I can see both sides of it. When you get into the 2nd period of ET, you have to start planning for PK's. Saving the last sub for Rimando is a pretty solid plan. He has like a 40% save rate on PK's, which is incredible for a keeper.
Side note, Guzan is a great shot stopper, but there is a huge difference between PK's and shots in normal play.
I find that perfectly reasonable.
What I don't like, is Fabs bringing himself off 9 MINUTES before PK's. He seriously couldn't tough it out for 9 MINUTES?! It should be a damn honor to play for the USA, and he couldn't tough it out.
8 other players were out there just as long, and stayed on for the full time. When its that close to PK's, and you know he is saving the last sub, you have to tough it out, regardless of injury. The 8 others probably had muscle tightness or knocks too, but they didn't pull themselves off.
I don't like Klinsmann, but this is definitely the right call from him. National Teams have to have pride, and Fabs apparently doesn't.

We're those 8 others just coming back from injury as well? I don't think he was in any shape to play 120 minutes. In 2 of his last 3 league games since coming back from injury, he only played 59 and 69 minutes.

He's saved 40% while playing in MLS. In a game where we have numerous guys struggling to make it to the end, you can't save a sub for a keeper.
