1. The US has had some fanfrickingtastic serendipitous luck with this selection under Jürgey. Don´t you ever forget it. I believe the term is ´punching above your weight´ or ´outkicking your coverage´.
2. Big sides no longer take the selection lightly (there is respect, which previously was conspicuously absent). Most now seriously prepare to play the USofA.

These comments don´t signify that he needn´t leave. Simply, a bit of perspective is applicable, wouldn´t you agree?

Combine that with poor player selections, no tactics, calling out fans, calling out refs after losing to Jamaica, calling out players he played in the wrong position, calling out our best player for having muscle tightness after 111 minutes.

frick Jürgen Klinsmann, he's a narcissistic, petulant a-hole who has no tactical nous of which to speak and he's safe because Sunil Gulati is stuck up his own a-hole.

Fire them both.

What the frick are you referencing? The selection of players he picked turned out to be lucky? Or our group in the WC was lucky or it was lucky to get Jurgy? I literally have no idea. You sound like the guy that is writing a research paper and uses the thesaurus for every word to the point the words have the wrong connotation and the paper is unreadable.

Don't forget one of the biggest offenses, his World Cup selection...

If Jozy is a big part of your gameplan, maybe bring a Terrence Boyd or two in case an injury occurred? That was pretty fricking dumb. Bringing one hold up player and making him a focus of your offense without a similar player to step into that role is my personal choice as one of his biggest offenses.

It´s quite clear.

I used some tired, tried and true terms for you. Do you not understand them?

I don't think we are outkicking our coverage. We are probably on the level with some mid-tier European sides like Sweden, Norway, Switzerland. They produce slightly better players than we do, but we have been very good at playing organized, counter-attacking soccer since Arena took over. At least until now. It's the attempt to play the possession game that is killing us, as Klinsmann hasn't taught the usage of space all that effectively. We don't make triangles, we don't support the carrier, runs beyond the ball are nonexistent, everything is played into feet, with the game seen head on. It's a problem lots of possession teams have, but one would expect there would be some growth in these deficiencies 5 years into a tenure.

No, sometimes we don't understand you when you speak. Has living in Spain all these years affected your English that much that normal language and syntax is now impossible for you?

Yep and he doesn't use the right players to play that style and we play with absolutely no width at all

Prime example a few times last night when we actually did have the ball out wide in the final third, 3 guys would stand still and pass it back and forth to each other until one of them decided frick it and crossed it into the box where 2 motionless attackers stood.

Dandy is the Jurgen of the English language. You have no clue what either one is thinking.

You sound like an idiot. People understand you live in Europe. You needn't litter the place with faux-confusion regarding how the less refined posters here in the "USofA" speak.

Which one is it, because these don't mean the same thing.

They sound the same to me. Beyond your perceived capacity or capability.

Are you referring to beating European teams in friendlies? Friendly wins seem to be all Jurgen has really been good for. What good does that really do us?

That may be the case among mid-level European sides, but over here in CONCACAF, most countries can't wait to play us. We've become very easy and beatable. This shouldn't be the case after 5 years with Jurgy.

Dafuq?

Of course, but above all, I think the WC showing was a damned good one.

Has it gone downhill? Yes.

You people have very short memories and outrageously delusional expectations.

1. Consistency

2. The manager to not attack the national league

3. To win the Gold Cup

4. To qualify for the Confederations Cup

5. To breeze through World Cup qualifying

6. To look like we belong at the World Cup

7. To get the best from the players in the pool


That's not that fricking difficult.

Right. That is a reasonable list of demands.

I think a lot on here expect quarterfinals at minimum in WCs, and to be the perennial champs of Gold Cup and whatever else there is (Concacaf?).
