re: The German Youth Revolution

To be fair, the German youth revolution started a long time before Klinsmann. The DFB started the plan after 2000, with their poor showing at the 98 WC and Euro 2000. Klinsmann was a part of that revolution, but he wasn't the one who started it. Uli Hesse Lichtenberger has an article on it called "On Reaping the Rewards of a Winning Mentality." I can't find it anymore, but it basically outlines the whole process, from shame at Euro 2000 to the success of the 2009 U-21 European Championship. 6 players from that U-21 squad made this team.

Thanks, Crazy.
MLS started to move toward academy development before we hired Klinnsmann. We put two Academy products in this World Cup. Yedlin and Honduras' Najar.
The rise of US Soccer is a total team effort from the federation, not one man's revolution. How many Germans think Jurgen was responsible for this world cup victory? Probably less than there should be. But they aren't being as unreasonable as American soccer fans are.
