re: Jurgen says NO to GMO

He did an awesome job at WC 2006. Awesome.

You have become the worst poster on this board in a short time. Quite an accomplishment.

I like Jurgen. I really do. And I've tried to make sense of the LD omission. It just still doesn't make much sense. And as Sheep pointed out, LD was a starter and was involved in both goals in our last meaningful qualifier.

Nah, but fa real doe...

People who defend the decision literally have zero logic to it whatsoever. Because there isn't any.

It was clearly due to JK believing the problems in his relationship with Landon would be an overall detriment to the team. Y'all have somehow completely ruled out that Landon had any fault in that relationship going south, I know, but it was clearly in the tank in the buildup to the Cup. I defend a coach's right to not take a player on a month-long trip when the relationship is in that state.
In the end, it worked out pretty well, despite some bad luck.

I don't defend a coach that can't figure out a way to fix it and manage it for the better of the team when he's obviously a top 3 option out of the whole pool.

Again, to cwill's point, it's not like he was Anelka, Nasri or Evra.

I'm confused as to why actual criticism of Klinsmann doesn't seem to be allowed. Tactically the team has been all over the place, and despite promising to do progress, we are still at the same place we were under Bradley, who played a specific style and got results, which has been the default style under Klinsmann despite insisting that we are moving to a possession game. And the only reason we were in the game against Belgium was because of the herculean efforts of Tim Howard, as tactically it was a poor decision to drop Beckerman and move Cameron into midfield, as we were overrun in midfield and would have found Beckerman's anchoring presence useful. The decision not to bring another target striker to replace Jozy was poor, as was the decision to start Brad Davis, who got destroyed by Jerome Boateng going forward and gave up the corner (needlessly if I remember correctly) that led to Mueller's goal.

I think the progress under Klinsmann has been minimal from a tactical point of view, and despite the fact we played Belgium well (not due to tactics, but things that American teams are generally known for, athleticism and workrate), he gets a pass for every decision he makes? Klinsmann, like every US coach, should be scrutinized, as he's far from perfect, and in many ways, was a lateral move from Bradley.

And don't tell me he didn't show up fat because I will find the game thread where most of you called him fat.

This was so overblown then and it's just sad now. That you have to use this as a crutch, shows just how ignorant you are on how whole situation played out, but hey, stick to your weak-minded narrative.

By the way, how convenient that you didn't even acknowledge the other part of my post. I'm sure when this subject inevitably comes up again, you'll continue to make blanket statements and attribute more words to people who never said such things.

Keep doing you, uway, don't let anyone tell you that you are not a star.

I guess I had forgotten what kind of poster you are, so thanks for the reminder.

The kind of poster that calls out ignorance?

Sorry that you don't like that.



ETA: Next, you are going to tell me that the reports that LD beat the beep test were just unsubstantiated rumors.
