I'm not a big Clarence Goodson fan but I mean he deserves to know what he could have done better or differently.

If this is true then Jurgen just continues to prove he's a bitch.

I don't understand - if you don't choose him, there has to be at least a decent reason you can articulate.

Even if its just - we didn't fee like your skill set matched up well with some of the speed we will see in our Group, etc.

I thought he would make it - mostly due to the experience factor and how steady he plays.

Bora did the same stuff in 94 but he knew he wasn't sticking around for another four years.

I think it's safe to say Jurgen isn't exactly a player's coach. Which is fine, but you're not gonna get a great response from your players if you have a reputation for treating them like little children.

Sounds to me like the reason is tactical in nature and didn't want players giving that reason to the press or the other competing nations.

Info coming out of this camp has been tight, wouldn't be shocked if some misinformation was being leaked too.

Jurgen understands tactics?

Explanation:

John Brooks is Germerican and was probably promised a spot in order to switch.

The end.

I don't have a problem with JAB making the team. I think it's a bitch arse move for Jürgen to not give him an explanation though.

Then all you say is you didn't fit into our plans tactically. It's not like Goodson is going to tell everyone Jurgen's secrets for the World Cup. He's not an a-hole; he just wanted an explanation.

They're essentially the same player right now. It's a coin toss, which the German was always going to win.

Either way, no explanation is piss poor.

I think he got an explanation, he just didn't agree with it. Then he did go to the press.

My thought on what happened is Goodson and Brooks were about even with the tie going to athleticism.

They're close but JAB's athleticism versus our group probably gives him the nod for me.


I think we're trying to set it up for Cameron to play CB anyway.

Well that's just pure speculation.

I'm going to believe Goodson until Jurgen comes out and indicates something different happened.

Jurgen has been too honest for 3 years now...all of a sudden he is going to change his personality for Goodson. I just don't buy it...He's hurt and went to the press. Never run to the press over a coach's decision.

ETA: There's a chance that a local reporter baited him into the comment

So Jurgen's gonna come out and say Goodson's lying? If he does I'll probably believe him.

Jurgen's time here has been such a rollercoaster.

I remember when everyone wanted Bradley out and Jurgen in.

I also remember when things weren't going well, and players were anonymously talking shite.

Then we started to dominated in WCQ, and everyone loved Jurgen again.

Everyone is on the Jurgen bandwagon, and then he cuts Donovan...
