not to mention the great futball power costa rica.

man, we forget to win against a football dwarf like Kazachstan (1-1) and a week later we win a freaking friendly encounter against the USA

not ashamed to say we suck at picking our moments

luckily some of our teams aren't doing too bad atm in the European leagues

Considering friendlies don't matter, the results recently make sense. He's tinkering with the team, trying people out, installing a new system.

We have no business winning games doing that

The fact that he is willing to experiment at all makes him 1000% of the coach that Bradley was. The US cannot afford to be static in its tactics as long as we fail to attract the best athletes to our Soccer team. We have to be able to adapt to the talent we have and have schemes that maximize the skills of our players.

Well Bradley was a nice enough guy, I really wanted to cause serious bodily harm to the man watching him coach a potentially good US team to mediocrity.

good luck against Honduras next month

Jurgen Klinsmann is not a bad coach. He is a fan about playing in a 4-3-3 formation. That's a good offensive and attractive playstyle... if you got the athletic players to fit in that setup.

lmao. great post. also bradley did suck as the coach i agree.

also jurgen i agree its a fun formation to watch but you def need to have some speed in the midfield to keep the unit together and not get caught in odd man situations.

yeah K8, it's one of the best formations to watch but like you said only a few teams can pull it off.

It's a reason why I like the English Premier league so much, a lot of great attacking squads.

But it's a formation that can easily be punished when the team has an off day or when the opposing team can find and wear out the weakest link in the defence line.

Klinsmann is overhyped. It was Löw doing all the work during his success with Germany. Note the lack of good offers Klinsmann had after the germany job, and how the success continued with Löw.

hmmmm Marius, maybe

but some coached with a too big ego never do weel in their homeland competition as coach.

There are some examples with Dutch and coaches from other countries too who will never be able to be respected in their own country
