First of all, Mixx if you are going to be an ass please don't post at all. You do know soccer so if you have something to say that will be productive for this thread and not just "USA sucks" then go ahead. Anyway, Klinsman just resigned as the German coach and I think there is a strong possibility that he goes to coach the US for a couple reasons. Klinsman lives in California and I heard about 20 minutes away from the US team training area so that would be more convenient for him. There is also less pressure on him in the US than in Germany. He'd be an American hero if that team can even win one game, lol...so I'd definetly think he'd be more comfortable here. Klinsman also does not hate the US like some Europeans. Like I said, he lives here and he hired American trainers for his German team. I think it works out well for both sides. He would be a good coach for the US. I really don't like Arena and hope he gets fired even though he was the best coach the team has ever had. Klinsman would be much, much better.What do you all think about the possibility of him coaching here?
I'll be the first one to post on here expect you haha.Anyways If you guys get Klinsman, that would be really good for you guys he would run the european style right way no you guys that is really good. You guys would really improve and you guys would win a lot games and you would beat alot European teams with him and you would gain "RESPECT" right away. I think Freddy Adu would be Klinsman number 1 man why I say that cause Freddy Adu is playing like a European player and Klinsman would look at him right away and would work with him the most. Klinsman would change your whole line and he would run what he thinks is the right way for the USA Soccer Team to be successful in the future.
The best part is he did get some coaching and playing experience in Europe and now he is only 41. If he decides to come here i'll be very happy.
Now it's official that Arena will be gone. Hopefully they can get someone good to replace him.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Arena out as U.S. coach at end of yearJuly 14, 2006CHICAGO (Ticker) - Bruce Arena's eight-year tenure as coach of the United States national team is coming to an end.U.S. Soccer announced Friday that Arena's contract will not be renewed when it expires at the end of the year."We will begin an immediate search for a new national team coach," U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati said. Gulati met with Arena and secretary general Dan Flynn at New York's La Guardia Airport for five hours on Thursday and spoke over the phone Friday morning to discuss the coach's future."I would like to thank the players, coaches and staff who have been with the program over the last eight years," Arena said in a statement. "Their tireless effort has helped transform the national team program into something we can all be proud of, and I am extremely grateful for their commitment. I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and I would like to thank U.S. Soccer for the opportunity and their support throughout my tenure."I am proud of how far the organization has come over the last eight years, and I am extremely optimistic about the future of the sport in our country. As for me, I am planning to take some time off to weigh my future opportunities."Hired in October 1998, Arena has gone 71-30-29 guiding the U.S., setting records for wins, games (130) and winning percentage (.658). The 54-year-old Brooklyn native previously had won five national championships in 18 years at the University of Virginia and led D.C. United to the first three MLS Cup finals, winning two."Bruce Arena's success on the field for the United States is unprecedented," Gulati said. "But it is more than just the results he has achieved on the field. Simply said, no one has done more to lift the stature and respect of our men's national team programs worldwide."We appreciate Bruce's years of service to U.S. Soccer, and as we move forward we will be looking for someone to build on the success he has established for our men's program and our organization."Numerous reports have linked Arena to the coaching position with the struggling New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer. The last-place squad fired Mo Johnston last month and replaced him with assistant Richie Williams. Gulati said Arena turned down an international opportunity before the World Cup to give his full attention to the U.S. effort.Arena guided the U.S. to a surprising quarterfinal run in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, but the Americans came in last in the rugged Group E of last month's World Cup in Germany."I think comes down primarily to eight years being a long time," Gulati said. "We want to continue the progress we've made, but I think having a fresh approach after eight years ... is the strongest factor."We didn't get the result we wanted at the World Cup, but Bruce Arena did not all of a sudden become a bad coach."It is believed that U.S. Soccer will attempt to hire Jurgen Klinsmann, who led his homeland to a semifinal showing at the World Cup. Klinsmann, who resigned from the German post on Wednesday, is married to an American and lives in Southern California."I'm sure I will talk to Jurgen," Gulati said. "Whether we'll talk seriously about this, we'll see."</div>
