Handicapping the eight candidates for US Soccer president

The field for the US Soccer presidency was set Wednesday, and now there are eight individuals who believe they have what it takes to revive the federation and the men's national team.

One of them will be elected on Feb. 10, when votes are cast by a group made of up representatives from youth soccer, state bodies, professional leagues and a council of athletes.

Here is a look at the contenders, with their chances of replacing the outgoing Sunil Gulati.

Kathy Carter

The preferred choice of Major League Soccer – having spearheaded its marketing arm – Carter entered the race late, after Gulati announced he was out. She has powerful support but may struggle to get grassroots backing.

Odds: 2½ to 1

Eric Wynalda

Former national team star, current television analyst and technical director of the UPSL's Invicta FC. He's seen as the leading non-establishment candidate, and his chances depend on just how much of an appetite there is for change.

Odds: 3 to 1

Carlos Cordeiro

US Soccer vice president and long-time board member has plenty of experience and a financial background. He was close with Gulati before a falling out. He has had a quiet campaign so far while working busily behind the scenes.

Odds: 4 to 1

Steve Gans

Boston attorney and businessman who entered the race early and has been involved in soccer for four decades. He owns consulting firm Professional Soccer Advisors. He also played professional indoor soccer.

Odds: 10 to 1

Kyle Martino

Former MLS rookie of the year and analyst with NBC Sports. He played eight times for the national team. He wants to make the presidency a paid position but is struggling to attract consistent support.

Odds: 20 to 1

Mike Winograd

A former professional player and coach who is now a corporate attorney. He wants to see more openness and dialogue as opposed to revamping the entire system. He has some solid ideas but a limited support base.

Odds: 33 to 1

Paul Caligiuri

Hurt by an inactive campaign so far, the scorer of the goal that took the U.S. to the 1990 World Cup may be a non-factor the rest of the way. He wants to implement a plan aimed at the U.S. winning the 2022 World Cup.

Odds: 50 to 1

Hope Solo

Has no chance of winning – just like they said about Qatar before the 2022 World Cup bid process. Seriously though, she has no chance of winning, due to her last-minute entry and history of controversial behavior.

Odds: 100 to 1
