Gulati said he and U.S. Soccer CEO Dan Flynn met with Klinsmann recently to discuss their concerns to "make sure this [recent] string of results and the way we are headed is not the way we are going to be in November, January and beyond."

"I was at the final games in Chile. Looking at the finalists and seeing what the games were like, we are long way off from what Nigeria and Mali were at and frankly Mexico against Belgium. So that raises some concerns on the player development side, for sure."
