He also fought the assholes who were more interested in growing mls to a the usmnt by insisting that players play in Europe. Feel like that laid the grounwork for this to finally happen naturally .I’m not sure that Jurgen is an all world coach but his place in usmnts underwhelming history is a good one

Jurgen Klinsmann is one of the many reasons Ronaldo will end his career without a single knockout round goal in the World Cup! It’s crazy how fast the federation wanted him out, but somehow gave Berhalter a second chance. I think most USA fans would take Jurgen back over this disaster. Jurgen got us into the Copa semifinals with Bobby Wood and ****ing Gyasi Zardes.
Also, Peter Vermes blew another match late last night. How many chances did that one MLS cup over 10 years ago actually buy this man? Is it a lifetime contract or something? Do we actually have to root for the man to die unexpectedly to free us from this nightmare or something? |

Chelsea’s ownership group is an absolute shit show. They won the last 6 matches of the season last year to stay in the top 6 and still decided to go another direction, but the decision was very mutual because I don’t know many coaches that would want to work for that ownership group. BlueCo is an absolute disaster. He’s absolutely tremendous with player development as well and his high press style should definitely mesh well with the players we have. He was Englands top choice to take over for Southgate as well so that’s an added bonus. Now they’ll have to settle for Potter or Howe and wonder what could have been when 2026 rolls around. There was definitely not a better choice than Poch. They finally got it right. Somehow it all worked out for the best

From dreaming of Klopp to settling for the best coach available. How crazy. Remember when you were convinced we were trying to poach a coach from Canada because he made it out of his group in Copa then claimed there wouldn’t be any big names knocking on the door?! Pochettino is a huge splash and stealing him from England makes it that much sweeter. No one in the US regrets not hiring Jesse ****ing Marsch anymore. This all played out perfectly. The best thing BlueCo has done since taking over at Chelsea was idiotically making this a possibility for the USMNT!

Without a doubt this is a good hire and best of all it finally gives a clean break from the incest between MLS and USMNT. I just hope we don't do the same thing with klingsmann and ignore his advice on how we compete on the international stage. The coach itself isn't going to fix everything. This has to be a top down change on how we bring and develop the best possible talent for our squad.
