former USWNT member. Beat the poo poo out of her family once.


Michael Winograd
Lawyer and former A-Leaguer. Probably has a dead body in his shed.


Eric Wynalda
Former USMNT member, current analyst for Fox Sports. Supported by NASL folk.

The election will take place on February 10th at the National Council Meeting during the U.S. Soccer Annual Meeting. There are a total of 1,135 votes distributed among five councils (youth, adult, professional, player's, and everyone else) and it takes 568 votes to win. If no one receives 568 votes on the first ballot, then a run-off occurs.

Here's a cheat sheet of their stances

Well, that's what I get for hoping the guy did not look like a pedophile.

I'd think it would be Carter, just based on how the actual voting is all broken out.
