I suppose it was time. Looks like Arena is up again.

Where is Bruce Arena, and was it built with public financing?

Jurgen was a great player. As a manager, not so much. He took every bit of criticism and externalized it by way of blaming everyone and anyone. When the players got tired of the coach not having their backs, it was ovah.

It would take getting rid of basketball and football for 'soccer' to have a larger supply of elite athletes developing in the US.

That being said, CAF has never developed a World Cup champion. So it might not be that simple.

Isn’t he the leader of the Klu Klux Klin? We certainly don’t need a Klinsmann coaching our national team. Especially in a sport that has so much appeal to Mexican rapists.

Good change! Haven't really followed JK's recruits, but it seems his foreign born stars did not pan out. He was riding Bruce and Bradley's picks: Dono, Demps, Tim H, Beasley, Bradley, etc.

Bruce was exciting in '02 then lost some footing. I like his position on building the team w/ US-born players. I am willing to go through the growing pains to develop our own boys instead of recruiting overseas.

The USMNT needs some magic. We still have no attack...let's face it, Jozy could!d not get it done; Demps is the best but he's going on 12 years on the ntl team!

Looks like it paid off. US up 4-0 against Honduras.

Klinsmann was a great player.

Not all great players make good managers.
