My favorite gif of the Klinsmann era

The frick you at the end was great.

The Klinsmann pump

Bradley may have been a superior tactician, but his overall soccer strategy was dangerous, if not debilitating, and not appropriate for the current state of U.S. soccer. Klinsmann may have more offensive talent at his disposal, but his strategy focuses on offensive production and putting teams away not with bunkering but with a non-stop offensive onslaught. Given that the U.S. fanbase largely has only a cursory interest in the sport, offensive production is the proper method of procuring additional support. It also is the better method against the mediocre talent that the U.S. plays within the region. Bob's bastion of bunkering leads to lethargic, unwatchable soccer that seemed to often lead to late equalizers by some El Salvadorian smurf poaching against our average backline.

even if it was pretty PC, the intent was evident.

His celebrations are great. Very Thomas Müller-esque in that they are not planned out or even thought about for a millisecond, both of them just throw their hands up in the air or whatever emotion pours out of their body first. Always funny to watch.

Wasn't really talking about that one. But yes he has lived in California for a long time. He's a bit of a fruit, so it fits him well.

I imagine Klinsmann making gun noises every time he pumps his fist

That's more perception than reality. We haven't really been a bunker and counter team since the late 90s/early 2000s.

But CSB anyhow.
