Today is the day! USA v MEX at the Rose Bowl. Winner goes to the 2017 Confederations cup. Who do you think will win?
El Tri today I think, even though they have not been the best with so many coaches coming through the doors and back out again recently.
However, the USA are hanging on to Klingsman for some reason when it's my opinion he should have been replaced after the World Cup. He was a very intelligent player, but his blatant cheating turned me against him. As a coach, he has been brave at times going against public opinion with team selection with both club teams and international teams, but he seems to have gone stale and lost the plot a bit. It seems obvious that the USA football program needs a bit of fresh blood adding to it.
Klinsmann's cheating? Please elaborate. And USSF is holding onto him because he has the highest winning percentage of any US coach. For the first time in the history of the team, Mexico (in Azteca{1 of 7 teams world wide to do so}), Germany, Netherlands and Italy have lost to the US. Moreover, his overhaul of the US Soccer program has been tremendous. Don't forget, he's also the technical director. And the U-Teams are looking amazing. I would say in 10-20 years, the USA will remain above #15 in the rankings as long as the new program lasts.
I haven't heard of a Klinsmann flop. I'm a post-90s soccer fan so I know Robben calls.
To the point of coaching for A CONCACAF team, Bob Bradley and Bruce arena had faced the same competition with less results than Klinsmann and also failed to beat the aforementioned teams.
I do agree the coaches should be from the same country as the players. Me that just makes sense. However, if that were the case, the United States would never enter a world cup again. That's a joke but I hope my point is made about that.
Far is his tenure as coach, I cannot see why so many calls her is firing are being made. Clearly it's the two forwards that we had on the field last night. Rest of the team is amazing, the changes within the US soccer organization are phenomenal and have brought out the likes of Bobby Woods and Jordan Morris.
To his cheating back in his player days, I cannot argue with that. If it's a known fact that it's indisputable. But I certainly have not seen that in his coaching time
