Quick post on the U.S. Men's National Team.

Yesterday, U.S. soccer's movers and shakers decided to let Manager Bob Bradley go after 5 years, but a recent run of performances that were not in the direction U.S. soccer wants to be going. Yes, he led the lads well in the 2010 World Cup, but the team crashed and burned in the Gold Cup Final against Mexico. (They blew a 2-0 lead to lose 4-2 when the final whistle was blown if you remember.) So, who is the new National Team Coach? It appears that Juergen Klinsmann will be the man to take the helm! You may remember him as the man who helped to revolutionize the way Germany's National Team played in the 2006 World Cup? Look at the strides they've been making. His first match will be a friendly against Mexico in Philadelphia on the 10th of August and I would expect the U.S. team to win. Klinsmann has a talent for quality leadership and as long as higher-ups don't get too controlling, he might be able to work some magic with the likes of Tim Howard, Carlos Bocanegra, Steve Cherundolo, Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, and Jozy Altidore. Best of luck to Klinsmann and many thanks for the memories to Bradley!
