The final straw was probably the embarrassment that was he Gold Cup final. Should have been a lot worse than that 4-2 line.

JURGEN WILL COACH THE UNDER 20 or 23 TEAMS

FIXED

 

[caerus]

Finally hyped again!

 

[deepinthajeep]

[socluis90]

its about time. us team was just getting so dull lately. excited to see how it all plays out.

 

[statis22]

So this is the guy who's gonna get the US turned around, can anybody give me a quick review on what he's about?

It still seems like we have a talent problem in my eyes.

Former German National Team Player scored 47 goals and over 100 caps
Former coach of the German National Team, lead the Germans to the semi-finals in 2006
Former coach of Bayern Munich finished 3rd in the Bundesliga and made it to the Champions League semis before losing to eventual Champs Barca http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fußball-Bundesliga
Most noted for revamping the German player development system. A system that is now seeing the fruits of his labor.

I'm curious to see how Claudio Reyna's and  Kilnsmann's respective visions for soccer in this country pan out. Interesting times ahead. 

and a thank you to Bob Bradley, I've been vocal about the US needing a change but Bob usually gets too much blame and not enough credit in the big picture. He was very serviceable the last five years, he wont be out of work for long.

Who knows but personally I thought that, plus the intuition to give Adu significant minutes was what was gonna save him.

Great hire, I'm incredibly optimistic and excited

This is why it is such a huge hire. This is something we needed here and why I think he can change US soccer forever.

 

[socluis90]

wc draw just finished. i'll ignore the previous rounds and just assume the favorites make it out of each group.

if everything goes as planned :

group a: usa, jamaica, guatemala, haiti
group b:mexico, costa rica, el salvador, tnt
group c:honduras, cuba, canada, panama


ouch at group b.

 

[demps]

yep my dad was pretty pissed.

 

[krispacinla]

I like our Draw. Sucks for ES and T&T. I guess now that JW is gone, T&T is going to get shafted 

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Anybody catch the presser today?

 

[Retroballer]

Any one else find the USA crest boring?

 

[holdupstop23]

He's really not that great of a coach. But he's 10x better than Bradley.

 

[TheGift23]

Costa Rica can be had.

Going to be sweet to eliminate those bastards and yes, I'm going to the Mexico game in Cuscatlan next year...DEFINITELY.
