[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It must kill you that even with the recent crappy results, Arena's stats are still better than Klinsmann.

Nothing written above demonstrates that Arena left a bigger mess than Klinsmann.  We made the WC in 2006.   The team was in shambles when Klinsmann left.[/quote]

No, because I don't care. What I care about is using Klinsmann as a scapegoat to avoid the real problems: US Soccer and MLS. Stats are nothing if you can't win big games. And that will come with two things neither US Soccer nor MLS does well: Player development and coach development.

Our problems are structural and won't be solved by hiring someone like JCO or Tata. But US Soccer trying to rig the choice for Berhalter shows that they have learned absolutely nothing from the past four years. Not. A. Single. Thing. Just reinforcing mediocrity.

There is no evidence that JCO and Tata would solve the organizational problems.  They are good coaches, no question.  There's also no evidence to support your contention that Klinsmann was a better manager than Arena circa 2002-2006.  Rather it's the opposite.

Has Berkhalter been announced yet or are you just poisoning the well to prepare for the announcement?
