Just watched the game. Lulz at anyone saying fire jurgen after that game. We played well up until the second goal and honestly we played decent the entire game. All while missing two of our best players and against a possible top 5 team.

For me, it's a culmination of events. We look like shite in *every* game.

Anyway, I think a lot of my "Klinsmann hate" gets misconstrued.

He genuinely seems like an enthusiastic, likable guy that players can rally around. He doesn't get (or just doesn't do) tactics. So, by all accounts, he relies on Martin Vazquez for tactics. Everything that Vazquez has been involved in (Chivas, Jurgen's top assistant at Bayern) has been a dumpster fire. Jurgen's lone "success" (Germany) didn't rely on Vazquez.

As a leader/manager (in all aspects of life, not just soccer) the way you handle the failings of your subordinates defines your tenure. By being oblivious to Vazquez' failings, or even worse, (IMO) willfully looking the other way, he becomes equally culpable for the failures.

Eh.
No fun to watch this team.
He brings in pointless MLSers.
Starts Sacha, leaves LD off completely.
Freezes out Boca and then Gonzales plays like an idiot.

If we had been impressive so far in WCQ no one would care about a loss to Belgium with our b side.

We haven't been impressive, and its starting to seem like we have no A side.
