Soccer Post: Klinsmann is reportedly canned

[Jgbishop]

. Mullen to USMNT?

 

[KurtRambis4]

Can't say im suprised.

The results over the last 18 months have been bad, at times.

After our last 2 outings, I can't say I'm surprised. We need to stay within the confines of Europe when making our next hire.

The current state of USA soccer has be worried.

Looks like they're bringing back Arenas.

 

[KurtRambis4]

From what I read

last week, he was asked about coming in temporarily.

For a second I thought this was UM related

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Ugh. I don't know if I like a change and I'm not sure about the USMNT going the Polk II route.

klinsmann hasnt delivered.

Arenas will get us qualified. Kline Mann was looking doubtful. Tough time to have to make a hire. But better now than wait for Klinsmann to screw up our next games in March.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Qualification will happen anyway. The USMNT opened the Hex with two of the three toughest games on the schedule. If a move *had* to be made, it is better for it to be done now even if I'm not a fan of it.

Sounds like Swansea is about to make Michael Bradley's dad available.

With Klinsmann, it was going to be dicey. It's not that we just lost 2 of the 3 toughest matches in the hex, it's the way we lost them and the results over the past couple of years. Klinsmann has drawn with Panama twice at home (lost 1 on penalty kicks) and lost to Jamaica in the Gold Cup when we were trying to qualify for the Confederations Cup. And his formation change against Mexico was nothing short of insanity, then the players quit on him in Costa Rica. After 5 years to prepare for this, the first 2 games of this hex were the worst prepared I've ever seen a US team in matches that counted. Huge risk to wait and see if he could fix things in March against a decent Honduras team and at Panama. A move had to be made.

If true, that was quick. He's only been there for about a month. They should have never fired Garry Monk.
