I'm guessing it won't really be manifested for another year or two, into qualifications, until he can get players who can play his style. Certainly we have some guys......

I hope we still see the aggressive Cherundolo, and Lichaj. I would think Donovan and Dempsey would be suited to it. But in my estimation, we need a healthy Stu, a healthy CD9 and some younger guys with skills.

If you rewatched his analysis on YouTube, he said the same thing I've been saying for years...."first touch is horrible" That's what he'll be looking for. Guys who can control the ball immediately and be making their move at the same time.

Obviously, we don't have ten guys ready to play that way.

We have that many.

They just aren't necessarily athletic enough.

FYI.... Qualifying starts next year.

Honestly, I think Bob's downfall was trying to get away from what the US did well.

In 2007 - 2008 we were still a bunker and counter team, and we were damned good at it. We tried to expand/possess/whatever you want to call it technically. In the next two years, our level of play decreased. When we went back to bunker & counter (Mexico 2009, Spain 2009, first half of Brazil 2009, @Honduras 2009) we played well. Really well.

Our players are still best suited to that style. We need to progress technically, but it may be at the cost of results.

I hope the fan base is ready for that.

Re: Klinsmann... I don't know. I've got the 2006 World Cup on DVD. I'll try to watch some of those games and get a grip on what's going on.
