They literally can't win an important game right now. That was a tough game to watch. It was not nearly as close as the final score indicated. Mexico continually beat the US to the ball and had much better passing.

klinsmann has been a great talent scout, but tactically, he has run out of ideas. it is time to shift him to another position that takes advantage of his ability to turn up good footballers but we need someone else to mold them into a team. i really can't say who that should be at this time, but jk has flatlined.

no more michael bradley. the continued desire to make him the fulcrum of the attack in midfield has been one of the biggest factors holding us back. he is continually favored over more technical center mids and i just can't see why. he would do a good job occupying the spot kyle beckerman plays in front of the backline, but he does not have what it takes to actively control play in the midfield. he is reactive, not proactive.

i am reaching an emotional place with the USMNT that is similar to where i got with the gators under muschamp. the product on the field is crap and i can't waste any more time caring until major changes are made.

To make matters worse theens U23 team lost in the semifinals of the Concacaf Olympic qualification tournament. If they won they would have qualified. Now they must beat Canada and win a playoff game vs Colombia. LongTooth hit it on the head again. Klinsmann needs to completely real the roster. The D and the midfield are especially crap. This team is old and slow. Play the young guys.

I turned the channel after the Gator game and couldn't believe what I was watching. This US team did not play the way they did when I watched them play in person here in San Antonio. The atmosphere looked like a home game for Mexico, the US team couldn't keep the ball and made a lot of bad passes, and finally Mexico wanted it more. I know this is just a "second analysis".

klinsmann needs to go as well as the old dogs. even when he turns up new players, he doesn't get the most out of them. and he'll never develop a competent midfield if he keeps putting bradley out there in the CAM role ... which he will. i'm to the point where i can't wait to see both klinsmann and bradley get shown the door.

thank god the gators won. now that we will miss the olympics AGAIN i couldn't be more disappointed about the direction of US Soccer at the moment.

Who do you guys think would be a suitable replacment candidate? I've seen some of the writers start wondering if we're that better off now than from when JK took over. If nothing else the USMNT is getting more attention than before.

I think we've regressed considerably, it's sad but true. I really had high hopes for klinsnan but he's just not getting it done, at all.

Wow, a Latin American country beat us in soccer? Next thing you'll tell me is that we lost the math bee to the Chinese.
