Good morning!
But, like, no reason to delay unnecessarily. The dude has to go. So, has he been fired yet? How about now? Now?

“I’m not afraid,” Klinsmann said. “What you need to do is stick to the facts. Soccer is emotional, and a lot of people make conclusions without knowing anything about the inside of the team or the sport. I still believe we will get the points we need to qualify, and I am even confident we could win the group.” He added: “The fact is, we lost two games. There is a lot of talk from people who don’t understand soccer or the team.”

(...)

From the very beginning of his relationship with Gulati, Klinsmann said, he has stressed that patience was crucial — a point he will probably try to make to Gulati when they speak about the team’s current situation. “I always made it clear to Sunil, if you really want to move up to the top 15 in the world, you need to have consistency in what you’re doing,” Klinsmann said. “If you react emotionally, you will become a roller coaster.”

Too bad he can't stay on as technical director, but I imagine he'd never accept that demotion. Agree that Arena is a fine caretaker, but we need someone who can continue our progress behind the scenes.

Just...thank loving god I never again have to care about what lineup Jurgen decides to trot out next.

Bruce Arena has a lot of flaws, duh, but he's not really the kind of guy who plays half his defenders out of position against Mexico just because he didn't like how Yedlin looked against loving Cuba.

Yeah no more stupid roster moves, people played out of position, and dumb formations

quote:

questionable coaching decisions by Arena, including not playing Clint Dempsey and putting DaMarcus Beasley on the right wing instead of his favored left against the Czechs, and using a defensive 4-5-1 in the must-win match vs. Ghana which the U.S. eventually lost

Oh.

Oh.

All but the absolute greatest national team managers do this poo poo eventually, though. It's not that he was a bad manager, it's that he was in the job for too long. Arena didn't make those mistakes at the beginning of his last tenure and he probably won't be around long enough to do so this time.

It wasn't rigged against us, we just crapped out, but it was absolutely rigged for Mexico. It was Korea 2002 poo poo. They had like three games in a row with multiple criminal game changing calls going their way. Remember when the Panamanians almost ended that game to assault the refs instead of continuing playing?

Looks like Arena's gonna be the next head coach of the USMNT.

I for one look forward to the great American soccer pairing of Wondo and Donovan up front instead of those wastemen Pulisic and Wood.

I would rather see classically moronic American coaching decisions like this than the next-level retard poo poo Klinsmann was pulling.
