Glenn Myernick Passes Away

The U.S. soccer family lost a gem yesterday morning with Glenn "Mooch" Myernick passing away after enduring a heart attack that induced a coma. Myernick, a straight shooter as eloquently noted by Grant Wahl in his memorial piece on SI.com, was a winner in both MLS and international soccer, coaching the U.S. team through olympic qualifying and assisting Bruce Arena during his tenure as the national team coach. Mooch brought integrity and spirit to the game as well as its fans - a true ambassador for the fledling game in the states. United States soccer will miss him an could surely use more men like Myernick.
