ajzepp Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I know most of you don't care, so I apologize.... But how the hell do you have a coach the caliber of Juergen Klinsmann willing to negotiate for MONTHS ON END to help take a struggling team to the next level, and end up letting the guy get away??? This is absolutely LUDICROUS!!!! The guy lives in California, loves the American lifestyle, took an overachieving German team to the finals of the World Cup, and you just let the guy walk?? Screw US Soccer....I'm now convinced that they don't care about making a serious run at credibility on the world stage. I was 100% behind them until I saw that half assed effort at the WC. Their world ranking was nothing more than an inflated JOKE. Geesh....it takes a lot to really infuriate me, but this did it.

This is pure bull sh--. http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/6241726 860257[/snapback] Hey, I have to agree with you. I was very angry when I read this story yesterday. Now, I am a bit more sanguine. In fact, there are a lot of good coaches out there. At this point, a new coach would be an improvement just from a player evaluation standpoint. We need someone who can evaluate our talent objectively. Tactically, I worry a bit that we might get someone unqualified--that is the area I really thought we would be improved with Klinsy. I do wonder whether Sunil is the right man for this job. The US should be making better strides than we have shown over the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 People give a crap about Soccer in North America? 860389[/snapback] Hey! If I didn't enjoy the often times witty retorts from the "kickball sucks!" faction, I wouldn't even start these posts to begin with. But you're in clear violation of the "sloppy seconds" rule. If you're going to offer up your retort, it needs to be something more original than what was said five or ten posts earlier. Thank you for your cooperation.
