re: Jurgen Klinsmann blames the refs, calls U.S. fans dumb and shits on the MLS

Sheep and I have talked about the bullshite factor of Klinsmann many times. He loves to pander to the media by giving them hot take quotes, but doesn't actually say anything of value. More importantly, he just contradicts himself constantly, as cwill177 showed.


In essence, he's full of shite.


He called in Jermaine Jones to serve as CAPTAIN for a January friendly, after he was suspended from Schalke for a month for stomping on Marco Reus. Yet he strips Clint Dempsey of the captaincy after Dempsey had a hissy fit with an incompetent referee during a US Open Cup game. This is on top of openly criticizing certain players' form or desire or fitness, yet giving a bunch of retreads second and third chances with the national team (see: Chandler, Timmy).

He is far worse than Bob Bradley about playing favorites with his squad selections. The only difference between Klinsmann and Bradley is that Bradley is that he had to play guys like Jonathan Bornstein and John Spector because of no other options.

He was brought in to be some kind of revolutionary tactician to compliment our team's athleticism with some European savvy, yet we're far more backwards than we were four years ago.

Don't get me started about his clearly personal contention with MLS and MLS players (except old snowshoes Alan Gordon). Ventura Alvarado and Miguel Ibarra wouldn't be sniffing the national team if they were current MLS players.

I can rant more about the complete hypocrisy that is Jurgen Klinsmann's cult of personality.
