[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holy sh!t, are you people on drugs?  While I agree it was time for him to go, he was fighting with one hand behind his back his entire tenure.  We have systematic problems with the sport in this country and Klinsmann was fighting to change this.  Until we see that MLS is part of the problem and not the solution, we will be mired in mediocrity or worse for the next few generations.

Look at the team that was on the pitch for those two recent losses.  That's the best this generation has to offer?  Michael Bradley is a trainwreck.  Jozy's first touch is embarrassingly bad.  Pulisic is the future, but what does he have around him?[/quote]

My sons (8 and 11) asked me why Klinsmann was fired.  I said US establishment didn't like him because he was always putting down the MLS and he wanted his national team members to play in Europe not MLS because the MLS is not high-level soccer.

My 11-year old responded "well, the MLS does suck".  I said "exactly". This is a case of fighting and trying to do the right thing g even if it will cost you a job.

My kid sees the hypocrisy at the big clubs in our area too.  So much politics and cow-towing and big kids with zero first touch, etc.  The sport in this country is a losing battle.[/quote]

Completely agree.  Although I really do think Klinsmann was bad and had to go, I don't know how much of it was actually his fault or what anyone else could do better.

MLS is SO, so, so bad.[/quote]

Problem is he was coach and technical director.  Too bad his role as TD couldn't continue while getting a coach for the USMNT itself.[/quote]
