JK is mostly a motivator, man manager type right? Right now it doesn't seem like we even have the personnel to motivate. We're going to have to do some of that tactics stuff y'all keep talking about and develop an identity that works. So far I think it's safe to say that nobody is seeing that. I do believe we saw some of it last year or whenever on the long winning streak, but between then and now we have regressed. The thrill is gone. Burn it all down.

Tab Ramos was busy in Spain with the U-20s. I'm pretty sure he's the tactician anyway.

Beckerman was there for his experience and to guide the work ethic of the younger players. He's a shining example of working hard and tirelessly to get to where you are. I'm ok with him being called in, even if he played shitty.

We aren't firing Klinsmann. That comment was from TNdouche so I should probably ignore it. These games are experimental, but like others said I wish he would give some guys more time than say 20 minutes to prove their case.
