The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

I think that's clever trolling on both ends. I mean, the pub guy could have looked it up on his phone, but that's amusing, and good on Borussia for having fun with it as well.

 

In a week where I'm not feeling very blindly patriotic, a hell of a match between the US and Mexico

 

But that finish ... goodness.

 

Natives getting restless on teh Twitterz after USMNT loss at Costa Rica.

 

Fire him. Fire him now. Bring on Bruce Arena to salvage the hex.

 

I mostly lurk here, not being schooled in the ways of EPL or MLS, plus I couldn't find the game in English on my provider, but, it's that bad?

 

Grant Wahl thinks so.

It's time for USA to move on from Jurgen Klinsmann

 

Years of stagnation - if not regression - so, yes.

 

It was pretty clear that Bradley was pissed about the tactics during the Mexico game and his comments after. And if we can all agree that Klinsi is not a tactical genius, then he has to get his team ready to play. So he failed on both accounts.

I think that Klinsi is an interesting thinker from 30,000 feet, but his teams rarely play at their best.

My guess is that he's gone, if only because of the time gap before the next Hex match.

 

Klinsmann is probably going to take the hit for it, and I'm not going to say he doesn't deserve it.

But these guys quit on the field, and only Jones had an excuse. They need to look in the mirror.
